LaMelo Ball has one of the craziest car collections in the NBA. He also has some of the best kicks in the game with the Puma ‘MB’ series of basketball sneakers. When he announced a brand new collaboration between the iconic ‘Scooby Doo’ cartoon and his line of signature sneakers, Ball pulled up to the Spectrum Center in Charlotte in a show stopping ‘Scooby Doo’ inspired truck.

The Charlotte Hornets were at home to take on the Detroit Pistons. However, it was LaMelo Ball‘s incredible ‘Mystery Machine’ inspired Hummer truck that stole the show ahead of the showdown between the two Eastern Conference playoff contenders.

Ball’s custom Hummer truck was draped in the colors of the iconic ‘Mystery Machine’ van, which features prominently in the ‘Scooby Doo’ cartoons. The truck was part of LaMelo Ball’s promotional campaign to showcase his brand new ‘Scooby Doo’ x Puma MB.04 sneakers.

Ever since its inception, LaMelo Ball’s signature sneaker line with Puma has led the sneaker industry with its bold and creative designs. The MB.04s are the latest installment in Ball’s signature sneaker line, and their collaboration with the iconic cartoon show garnered a lot of attention. However, his decision to pull up to Thursday’s game in the iconic ‘Mystery Machine’ truck took the internet by storm.

LaMelo Ball responds to coach’s ‘benching’ with win over Pistons

Earlier this week, all eyes were on Charlotte Hornetsbut for all the wrong reasons. The team lost a close encounter against the Brooklyn Nets in Tuesday’s NBA Cup games, helped by a forgettable performance by LaMelo Ball. He scored just 12 points on 3-13 shooting in a game where Hornets coach Keith Lee became the former 3rd overall pick.

But after his rough outing on Tuesday, Ball bounced back in the Hornets’ 123-121 overtime win over the Detroit Pistons. He finished with nearly a triple double, rolled in with 35 points with 6 rebounds and 9 assists to continue his strong start to the season. Unfortunately, he fouled out late in the game, leaving the door open for a win for the Pistons. But it was not to be.

LaMelo Ball’s teammate and No. 2 overall pick in the 2023 NBA draft, Brandon Millertook over during his teammates’ absence. Miller poured in 8 points in overtime to finish with a game-high 38 points while draining 8 threes to lead the Hornets to a victory. The win puts them in the playoffs with the 9th seed in the Eastern Conference.
