Flau'jae Johnson’s stepdad Ameen Brooks drops 3-word reaction for LaMelo Ball’s 2024 recap

While Flau'jae Johnson's stepfather, Ameen Brooks, is one of her biggest cheerleaders of the LSU star on social media, Charlotte Hornets stalwart LaMelo Ball seems to have gotten his attention as well.

On Thursday on Instagram, Ball shared a short video that recapped some of his best moments from 2024. Within minutes of him uploading the post, Brooks reshared the post on his Instagram story, showering praise on the Hornets point guard in just three words.

Flau'jae Johnson's stepfather Ameen Brooks was impressed by LaMelo Ball's 2024 recap.

"Turn me up @melo," Brooks wrote.

LaMelo Ball's recap started with a quote from his postgame interview after leading the Hornets to a 110-105 win in October, which was his first regular season game since Jan. 26, 2024.

"I just be going out there playing basketball," Ball said.

What followed in his recap were some of his most impressive moments during his time with the Hornets, which included several step-back 3-pointers and his signature arm celebration.

Ball also included his clutch moment from the Hornets' game against the Philadelphia 76ers on Nov. 11, 2024, where he hit a fadeaway 3-pointer over Jared McCain to tie the game with just eight seconds to go in the final quarter. Despite his 38-point effort, the Hornets fell 105-107 in overtime that night.

LaMelo Ball is arguably enjoying the strongest season of his NBA career. Across 22 games, he has averaged a staggering 30.1 points, while also averaging 5.3 rebounds, 7.4 assists and 1.3 steals in 33.7 minutes.

"LSU BOWL GAME #houston #texas #wifey #DemBrooks #brooksbunch lets go #3 @kiajbrooks," he posted.
