America is freaking out over the high-school basketball player who scored 92 points

Remember the name LaMelo Ball.

FEW PLACES DO sports hype quite like America, but when youโ€™re watching 15-year-old kids drain 92 points in one basketball game, itโ€™s hard not to get a little bit excited.

LaMelo Ball wonโ€™t graduate from high school until 2019 but he already has America freaking out about his potential. Case in point: he was only 13 when UCLA got him to verbally commit to playing his college ball with them, following in the footsteps of his two older brothers.

On Tuesday, Ball poured petrol on all of the hype and dropped a match with a phenomenal individual performance for his school Chino Hills.

They beat California neighbours Los Osos 146-123, and Ball chipped in 92 points by himself.

NINETY TWO. NINE. TWO.

OK, he did take 61 shots and 14 free throws but still, that is some haul by anyoneโ€™s measure.

    Conway has been consistently excelling in Munster for 2 yrs and more; this call up is long overdue

    Andrew Conway is a good guy & he is building quite a career for himself. He deserves every cap he gets. He has worked hard for them.

    @Smiley: itโ€™s just a matter of time with such a dynamic trio and will probably happen this weekend

    Always loved Conway but he always seems like heโ€™s missing something to be one of the best. Canโ€™t question his commitment or dedication to being the best he can be, maybe itโ€™s a physical thing? I canโ€™t put my finger on it. Hopefully he turns it on over these chances heโ€™s getting and brings his game to the next level.
