Even though LaMelo Ball put up a scoreless debut, he didn't fall short on putting his skills on display.

The basketball season is finally underway and the Charlotte Hornets played the Toronto Raptors in Saturday's 2020 NBA preseason game.

Both teams had some highlight-worthy moves on the court but the Hornets rookie seriously impressed everyone watching. He created many scoring chances for his teammates, his first assist was a full-court pass to Bismack Biyombo and he made two behind the back dimes.

Honestly, these might be some HOT takes, but fans are declaring that he's already better than LeBron and MJ when they were his age.
