CHARLOTTE, North Carolina — Say what you will about Charlotte’s LaMelo Ball, but you can’t deny the 2022 NBA All-Star has his own style.

The Hornets point guard turned some heads on Thursday night when he pulled up to the Spectrum Center for the team’s game against the Detroit Pistons in a brightly colored Hummer that replicated Scooby-Doo’s “The Mystery Machine” — only a whole lot more expensive than the one Shaggy and Velma drove in the children’s cartoon.

Ball said following the Hornets’ 123-121 overtime win that he liked the decked-out rental.

But Ball stopped short of saying he might try to purchase it, joking, “I already got the Hummer, so I ain’t even tripping.”
