Jonathan Kuminga just dropped a bombshell that has the entire league buzzing, and honestly, if you didn’t see the press conference, you wouldn’t believe it. Kuminga, now suiting up for the Minnesota Timberwolves, declared on Thursday at his introductory presser that LaMelo Ball is the best passer he has ever played with. Yeah, you read that right. The man who shared the court with literal legends like Stephen Curry and Chris Paul during his Golden State Warriors days is out here saying Ball tops them all in the passing game.
The Passing Game Has a New King, According to Kuminga
Kuminga didn’t mince words, absolutely raving about Ball’s incredible abilities. To say that no one he’s ever played with has been “such a good passer” is a monumental statement. We’re talking about a guy who dished to two of the most cerebral, visionary point guards in NBA history. Curry’s court vision is legendary, and Chris Paul is literally “the Point God.” For Kuminga to elevate LaMelo Ball above those two is a take so spicy, it probably needs a disclaimer. It makes you wonder what Kuminga sees in Ball’s game that sets him apart from even the greatest to ever do it. Are we about to witness a passing masterclass in Minnesota?
Meanwhile, a Gut Punch for Our Seahawks
While the NBA drama unfolds, we got some tough news right here in the Emerald City. Our guy, Seahawks QB Sam Darnold, is expected to miss Week 2. Rapoport reported it, saying Darnold is dealing with a hip issue, but the good news is he should be back “sooner, rather than later.” Missing a starting QB is never easy, especially this early in the season when Mike Macdonald and Brian Fleury are still dialing in the offense. We need Darnold healthy and slinging it to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Rashid Shaheed, and Cooper Kupp to keep this offense clicking. The 12s are gonna be holding their breath until he’s back out there.
So, while Kuminga’s hot take on LaMelo Ball will surely spark debate across the league, our focus is right here on Darnold’s hip. Let’s hope “sooner, rather than later” means we see him back under center ASAP and leading our Hawks to victory. We’re ready to get back to full strength and prove ourselves on the field, no matter what.
