The Charlotte Hornets have had a tough few seasons.

That said, the roster is filled with young talent that is led by 2022 NBA All-Star LaMelo Ball.

While he has been unable to remain healthy, Ball is one of the most intriguing players in the NBA.

He finished last season with averages of 23.9 points, 5.1 rebounds, 8.0 assists and 1.8 steals per contest while shooting 43.3% from the field and 35.5% from the three-point range in 22 games.

On Saturday, Ball made a post to Instagram that had nearly 100,000 likes in less than one hour.

Ball captioned his post: "old shi LF vibes 🕺🏽🛸💕"

One person to comment on Ball's post was his teammate Miles Bridges.

Bridges wrote: "I’m sorry not sorry like Beyoncè"
