While we wait to see if the NBA season picks back up in some form or fashion, several of the New Orleans Pelicans are offering an even bigger glimpse into their lives through their social media accounts.

Rookie forward Nicolò Melli is one of the New Orleans Pelicans who has given us a glimpse into his life as we wait out the “Stay home” order throughout Louisiana.

Melli is arguably living his best quarantine life.

Spending a majority of his time in his apartment in the city, he is keeping up with his workouts through any means possible and taking time to host near daily Instagram live sessions with friends and family back home in Italy on his personal Instagram account.

He’s also become quite the social media star on the New Orleans Pelicans’ official Twitter account. From his hilarious and excellent starring role with his BFF during his quarantine workouts….

To his efforts at educating the New Orleans fans in how to translate some traditional Crescent City sayings into his native Italian….

Nicolò Melli is definitely providing some must-see content.

While we wait and see when the stay home order is lifted, New Orleans Pelicans’ fans are holding on to hope that some of the season can be salvaged. When it’s safe to do so, of course.

Many of us have watched as much Tiger King as we can while awaiting the next episodes of The Last Dance. If one thing is obvious during this unusual time, we are all in need of entertainment.

Enter the social media accounts of several Pelicans players. From JJ Redick showing updates on his hair cutting skills through his Instagram stories to Josh Hart using Twitch to showcase his Fortnight skills and commentating on the NFL Draft over the weekend on his Twitter, the Pelicans have not only given us a glimpse of their lives off the court but also given us all a few smiles in the process.

One thing that has become abundantly clear, Nicolò Melli is living his best quarantine life. And on behalf of the Pelicans fans, we thank him for that and cannot wait to cheer him on whenever we get back to basketball!
