Author of a superb rookie season with the Hornets, LaMelo Ball already has the whole franchise at his feet. Bodes well for him and his father Lavar, who is also his agent. They take the opportunity to try a very big operation within the team!
Almost 16 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists as well as the title of Rookie of the Year: which is to say that LaMelo Ball had a successful debut in the big league. The playmaker revolutionized his team’s attacking game, reaching the Play-In-Tournament against all odds. As a result, he enjoys a lot of freedoms within Charlotte’s squad, being his Messiah.
Typically the kind of situation that interests Lavar Ball, both father and agent of the boy. Indeed, the two men share a common project: to reunite the Ball siblings on the biggest basketball stage. Lonzo arrived in 2017, LaMelo in 2020, it is now a question of permanently integrating LiAngelo Ball. The latter was indeed seen at the Hornets training center!
LiAngelo Ball appears to be lifting with some Hornets players in Hornets gear. ????

As rumors recently indicated, LiAngelo is currently trying to find his way into the NBA. Not drafted in 2017, he has to his credit only a ten-day contract signed with the Pistons in 2020, not renewed. It must be said that his behavioral concerns at university and in Lithuania, where he evolved for some time, does not lead to confidence. We are far from the success of his two brothers …
So it looks like he needs LaMelo’s help, to get some publicity with the league franchises. In any case, Internet users were not mistaken following the publication of the video. One of them even made a pretty interesting comparison to a double regular-season MVP:
Same treatment as Thanasis, found their franchise player in Lamelo now need to keep him happy

Same treatment as Thanasis (Antetokounmpo, who plays with Giannis at the Bucks, note), they found their franchise player in LaMelo and must now keep it happy.
It’s impossible to say if Charlotte is actually going to keep LiAngelo, but he at least ends up in NBA facilities. It remains to be seen if Lavar Ball will one day see his three sons on the floors of the big league.
