Basketball Player

The Resume

    (August 22, 2001- )
    Born in Anaheim, California
    Drafted third overall by the Charlotte Hornets in the 2020 NBA Draft
    Point guard for the Charlotte Hornets
    Played for the Lithuianian team Prenai (2017-18) and the Australian team Illawarra Hawks (2019-20)
    Youngest son of LaVar Ball and youngest brother of Lonzo Ball

Why he might be annoying:

    His middle name is LaFrance.
    Like his older brother, he was often a target of his father's outrageously ridiculous statements.
    He left his high school basketball team after his junior year as a result of a disagreement with the coach.
    He initially planned to attend UCLA, but relented to play a year in Australia.
    It was widely speculated his father created the JBA as a way to build his talents (he folded the league a year later).
    He has his own shoe called the 'Melo2,' which is licensed by Big Baller Brand.
    He was ineligible to play in the McDonald's All-American Game, due to the fact he played professionally overseas.
    Some basketball pundits felt his decisions were heavily influenced by his father.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He and Lonzo are the first set of brothers in NBA history to be drafted with a top 3 pick.
    He was the subject of his brother's debut rap single.
    He was forced into the limelight as a young age, as a result of his father's desire to promote his sons basketball careers.
    As a high school sophomore, he sank a shot from half-court 16 seconds into a game.
    He attended SPIRE Academy for his senior year, as a way to be able to play as an amateur outside of state high school athletic rules.
