Follow Us
When LaMelo Ball came into the NBA, he was already making headlines for many reasons. Some of them were good, and some bad, but that did not change the way he played during his debut season. Winning Rookie of the Year is enough proof that this young man is headed towards a very successful career. Not just as an NBA player, but also as a fashion icon.
That’s right, the Ball family might be hated by some and loved by some, but they are definitely not a group of people anyone can ignore. There was some skepticism around LaMelo’s future in the league, since he took the more unlikely route for it. However, it is safe to say that he has erased any of those doubts.
On top of that, he has become a trendsetter in the NBA. His fashion sense has truly taken everyone by surprise, but it was something we all should have noticed as soon as he came into the league. The signs were all there, right after he was the third overall pick by the Charlotte Hornets.
