Even to this day, NBA Legend Michael Jordan is one of the most popular people on earth. And he holds a considerable amount of power even today. And this NBA Veteran says the reason LaMelo Ball spent $3 Million on a new house is because he could be a neighbor to His Airness.

Ball is one of the rising superstars in the NBA and he is undoubtedly the face of the Charlotte Hornets, which is owned by Jordan. The budding star was chosen as the number three overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft and he has since then set league ablaze. His passing and playmaking vision are out of this world. In addition, he is a good scorer with sky-high potential. He will also be eligible for a rookie extension next season.

And Ball recently bought a house in Charlotte. It is a luxurious place that is right next to the house of Jordan.

Meanwhile, NBA veteran Gilbert Arenas revealed there might be another reason that LaMelo bought the house. Recently, Ball’s teammate Miles Bridges got into trouble with domestic violence charges levied against him, and his availability this season has been called into question. And Arenas thinks this might be a factor in Ball’s decision.

Subsequently, Arenas explained that if something goes awry hypothetically, in such a case, Michael Jordan would act as a first line of defense to stop the law enforcement officials from making any arrests. Moreover, the six-time NBA champion could also use his influence to get LaMelo out of any legal troubles.

This is obviously just speculation on Arenas’ part. There is nothing to indicate that LaMelo Ball would require such assistance. Ball and Jordan have not commented on it yet.
