Charlotte Hornets star LaMelo Ball has spent most of his childhood around cameras. The sensational trio that is known as the ‘Ball Brothers’ became NBA attention-worthy during their time at Chino Hills High School. LaMelo is the youngest of the group. He is arguably the most talented between him, Lonzo, and LiAngelo.

LaVar Ball prepared his sons for the NBA at a very young age. He may sometimes come off as a crass and overbearing parent, but he set out to achieve everything he wants for his sons. Lonzo was the second pick in the 2017 draft, and LaMelo was the third pick in the 2020 draft.

It was then that his love for tuning and customizing his cars began.
