Michael Jordan and the Charlotte Hornets have been involved with the Ball family for a while now. Drafting their second son in 2020, the franchise finally seems like it has a must-see prospect. With a young core and a top pick in a loaded 2023 draft, the future looks bright for the team. While LaVar tries to bring all 3 of his sons into the league, his youngest son, LiAngelo is welcoming a kid into the world. The news became official with an Instagram post by the couple from the baby shower. Named LaVelo, the youngin comes into a family full of NBA talents.

While Lonzo is forever going to be held to unfair, “Steph Curry with a 40-inch vertical,” standards, he has become a solid PG. As LiAngelo continues to make an impact in the G-league, a callup might be imminent. The star of the family, however, has been LaMelo Ball. A stalwart of Jordan’s franchise, LaMelo is quickly developing into a star attraction. But, is the Ball legacy going into someone else’s hands?

LiAngelo Ball welcomes a new baby boy to the family

The entire Ball family attended the event, welcoming baby Velo into the world. As the festivities ensued, the pregnant couple were all smiles. Gelo and Nikki Mudarris had been dating for a while in private.

Late last year, Nikki revealed the relationship. His parents had a shocked reaction to the news. As LiAngelo recounted, “When I told my mom and pops they were shocked a little bit but I think more so excited than anything.”

Nikki, former star of “Love & Hip-Hop: Hollywood” has become a mainstay in the Ball family. The part Moroccan, part Lebanese, part Italian Mudarris, received her education at USC. She has a degree in Business Communication and was born and raised in California.

The young couple are clearly in love and they aren’t planning on just one child. As Nikki commented on Gelo’s post, “I love youuuuu gimme another one after this one”. As the young couple celebrates the arrival of the young one, it is a happy day after some truly dark ones in the Ball family, as they worry about Lonzo Ball.

Lonzo Ball’s career in jeopardy

One of the most promising recruits from college, Lonzo Ball has had a tumultuous time in the NBA. While he has refined his skills, to the point where Paul George called him the best PG in the game, his future remains uncertain. Ball has missed close to 2 years with injuries and setbacks.

As per the latest reports, his playing days might be over. His employer, the Chicago Bulls, certainly thinks so. As Zo developed a niche for himself, tragedy struck and the young star has been out of action ever since. We hope the baby LaVelo brings some luck to the family, and the apparent heir can be a blessing for Uncle Zo.
