If there was any hope for the Hornets, that too went out the window when the San Antonio Spurs got the number one pick in the upcoming 2023 NBA draft. While Hornets fans may be punching the air for missing out on drafting Victor Wembanyama, some fans could not stand LaMelo Ball?s latest custom-made accessory.

Ball purchased a diamond-studded timepiece. Ball has a habit of purchasing some over-the-top items, one of which is his gold-plated custom-made Ferrari. He even customized a $330,000 Rolls Royce Cullinan that was gifted to him by his father, LaVar Ball.?

“Good, better, best. Never let it rest. Until your good is better and your better is best” - Tim Duncan said this once, and I took it as a sign to keep working on myself, without fail! Being a basketball player all my life, it was natural for me to eventually become an NBA writer at EssentiallySports. Being a Spurs fan, I fell in love with Duncan and McGrady for making me the fan I am today. Their dedication to their field inspired me to never give up, despite my knee surgeries. Today, as an NBA writer, I get to share my unique perspectives with the world. The fact that I actually get to write about the things that I love, especially while getting to watch them live, it something I love about my job. With San Antonio landing a cornerstone for their franchise in Wembanyama, make sure you are paying close attention to Spurs-based pieces. When I am not knee-deep into all things basketball, I am gaming. I love PUBG, NBA2K and Forza Horizon. Want to have a spirited debate on my articles? Hit me up on the links below.
