LaVar Ball always finds himself in the thick of media attention. From challenging Michael Jordan to ridiculing Zion Williamson, he was always there for the internet. This time, it concerns his youngest son and elder Ball’s plan to save the New York Knicks. 

LaVar has three sons whom he trusts to carry forward the legacy of the Ball family. The youngest of the pick is LaMelo Ball, who is just 18-years old. For a year, LaMelo played in the National Basketball League in Australia for the Illawarra Hawks.

LaMelo won the Rookie of the Year award in the NBL and opted out of his contract with the team, citing his reason to prepare for the 2020 NBA draft. His father had formerly spoken of where he would like his youngest cub to land. But, in much recent news, LaVar mentioned the city of New York as a perfect destination for LaMelo.

Although LaMelo is a huge prospect for this year’s draft, we are not sure about LiAngelo. He went undrafted last year, and it is a huge uncertainty if any team would pick him up. However, we do know that his workaholic dad would be pushing every team in the league to sign his sons up.
