Los Angeles Lakers point guard Lonzo Ball is quite the supportive brother.
The Lakers point guard feels his two younger siblings, LiAngelo and LaMelo, did the right thing in signing contracts with a Lithuanian professional basketball team. The Balls discussed the decision as a group, Ball said, and everyone was on board, per Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.
Lonzo Ball says his brothers, LiAngelo and LaMelo, heading to play pro ball in Lithuania is “a good decision.” “We talked about it as a family,” Ball said. “Wishing them the best over there.” When asked if 16-year-old LaMelo will be OK overseas at such a young age, Ball said, “as long as he's playing basketball, he'll be fine. They're not going by themselves, they'll be people over there with them.”
One thing is clear about the Ball family. No decisions are made unless it gets every member's seal of approval.
It's a tight-knit situation, and that should help LiAngelo and LaMelo in Lithuania, even if they will go through struggles while over there.
While the two younger Ball brothers have redirected LaVar's plans to have them go to UCLA, this is still in line with the father's thinking. He wants all of his players to reach the NBA one way or another. It may be a little unorthodox, but it's working so far. All of his sons play professionally now.
