The state of Ohio moved on quickly from LeBron James. Now there are billboards of LaMelo Ball near Quicken Loans Arena after news broke that Lonzo Ball's younger brother decided to enroll at Spire Academy in Ohio:

The billboard was put up by the sports company Overtime to welcome LaMelo to his new home. An email from Overtime clarifies exactly why they decided to put up the billboard:
“Last night, our company Overtime put up a billboard welcoming LaMelo Ball to Ohio.
Today is LaMelo's first day in Ohio after announcing earlier this week that he's enrolling at Spire Academy to finish his senior year of high school.
LaMelo is famous for his father pulling him out of high school, touring him around Europe to play in his own league, and then suddenly announcing that he’s returning to high school. Overtime has covered LaMelo throughout his career, generating millions of views for videos of him. So we thought it would be pretty epic to celebrate his return to high school with a billboard, playing on another famous Cleveland billboard.
The billboard is right on I90, by West 3rd Street, just minutes from Quicken Loans Arena.”
It's safe to say that the Ball family knows how to make an entrance. After LaVar ball took sons LaMelo and LiAngelo overseas to play in Lithuania, LaMelo is returning to give high school another shot. He's enrolling in Spire Academy and already making headlines. His new coach Jermaine Jones has already said that LaMelo could be the first overall pick one day, per TMZ.
LaMelo's return to high school is generating headlines, but that's nothing out of the ordinary for the Ball family.
