The Ball frenzy has officially hit Lituania in full force. This continued on Friday when the two youngest brothers, LiAngelo Ball and LaMelo Ball, were introduced during their first press conference as members of the professional club Vytautas Prienu with the Lithuanian media.
During the press conference, a female Lithuanian reporter by the name of Evelina Pavliukovic asked LiAngelo a question that caught him quite off guard. She wanted to know if he would go out on a date with her.
“I just came here to play,” LiAngelo said before he began chuckling.
When further pressed by Pavliukovic about whether the 19-year-old had a current girlfriend or not, LiAngelo needed only four words.
“No comment on that,” he said in response to Pavliukovic.
A video of the hilarious press conference encounter, which was shared on Twitter by user Thomas Duffy, can be viewed in all of its glory below.

When it comes to the reaction of LiAngelo's father and Big Baller Brand founder LaVar Ball, he can barely contain his laughter. Another tweet from Jeff Goodman of ESPN showed Pavliukovic, who is the brunette reporter at the center of the photo.

A few hours after the press conference was over, LiAngelo took to Twitter to address the whole situation. He reiterated that playing basketball was his main priority when it comes to his stay in Lithuania.

You've got to at least really admire this woman's honesty and determination, though. You do miss 100 percent of the shots you don't take, am I right?
