Los Angeles Lakers point guard Lonzo Ball is just like the rest of us shoe fanatics. He wants Lakers star small forward LeBron James to hook him up with some Nike's. After all, the two are teammates and James is Nike's biggest athlete.

Ball took to his Instagram story on Monday to ask LeBron for some Nike's, and The King responded to the young Lakers guard:

It looks like James is going to take care of Ball, who is a shoe free agent after cutting ties with Big Baller Brand last month. Maybe Ball will join LeBron with Nike in the near future.

Are James and Ball even going to be teammates next season? It's currently unknown. The Lakers are expected to try and trade for New Orleans Pelicans superstar big man Anthony Davis again this summer. The Pelicans will probably ask for Ball, Brandon Ingram, Kyle Kuzma and the fourth overall pick in the 2019 NBA Draft.

In the meantime, though, James and Ball will continue their offseason as teammates. LeBron has said he's a big fan of Ball's game and happy that Lonzo is taking care of his personal stuff off the court in terms of leaving Big Baller Brand and suing co-founder Alan Foster.

With all the negative press surrounding the Lakers lately, it's nice to see Ball and James are enjoying their summer and staying away from all the drama.
