LaMelo Ball says he didn’t look up to LeBron like Lonzo did & Bron went & posted this :troll:

What's the context of that LaMelo comment?

When Rookie of the Year front-runner LaMelo Ball takes the court against LeBron James for the first time in his young career later this week, he says he doesn't expect to feel any added excitement competing against the 18-year veteran.

"I mean, nah," Ball, 19, told reporters on a videoconference Tuesday ahead of the Charlotte Hornets' game against the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday. "I grew up a little different. Not really on basketball like that. So, not really."

"I go to every game with the same approach -- going in to try to get a win," he said.

While his older brother, New Orleans Pelicanspoint guard Lonzo Ball, modeled his game after James, looking up to the four-time MVP in his Biddy Ball days before eventually teaming up with him on the 2018-19 Lakers, the younger Ball said his basketball idol was his dad, LaVar.

"It was my pops," Ball said when asked if he had a role model the way his brother looked up to James. "So, I was big on family and stuff like that. Not really with the basketball."

Bron stans mad in this thread

 

[O.T.I.S.]

If Bron really did post that shyt because a nikka 19 years old said he wasn’t really excited to play against him and because he wasn’t really a super fan like his brother was, then

No one is mad. Lebron is just an insecure cornball just like his stains. And y’all in here proving our point

we're not talking about life though, we're talking about basketball. and really, what has lavar ball achieved? his sons had the talent. was he some successful businessman or something before they got famous?
