As LaMelo Ball prepares for his first taste of NBA action, one of his purchases received some scrutiny in this week.
Video of the Charlotte Hornets rookie showing off a very sparkly diamond grill started making the rounds on social media Wednesday, and the reaction was what you could imagine with one of the NBA’s most famous rookies and his infamous father.
“He’s got nice teeth, what’s he putting a grill on for? These kids are something,” LaVar Ball said. “If that’s what he wanted, that’s on him.”
The subject of the grill even came up while Ball was speaking with media during Hornets training camp, with one reporter asking if it was his first purchase with his new rookie contract.
