LaVar Ball claims LaMelo is secretly unhappy about bench role with Hornets

LaMelo Ball has had a new role with the Charlotte Hornets this season by coming off the bench. With his short stint in Lithuania set aside, Ball has never come off the bench dating back to his time in Chino Hills.

Ball has not shown any sign of discontent with his role this season. However, in an interview with TMZ on Saturday, LaVar Ball claimed his youngest son is unhappy as a non-starter.

“…He ain’t happy with that but he ain’t going to show that. If I train you to be the best and you’ve been starting all your life, here’s what they don’t get, my boys are not freaking role players.
