Some hate them, some adore them, but all should appreciate the dissimilarity the Ball family has brought to the sports-world table.
I don’t recall ever there being another athlete, let alone family, who has generated such a media buzz, especially considering they haven’t entirely proven themselves.
The eldest brother, Lonzo, has had somewhat of a contradictory start to his NBA career with the Lakers. Lonzo’s been jumping back and forth between bust and baller. Sometimes he’s shut-out, sometimes he looks like who fans expected to see coming out of UCLA.
Ball was particularly impressive in the Lakers’ loss to Milwaukee Saturday, as he surpassed LeBron James as the youngest player in NBA history to record a triple-double.
