Hornets star LaMelo Ball received a custom 17-carat diamond pendant from Puma -- celebrating his first All-Star appearance -- and we're told the pendant is worth $80k!!
TMZ Sports has learned Puma hit up renowned jeweler Jason of Beverly Hills in L.A. ...and asked him to create the super-flashy piece of bling for Ball to rock at ASW.
Of course, Ball is signed to Puma ... so when news broke 20-year-old Ball was selected to play in the game in Cleveland they wanted to make sure LaMelo showed up and showed out all weekend.
