LaMelo Ball has been circulating around the internet for months over he is possibly dating or shooting his shot at.
After an outstanding rookie campaign, LaMelo is back in the news this week after social media users spotted him shooting his shot off the court on an Instagram Live with Chantel Jeffries.
Jeffries is most known for once dating Justin Bieber during the first half of 2014, and was with him in his rented Lamborghini when he was arrested for drunk driving and drag racing in Miami that January. They would rekindle their relationship briefly in mid-2016.
Ball, 20, is one of three finalists for Rookie of the Year, joining Minnesota’s Anthony Edwards and Sacramento’s Tyrese Haliburton. Ball, who averaged 15.7 points, 5.9 rebounds and 6.1 assists per game, is considered the front-runner for the award.
He missed 21 games with a broken wrist in a season that ended with the Hornets finishing 10th in the NBA Eastern Conference and losing to the Indiana Pacers in a play-in game.
Jeffries has a successful career as an Instagram model who boasts over 4.7 million followers.
