Social Media Reacts To LaMelo Ball Not Being Excited At All About Facing LeBron (VIDEO + TWEETS)

The No. 3 overall pick in the 2020 NBA draft is turning some heads.

LaMelo Ball might be the best Ball family member in the NBA and he’s only in his first season with the Charlotte Hornets.

The youngest Ball brother was recently asked about his excitement on facing LeBron James for the first time, and this is what he had to say:

“I mean, nah,” Ball, 19, told reporters on a videoconference Tuesday ahead of the Charlotte Hornets’ game against the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday. “I grew up a little different. Not really on basketball like that. So, not really.”

“I go to every game with the same approach — going in to try to get a win,” he said.
