LaMelo Ball, who played professionally in Lithuania last season, is (somehow?) returning to high school and says he wants to play for Kentucky or another top program.
Supposedly (I’m sure the Ball family would tell the truth), LaMelo didn’t actually accept any money while playing professional basketball. Now he’s heading to SPIRE Institute in on northern Ohio.

LaVar Ball says his son is “the most special, most famous high school player ever.” He even took a little jab at LeBron James, who happens to be Lonzo Ball’s teammate in Los Angeles:
LaVar Ball tells WKYC that LaMelo is the most special, most famous high school player ever. Noted that LeBron wasn’t known overseas in high school like LaMelo is.

This isn’t going to end well and please keep the Ball family out of Kentucky.
Please…make it stop:
