The NBA career of Charlotte Hornets‘ franchise leader LaMelo Ball has been a tough one. Despite having the potential and skills to dominate the league, the 22-year-old often found himself at the bottom of the points table. However, one thing that hasn’t faded away for the star is his fandom. One of them is singer Drake’s son Adonis Graham. Almost every loyal fan would know the history behind the idol-fan relationship between Melo and Adonis. And, the Hornets star took it up a notch with a grand gesture.
The God’s Plan singer had a long-term relationship with Nike, and famously once said “Checks over Stripes”. With these collaborations, he has dropped his shoe lines. Amid this situation, he once dropped a picture of his son wearing Ball x Puma MB.02s on his IG story, leaving the baller in ecstasy. Following that, he has made multiple surprises for Adonis. However, the recent one seemed to be a grand gesture.

Hornets star LaMelo Ball has already impressed the youth through his fashion statement in the league. The star recently dropped a video of him explaining the specifics of the sneaker that he would collaborate with his dad LaVar Ball’s company, Big Baller Brand. These instances have found a place in the youth’s heart.
Adonis Graham is one of them. After Drake dropped the image of Adonis wearing his signature shoe, MB.02s on a basketball court, Ball took his X handle, formerly known as Twitter, to express his happiness. He shared the same picture and wrote, “Tuff,” and in another tweet shared by Puma, he wrote, “We UUUUPPPP!!!!.”
In return, he has reciprocated his love with a grand gesture. Ball and Puma dropped their collaboration sneaker, MB.03’s, which is yet to be released. However, a recent social media upload revealed a glimpse of the sneaker, and it was a massive surprise for Adonis. One of the pair had ‘Adonis’ written on its tongue. Here is the picture of the sneakers.
