Michael Jordan and the Charlotte Hornets have been involved with the Ball family for a while now. Drafting their second son in 2020, the franchise finally seems like it has a must-see prospect. With a young core and a top pick in a loaded 2023 draft, the future looks bright for the team. While LaVar tries to bring all 3 of his sons into the league, his youngest son, LiAngelo is welcoming a kid into the world. The news became official with an Instagram post by the couple from the baby shower. Named LaVelo, the youngin comes into a family full of NBA talents.
While Lonzo is forever going to be held to unfair, “Steph Curry with a 40-inch vertical,” standards, he has become a solid PG. As LiAngelo continues to make an impact in the G-league, a callup might be imminent. The star of the family, however, has been LaMelo Ball. A stalwart of Jordan’s franchise, LaMelo is quickly developing into a star attraction. But, is the Ball legacy going into someone else’s hands?

Lonzo Ball’s career in jeopardy
One of the most promising recruits from college, Lonzo Ball has had a tumultuous time in the NBA. While he has refined his skills, to the point where Paul George called him the best PG in the game, his future remains uncertain. Ball has missed close to 2 years with injuries and setbacks.

As per the latest reports, his playing days might be over. His employer, the Chicago Bulls, certainly thinks so. As Zo developed a niche for himself, tragedy struck and the young star has been out of action ever since. We hope the baby LaVelo brings some luck to the family, and the apparent heir can be a blessing for Uncle Zo.
