The Charlotte Hornets and their centerpiece LaMelo Ball have not come anywhere near the ongoing post-season. Moreover, not many trade rumors are revolving around Ball. Nonetheless, Melo has recently become a talk of the town in the hoops world. The 21-year-old is now on a European tour. During the outing, the baller has surprised hoops buffs by participating in a live shooting contest. Turns out, Ball is not alone for the trip. His 33-year-old girlfriend has also accompanied him to Europe.

Soon after Ball’s shooting contest went viral on the web, he has now hit the Internet with ‘couplegoals’ from the European outing. The star couple, however, has given way to mockery from the NBA fans with their recent antic.

On the court, LaMelo Ball has had an underwhelming season. His side, has failed to come up with a promising run.

Moreover, the 21-year-old has time and again been scrutinized for dating someone who is 12 years older than him.
