Michael Jordan’s Charlotte Hornets had one of their worst regular season performances once again. The team finished in the second-last position in the Eastern Conference. And if that wasn?t enough, the Hornets also missed out on the opportunity to draft French sensation Victor Wembanyama in the upcoming NBA draft. However, fans seem to be livider over a Hornets star’s latest purchase.
NBA players often buy ludicrous items when they start making big bucks off their salaries. And this 21-year-old’s most recent possession may have been nothing different as fans slam Michael Jordan?s young star.

The Charlotte Hornets finished the NBA season with a 27-55 loss-win record. The Hornets also sustained an injury to their lead scorer, LaMelo Ball, in the latter half of the season.
If there was any hope for the Hornets, that too went out the window when the San Antonio Spurs got the number one pick in the upcoming 2023 NBA draft. While Hornets fans may be punching the air for missing out on drafting Victor Wembanyama, some fans could not stand LaMelo Ball?s latest custom-made accessory.
Ball purchased a diamond-studded timepiece. Ball has a habit of purchasing some over-the-top items, one of which is his gold-plated custom-made Ferrari. He even customized a $330,000 Rolls Royce Cullinan that was gifted to him by his father, LaVar Ball.?
While the customizations on his multiple cars usually get appreciated, the majority of the fans were not on board with his custom-made watch by designer Zo Frost.
Fans slam Michael Jordan’s young star
LaMelo Ball could be considered one of the flashiest players in the league. He often wears gawdy clothing that manages to go with his style. But the personalization he made to his new watch was not appreciated by fans.
One fan tweeted, ?Thats horrendous.?
