Nick Adams regularly tweets his opinions on the world of sports, as well as politics. This time, he chose to attack the Ball Brothers in the NBA.

Nick Adams claims that, “The NBA would be better off without LaMelo and Lonzo Ball.” He further went on to say that, “The Ball family as a whole represents everything wrong with America today.”
