Chicago Bulls guard Lonzo Ball has a message for his younger brother.
The Ball brothers have been in the spotlight since their time at Chino Hills high school. While Lonzo Ball is still with the Chicago Bulls and LaMelo Ball is starring for the Charlotte Hornets, LiAngelo Ball never reached the NBA.
Getting a G League and Summer League opportunity with the Hornets, LiAngelo showed flashes of ability, but that did not translate to an NBA opportunity. Getting brutally honest with his brother during an episode of Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese’s podcast, Lonzo said LiAngelo should go oversees. “I feel like the opportunity is not gonna be the same in the G League for him,” Lonzo said. “Just because of his process and how long it's been. Just being realistic. I'm his big brother, I gotta tell him the truth. You know what I'm saying? I think his path is overseas. He should have been overseas killing it."
