“Really Mad Inside”: While Brother’s Future Hangs in Balance, NBA Star LaMelo Ball’s Failure at Live Event Leaves NBA World in Chaos

This season, bad omens have circled the Ball brothers. On the back of an injury, LaMelo Ball had ended his season way before the Charlotte Hornets’ underwhelming campaign came to a close. His brother Lonzo Ball, on the other hand, is diagnosed with a career-threatening injury. The Bulls even doubt if Lonzo Ball is going to show up in the hardwood again. Besides, Melo has not taken center stage in the ongoing trade rumors as well. However, even amid the NBA Finals frenzy and tumultuous time, LaMelo Ball seems to have turned fans’ heads very recently.

Fans recently chanced to witness LaMelo Ball in action. Not on the NBA court, of course. But on certain courts in Europe. Ball, however, was not able to win during the action. Apparently, the NBA world is left in sheer disbelief after seeing the Hornets star’s recent failure.
