LaVar Ball suggests his son, LaMelo Ball would be more popular than Michael Jordan himself. After being the most spoken about NBA pick, LaMelo Ball surely has a lot to prove in the 2020-21 season. Charlotte Hornets would be hoping to break the playoff jinx on the backs of Ball. Jordan’s Hornets wanted to pick Anthony Edwards also. But as he went to Minnesota Timberwolves, it was only Ball that they could acquire. 

LaVar Ball has never shied away from talking about the MJ debate and specially after his younger son going into his franchise, he had all the more reason to do so. In a recent interview, LaVar Ball began by speaking highly of Michael Jordan signing LaMelo to the Hornets.

LaVar Ball exclaimed, “He fits into the scheme perfectly. Why? You’re under the two men who are the greatest of all time besides me. So if you don’t come to me, you got to go to Jordan and what better person to learn from? I’m not even saying to learn from. Jordan has been through those situations, so he know what my son is about.” 

LaVar was then back to his MJ-comparing self and pit his sons’ popularity against that of Jordan when he first entered the league. LaVar added, “He [LaMelo] coming into the league more popular than Jordan. Why? Oh people say why are you saying that, boy no he didn’t. Well, if Jordan was more popular than my son, he would be in Portland right now, but no, with social media, my son’s going to be more popular. The social media era, that’s what people don’t get, this ain’t the same era. So now, Jordan know what this thing is about the ride my son is about to be on.” 

Lonzo Ball on the other hand is riding high after securing the 54th rank in ESPN’s Top 100 NBA Players’ list. He shocked the fans by staying way ahead of DeMar DeRozan, who ranked #82 on the list. 

About the three Ball brothers, LaVar Ball hinted towards something crazy in his speech as he claimed, “And like I said, he [MJ] get all three of them, ooo… watch out!” Would you want to see all of them play for Hornets?
