LaMelo Ball is one of the most popular players in the NBA.
The 2022 All-Star is coming off a season in which he averaged 23.9 points, 5.1 rebounds, 8.0 assists and 1.8 steals per game while shooting 43.3 percent from the field and 35.5 percent from three-point range in 22 games.
Right now, the only thing that seems to be holding him back is his health.
Ball has over 10 million followers on Instagram (which is one of the most in the NBA).
He recently published a video that had over 60,000 likes and 200 comments in less than 24 hours.
Ball captioned his post: โLaMelo Tour was awesome ๐บ๐ฝ๐ธ๐โ
The only person to leave a comment was his former teammate Terry Rozier.
Rozier wrote: โDipster ๐ค๐พโ
Rozier was teammates with Ball for parts of four seasons before being traded to the Miami Heat midway through last season.
Even though the Hornets weren’t a good team, they had a talented rearguard capable of scoring a lot of points on any given night.
