LaVar Ball was determined that his sons would become basketball stars. He helped them excel, leading all three to the NBA. Lonzo began with the Lakers and now plays for the Chicago Bulls, while LaMelo remains the top star for the Charlotte Hornets.

LiAngelo, however, faced challenges, going undrafted in 2018 and mainly playing in the G-League. Still, he has found success elsewhere and is on his way to proving his father right, though in a different manner than his brothers.
