LaMelo Ball says he’s a better player than Lonzo Ball

Last week, Charlotte Hornets star LaMelo Ball blessed the cover of GQ Magazine.

In the interview, Ball spoke on his journey to the NBA and his imminent stardom.

Released in tandem with the interview, Ball went undercover on social media via the GQ Sports YouTube page to answer fans questions. During the 6:55 video, one question stood out: Is LaMelo Ball better than Lonzo Ball, or is his playstyle just drastically different?

“I’m gonna go with LaMelo Ball is better. It’s just a fact — that’s it,” LaMelo said when asked who is better between him and his brother, Lonzo.

LaMelo, who won the 2021 NBA Rookie of the Year, averaged 15.7 points, 5.9 rebounds, 6.1 assists, and 1.6 steals per game on 35.2% from 3-point range.

“Playstyle, different? I mean, we got some similarities but then, we also got a lot of differences. I think the difference is, I’m better.”
