The budding sibling rivalry between Lonzo, LiAngelo and LaMelo Ball has been a fun, recurring them on the Ball family’s Facebook show “Ball In the Family” and this week’s episode was no exception.
During a conversation at the dinner table, the topic of LaMelo’s dunks came up and Lonzo took offense to the notion that his younger brother was as good of a dunker as he was at that age:
Lonzo: “His dunk package is not good. That was like my eighth grade dunks … little fingertip dunks.”
LaMelo called and chimed in and, to no surprise, he strongly disagreed:
Lonzo: “Aye, isn’t your dunk package like mine was in eighth grade?”
LaMelo: “No, it’s like yours junior year. ‘Cause you wasn’t dunkin’, you was just catchin’ my lobs … Every time I dunk I put my [expletive] in the rim.”
LaMelo didn’t start dunking until his sophomore season at Chino Hills High School, but now he dunks almost everything and is even taller than both of his older brothers.
He might not be the dunker Lonzo was in high school, but with enough practice and strength training, he could be a better dunker than him in the near future. If he can figure everything else out, he’ll be a great player at the next level.
