LaMelo Ball unquestionably features the ceiling of an NBA superstar. The former first round pick has endured difficulty staying healthy, however. Ball is hoping to stay healthy and take a step forward during the 2025-26 NBA season. He is still only 24 years old, but Ball has only earned one All-Star selection through his five years in the league. During a recent episode of his podcast, Bill Simmons made an interesting comment about Ball's upcoming campaign.

"LaMelo Ball is gonna try to be healthy and is at a fork in the road, what the h*ll are you season," Simmons said.
