LaMelo Ball just turned 20 years old. Yes, some people might forget that he’s not even allowed to drink alcohol yet. That’s how impressive he has been in his first year in the NBA.
The reigning Rookie of the Year has helped transform the Charlotte Hornets into one of the more exciting teams in the NBA. LaMelo and company almost squeezed into the NBA Playoffs last season with a young roster. Despite being just a teenager, he embraced a leadership role, maturing quickly for his age.
LaMelo received thousands of well-wishers on his birthday on Saturday, but he revealed his one true wish on his Twitter account.
