LaVar Ball: 'They're Not' Going to Name LaMelo MVP Unless Hornets Make the NBA Finals

LaVar Ball has never shied away from setting the expectations bar high for his sons, and he believes LaMelo can make NBA history.

"Do I think he can win it? No. I know he can win it," he told TMZ Sports when talking about the possibility the Charlotte Hornets star could capture the NBA MVP award.

Doing so this season would make Ball the youngest to win the coveted award at 20 years old. Then-Chicago Bulls point guard Derrick Rose won it for the 2010-11 season at 22 years old.

However, LaVar added a caveat.
