Thanksgiving was fairly free of trash talk for the Ball family despite Monday night’s impending matchup between brothers Lonzo and LaMelo when the Chicago Bulls host the Charlotte Hornets.
Except, of course, for LaVar Ball, the well-known and outspoken patriarch of the family.
“My dad’s always talking,” Lonzo said with a grin after the shootaround ahead of Monday’s game. “As far as me and Melo, we haven’t really said too much ... but obviously tonight we’ll match up against each other and we can’t wait.”
Lonzo will face his younger brother for the first time in a Bulls uniform, but competition is nothing new for the brothers.
