The odds are that at some point during the next NBA season, point guard LaMelo Ball will dribble up the floor and find himself matched up against the most familiar of familiar faces – older brother, Lonzo. The hype surrounding the first meeting between Ball brothers probably will circulate for days on social media, with the siblings trying everything in their power to downplay its significance. That process already began Monday, when the 19-year-old LaMelo said of facing 22-year-old Lonzo, “I look at everything the same. It’s just another game.”
The younger Ball is projected to be a high-lottery pick, listed in NBA.
