NBA fans are reacting to a viral clip of LaMelo Ball and Lonzo Ball talking about their days at Chino Hills. The older Ball brothers, who are currently playing in the league, seemed pretty nostalgic as they spoke about their old days, leaving many fans speculating about how things could have gone differently for them.
Some fans even wondered what NIL deals for the brothers could have done, considering their brand-worthy tags. While the two older brothers continue to rock it on the court, LiAngelo Ball has taken a different path as a rapper under the name ‘GELO.’
“LaMelo and Lonzo reminiscing on the Chino Hills days, talking gameday routines and more ahead of Cavs-Hornets (teary-eyed emoji)” ESPN tweeted, sharing the adorable clip of the two baller brothers taking a trip down memory lane.

“Imagine NIL for the ball brothers. Would have been insane numbers,” one fan said.
“This hits harder knowing how much Lonzo’s body has been through. Just seeing him smile around the game feels like a win.” another fan remarked.
“Full circle moment, two brothers remembering where it all started while still chasing it at the highest level (teary-eyed emoji)” one more fan stated.
NBA Fans Love Lonzo Ball & LaMelo Ball’s Brotherhood
NBA fans are clearly in love with all the brotherly affection that Lonzo Ball and LaMelo Ball have for each other. The Ball brothers showed plenty of this during the interview where they even spoke about their current gameday routines.
“LaMelo when they ask about facing Lonzo: ‘Just him coming to town…chill, come to the crib, play the game and sh*t’ (crying emoji) Lonzo interviews be like: serious Huey Freeman stare ‘Gotta lock in, stay quiet, edge on the opponent’” one fan admired.
“Ah, the mandatory ‘remember when we were kids and didn’t have massive contracts?’ interview segment. I bet their gameday routines now involve significantly less arguing over who gets the last Pop-Tart,” another fan joked.
“lamelo not being able to control himself from cursing stops him from being a superstar…along with playing like a**,” another frustrated fan wrote about LaMelo Ball’s poor performance.
Eventually, Lonzo Ball and the Cavaliers managed to dominate the Hornets. Lonzo himself did not play in that game, while LaMelo chalked up a couple of points on the board for the Hornets. Meanwhile, LiAngelo Ball is yet to put out a new track after his debut song ‘Tweaker.’
