The latest big news from the Basketball Ball's is that dad Lonzo is pulling youngest son LaMelo out of high school because he has issues with his Chino Hills High coach.
The 16-year old is already committed to UCLA for 2019 and will surely continue to play AAU ball, so the gambit isn't likely to have a big effect on his long-term future.
Nevertheless, Twitter is having all sorts of fun with the latest Ball Family drama

Not giving a shit if LaMelo's BBB kicks violate his amateur status then this. Melo ain't going to UCLA. He's going to China. https://t.co/jFyZS20Prv

The saddest part of LaMelo Ball not playing HS ball again is that we won't get to see his brilliant passing skills. pic.twitter.com/XVxlxTZmKn
