Everyone wants LaVar Ball to pick a favorite, but his answer to who the best Ball brother is comes down to what trait you're looking for.
The Big Baller Brand circus seems like ancient history now, but it all started back at Chino Hills High, where Lonzo, LiAngelo, and LaMelo went 35-0 and completely took over basketball culture.
Fast forward to today, and the brothers are living totally different lives. LaMelo is an established NBA star who just moved to Minnesota. Lonzo is a free agent after being waived and Gelo has traded in his sneakers for a microphone and signed a record deal with Def Jam.
However, there's always been the debate over the best Ball brother is, ever since the Chino Hill days.
LaVar Ball recently took to The LaVar Ball Show to clear the air on his sons in an episode with Dwight Howard.
Never one to hold back, he broke down exactly what sets Lonzo, LiAngelo, and LaMelo apart, giving an unfiltered look at who excels at scoring, who leads, and who brings the entertainment.
He said: "Melo is the best at entertaining for my boys. Lonzo is the best leader. Gelo is the best scorer. They always ask me who the best who the best. I'm just telling you scoring wise Gelo be the best. Leading wise Lonzo the best. But entertaining win or lose, we're going to watch Melo and everywhere he goes, they go from sugar to s*** real quick."
It comes as a slight surprise to hear of LiAngelo's shooting qualities, considering he never really proved it during his time in the G League.
He never appeared in an official NBA regular season game, and over two G League stints primarily with the Greensboro Swarm, he played limited minutes, averaging 4.4 points and 1.1 rebounds in roughly 12 minutes per game while shooting around 36% from three.
