LaMelo Ball To Hornets Has Twitter Making LaVar Ball-Michael Jordan Joke

LaMelo Ball is headed to the Michael Jordan-owned Charlotte Hornets.

It means his father, LaVar Ball, likely will come into close contact with the NBA legend, who he claimed he would’ve beat one-on-one.

Those were the comments from the loudmouth father back in 2017, remember? It seems Twitter hasn’t forgotten.

So, following the Hornets drafting the youngest of the three Ball sons No. 3 overall in the 2020 NBA Draft on Wednesday, many took to social media clamoring for the long-awaited one-on-one matchup.

LaMelo Ball to Charlotte which means we should be able to finally settle the "debate" on who would win a game of one-on-one between Michael Jordan and LaVar Ball.
