LiAngelo Ball has once again found himself at the center of online debate after making a confident claim about a potential return to the NBA.
The middle Ball brother, who has yet to play an official NBA game, recently stated that he feels ready to step onto the court “tomorrow” if given the opportunity.
LiAngelo’s basketball journey has been far from smooth. After spending time in the G League with the Greensboro Swarm and briefly signing a non-guaranteed deal with the Detroit Pistons.
Despite stepping away from professional basketball, LiAngelo remains confident in his abilities. His recent statement suggested that he still sees himself as NBA-ready, but many fans were quick to challenge that belief.
Social media reactions ranged from sarcastic remarks to outright dismissal, with some users pointing out that a “return” isn’t possible without ever having played in the league.
The criticism didn’t stop there. Several fans urged him to stick to music, where he has actually found success. His viral track “Tweaker” and popularity in the entertainment industry have arguably given him more recognition.
Meanwhile, his brothers continue to make headlines in the NBA. LaMelo Ball remains a key player for the Charlotte Hornets, while Lonzo Ball’s career has seen ups and downs due to injuries and team changes.
In the end, LiAngelo Ball’s confidence may be admirable, but the reaction shows that fans remain unconvinced. Whether he proves them wrong or continues building his music career.
