[@bquillaguyd2940]

I think I saw another mini docu-youtube video explaining Lavar crazy Training regime at young ages, didn't allow their bodies to fully develop resiliency to injuries. As normally people need a little bit more rest, and that's where Lavar flopped. His training is good, but people understimate how important is resting. And now we got three brothers who are great at basketball, but extremely injury prone.

I agree with the forward remark, but 6'3? More like 6'6! And his play style would work as a power forward! He's better than most "power forwards" under 6'6! As a shooting guard he doesn't completely fit. Maybe as a small forward he could succeed.

We were quite excited about LiAngelo joining two-time CIBACOPA champions, Astros de Jalisco, here in Mexico. Yet, there was a catch to his deal, Mexico's leagues still have some work in lots of areas around them. Gelo joined Astros for CIBACOPA, a pacific coast league, Astros plays in two different leagues here in Mexico, CIBACOPA and LNBP (Mexico's NBA). Now, the LNBP states that every team has to have both a male and female team, kinda like if every NBA had to have a WNBA counterpart. Well, the thing is that all of Astros's female team budget for the next two seasons (2024-25) went towards LiAngelo's contract, amogst other players as well, but mostly Gelo's. He played CIBACOPA's preseason tournament, but has gotten injured since and will likely return for the playoffs in May, should Astros make it. I hope he has a good run in Astros so they keep him for the LNBP season afterwards in July.

LiAngelo Ball's basketball career hasn't quite panned out like his two other brothers just yet.

He was always viewed as the best shooter of the three brothers, but didn't have the athleticism or handle the other two had.

[@mjh8492]

There's only one person to blame as the reason why LiAngelo never got to an NBA team: LaMelo Dude never plays. If he was a healthy star, like Giannis, we would've got a Thanasis vs LiAngelo endgame. This is the future. With the new NBA cap rules, a lot of teams will need to do more to recruit the right stars to come or stay. They will have to get creative including offering strategic job offerings (Leon Rose, Rick Brunson) and offering up the 15th spot on the roster. If LaMelo was healthy and top 10 you can bet LiAngelo would be right there with him.
