LiAngelo and LaMelo Ball are Looking at Playing Overseas
December 13, 2017
LiAngelo Ball and Lamelo Ball have just signed with agent Harrison Gaines to play on the same professional team overseas. Gaines is currently the agent of Los Angeles Lakers rookie, Lonzo Ball. Teams from Europe and Asia have shown interest in signing the two Ball brothers.
LaVar Ball said, “[They’re] not going to play college basketball.”
Harrison Gaines has been discussing contract options with several overseas basketball clubs. LaVar Ball doesn’t know the deals yet, and is letting Gaines take care of that.
If the two Ball Brothers are going to go to an overseas basketball team, they will have plenty of company following them.
LaVar Ball said, “There will be three people with them all the time. I’ll go back and forth and probably stay out there a while at first.”
With the Ball brothers possibly playing in different continents, the sports media will most likely be kept busy for the remainder of the year.
Update: LiAngelo and LaMelo Ball have signed with a professional Lithuanian club, Prienu Vytautas.
According to Wael Saghir of theScore.com, “Players in the Baltic Basketball League generally don’t earn more than $500 per month to play, if they receive compensation at all.”
Now that LiAngelo and LaMelo Ball are taking their skills to Lithuania, Lonzo Ball will be left alone with his dad in America.
