LaMelo Ball has been considered as the next big star since his early teens. By the time, he had turned 13, he had already agreed a college basketball deal with UCLA. However, he didn’t get to play college basketball. In fact, he didn’t get to complete his high school basketball career as his father felt he would be better off starting his professional career early.
