In a recent interview with TMZ’s Metta World Peace and Master P, LaVar Ball stated, “LaMelo Ball would be perfect for New York. He’d be perfect. You know why I say that? Because he from New York, he’s a point guard. Please pick my son first (in the draft). If he’s over there and getting my other two sons with Mark Jackson, he’s going to do the same thing he did in Golden State with my boys.” Will we see the three 'Ball Brothers' in New York playing for the Knicks next season?
