If you did not know about him, Ball dropped an incredible 92 points in one game of high school. That included 41 points in the 4th quarter alone.

These are INSANE numbers to be putting up in any type of competitive game. Now LaMelo Ball has gone around the world playing professionally in two different countries. Additionally, he has even branded his own shoe – all before even entering the NBA.

Ball has recently come into the spotlight after stepping away from his family’s Big Baller Brand to sign a deal with PUMA worth roughly one hundred million dollars. An unheard-of feat without yet being drafted into the NBA.

The slogan that he is trying to make his own is “NOT FROM HERE.” Ball explained that it means he is a one of a kind person – just like anyone else that will wear his clothes in the future.

There is nobody else like him and LaMelo Ball wants other athletes to think of themselves that way too.

This “Not From Here” mindset also comes from his time spent in professional leagues overseas. Here, people with little basketball knowledge will think he is a foreigner trying to make it big in the NBA. But, Ball was born and raised with his brothers in California.

Melo is a current contender for the number one pick in the upcoming NBA Draft on November 18th, 2020.

This same date has also been announced by PUMA to be the official drop of LaMelo Ball merchandise. This will almost certainly add to the hype surrounding him on draft day. 

Reportedly, his father LaVar Ball is not very happy, but LaMelo is just doing what he feels is best for him.

His fans however, are all extremely excited for Draft Day and the launch of Melo’s merchandise.
