Typically, the NBA Summer League is headlined by the top rookies in that year’s draft class.
This summer, that remains true but LiAngelo Ball has become one of the spectacles in Las Vegas this year.
Through two games with the Charlotte Hornets SL team, Ball is averaging 13 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 2.0 steals per game on 50% shooting from the floor and 50% from 3-point range.
In Sunday’s loss to the Trail Blazers, Ball scored 16 points on 5-of-8 from downtown. Following one of those hits from behind the arc, LaVar Ball, sitting court side, jumped up in celebration for his son.
Check out LaVar’s reaction below in the video posted by NBA Summer League’s Twitter.
