Charlotte Hornets star LaMelo Ball is the youngest brother of Lonzo and LiAngelo.

The family got a lot of attention back in 2017 due to their father, LaVar Ball, making bold statements about his sons.

Lonzo and LiAngelo have a podcast (WAE Show), and a recent clip got a lot of attention on social media.

LiAngelo (h/t Overtime): "My dad taught me how to drive at 11 years old. 12 years old I’m driving me and Melo to school."

“My dad taught me how to drive at 11 years old. 12 years old I’m driving me and Melo to school.”

The Ball brothers been solid since day 1
