LiAngelo Ball Says He Can Play NBA
LiAngelo Ball says he still feels ready for an NBA shot, even though music is now his main career. Ball, who performs as Gelo and signed with Def Jam after “Tweaker” went viral, told Erik Anderson of Heavy that he could start working out and playing “tomorrow” if a team called. Ball says he stays sharp by playing with his brothers and NBA players when they’re home. He also told teams he’d bring scoring, defense, and a willingness to do whatever helps win. His pro basketball stops have come in the G League, Lithuania, and Mexico's CIBACOPA, with no NBA games yet.
🧙♂️ Merlin’s Prediction
Gelo keeps making music, but he’ll still be ready if a training camp invite ever comes.
