Yes, you have expectations, but we really count on your potential to be showcased in front of us, so you’ve earned our respect, and I think he (Ball) has done that. He’s been doing that for the past few years. I’m glad he’s healthy this year and able to show the world who he is.”

Kyrie Irving believes in LaMelo Ball

The Ball family is one of the most popular families in all of sports. LaVar, the father, made extremely bold predictions for his sons before they even entered the NBA. All three succeeded, but in different ways.

Kyrie Irving believes LaMelo Ball’s family played a key role in helping the Hornets guard gain real confidence.

“He’s got a good pedigree, man,” Irving said. “He comes from a family that has professionals. You know, Lonzo (Ball) helped him a lot. Obviously playing with Gel (LiAngelo Ball), also. They’ve got a tight group, I feel like that’s led to him being confident as a young player, playing against older guys and having his brothers beat him up a bit. I’m happy for him, proud of him.”

LaMelo Ball is becoming one of the best players in the NBA. Veteran stars like Kyrie Irving are noticing his steady improvement.

“(I) just want to continue to see him be successful,” Irving continued. “Obviously not so much against us.” But yeah, man, I want to see that young guy reach his potential even more, to answer a lot of the doubters who say “you can’t win” or things like that. You have to deal with it a bit as a young player. He acted with grace. He’s just showing us who he is, man. I’m proud of him.”
