High school basketball player LaMelo Ball, last seen calling his shot from half
court, scored 92 points tonight. Ball is the youngest brother of
UCLA star Lonzo, and he’s currently a high school sophomore at Chino Hills HS
(Ca). Chino Hills had a 60-game winning streak going until they lost on Sunday
to Oak Hill, and Ball took it out on poor Los Osos High tonight. Middle Ball
brother LiAngelo, a UCLA-bound senior, sat out tonight with an ankle injury and
it was open season for LaMelo.

LaMelo Ball,
the younger brother of UCLA’s star freshman Lonzo Ball, scored 92 points — 41
in the fourth quarter — to help Chino Hills beat Los Osos 146-123 on Tuesday
night.
He only
had 29 points at half-time. He made 37 of 61 shots from the floor, including
seven of 22 from behind the three-point line, hit 11 of 14 free throws and had
seven assists and five rebounds.
Their
other brother, LiAngelo, who leads Chino Hills in scoring, sat out because of
an ankle injury. LaMelo and LiAngelo are both committed to UCLA like Lonzo, who
is projected to be a top-five pick in the 2017 NBA draft.
All three brothers were
on the Chino Hills team that beat De La Salle in the CIF Open Division state
championship game in March.
Chino Hills (26-1) had
won 60 straight games before losing to Oak Hill Academy last Saturday — in
which LaMelo scored 36 points.
Lonzo tweeted: “Well I
mean that’s one way to bounce back after a loss … I see you lil bro.”
LaMelo took the internet by storm last year when a video of him pulling up from halfcourt and draining the shot went viral.
Could LaMelo Ball be the next Stephen Curry?
