LiAngelo Ball's brother Lonzo Ball reveals the artist side of rapper brother

LiAngelo Ball has so far failed to get himself a spot in the NBA. However, it seems like the second son of LaVar Ball might be ready to switch his career from the basketball court to the music industry.

According to Ball's elder brother Lonzo Ball, LiAngelo's approach to music is similar to his approach to basketball. The Chicago Bulls star dropped big praise on LiAngelo, highlighting his focus when he hit the booth.

"He raps like how he hoops,"Ball said. "He trying to get 30 every game. When he comes to the booth, he really just wants to make whatever songs he's got on his phone. And don't p*ss him off. Cause he actually will walk out of the session."

"I've seen him do it before. Let him get out whatever he wants to get out, it's his art." (6:55)

All the Ball brothers are currently doing well for themselves. Lonzo Ball is finally in the Bulls' starting lineup after a two-season gap, LaMelo Ball is set to make his second All-Star appearance and LiAngelo Ball recently signed a $13 million record deal with Def Jam.
