LiAngelo Ball announced the name of his son-to-be: LaVelo Ball.
It’s an exciting summer for the Ball family that has given us two top-three picks in the NBA Draft over the last seven years. LiAngelo Ball hasn’t made it to the NBA just yet but is going to be the second brother to become a father.
LiAngelo’s wife Nikki Mudarris revealed on Instagram that their son will be named LaVelo Ball, keeping the family naming custom of the child’s initials being LV. The name also seems to be a fusion of LiAngelo’s younger brother LaMelo and his father LaVar.
“LaVelo, we can’t wait to meet you. You’re so loved.”
They also wrote sweet captions expressing their excitement and love for their son. “LaVelo, we can’t wait to meet you. You’re so loved,” Nikki wrote.
According to sources close to the couple, LiAngelo reportedly chose the name LaVelo because he wanted to pay tribute to his father, LaVar, who has been very supportive of his basketball career and his personal life. He also wanted to show his admiration for his brother LaMelo, who had a breakout season with the Charlotte Hornets, averaging 23.3 points and 8.4 assists per game this season.
