LaMelo Ball issues perfect response to Hasan Minhaj seven years after his viral ‘boarding school’ joke
LaMelo Ball is one of the biggest names in the NBA right now. The Minnesota Timberwolves superstar is one of the best in the business, but he had to work very hard to get to the position he is in right now.
LaMelo Ball, one of the NBA's premier stars, faced a humorous jab from comedian Hasan Minhaj seven years ago regarding his decision to play in Australia's National Basketball League (NBL) instead of entering the NBA directly after high school. Minhaj remarked on the NBA Awards in 2019, asserting that Ball had been "shipped to boarding school in Australia" and would never play in America's top league.
Despite this, Ball has not only made it to the NBA but has emerged as a dominant force for the Minnesota Timberwolves. In a perfect response to Minhaj's jest, the 25-year-old posted a video on Instagram. The clip begins with Minhaj's joke from seven years prior, followed immediately by a montage of Ball's stellar performance with the Timberwolves this season, demonstrating his evolution into a top-tier NBA player and proving his critics wrong.
