Injured NBA players always have plenty of spare time, especially those who play on teams that rarely make the playoffs.
That’s why it’s not unusual to see LaMelo Ball having some hours to spare at this time of the season.
All jokes aside, the Charlotte Hornets star has never been to the playoffs and, even worse, he has played less than 60 games combined in the last two seasons.
LaMelo Ball’s tattoo artist(s) shared his new backpiece.

That’s why the fans were completely ruthless to him when the Hornets’ Reddit account took to Twitter to showcase his new massive back tattoo.
That would look dope on someone that had a really really tough upbringing….

lamelo should spend more time on ball than fashion and tattoos… i like him but imo i would trade him for AD straight up and sign claxton and tyus jones in FA — draft reed sheppard at point — clax, AD, miles, miller, reed or tyus is very solid in the east

The fans called him out for spending more time worried about fashion and tattoos than basketball.
Of course, no one wants to be hurt all the time, and it’s not like Ball has gotten injured on purpose during his NBA career.
More than just his status, the Hornets desperately need a culture turnaround, as it doesn’t seem like their players are focused on basketball at all.
LaMelo is one of the most talented young players in the league, and the game is always more entertaining when he’s out there on the floor.
Hopefully, that will be the case next season and going forward.
