It may have come as a surprise to some when Michael Jordan’s team drafted LaMelo Ball in the 2020 NBA Draft. This shouldn’t shock anyone, as Jordan wants to win as much as anyone, and LaMelo was clearly the best option to pick.

For LaMelo, he has spoken highly of playing for Jordan, telling NBA reporter Shams Charania that playing for Jordan is “amazing.”

“Having him as an owner, there’s not a lot of them out there. How many Black owners we got, for real?”
