LaMelo Ball loves the kids. This was clearly evident after cameras caught LaMelo having a touching moment with a very young fan who was wearing his Chino Hills High School jersey.

Prior to tonight’s Charlotte Hornets versus Orlando Magic game, LaMelo was sitting down when it was brought to his attention of the young fan and his father. The pair had matching jerseys, and LaMelo was tickled by the sight.
