LaMelo Ball had a very good impact in the Hornets and the NBA. Ball was Rose’s number one goal in the draft, but pick number 3 went to the Hornets who didn’t miss the chance. LaVar Ball, LaMelo’s father, had said the Knicks would be the ideal team for his son.
Former Knicks point guard Jermaine Jackson runs Ball’s business as a manager.
“It would have been a phenomenal place,” Jackson told The Post from Charlotte on Monday. “That was one of the places we all wanted to go. And I played there. I know the owner James Dolan. I know the people there. It is a phenomenal place. When you win, it’s an amazing place, New York. You always want to play for the Knicks. They haven’t had it in the last couple of years lottery luck”.
