Harlem Globetrotter To LiAngelo & LaMelo: “Come to the Globetrotters! Forget Lithuania!”

You probably have heard that Lonzo Ball’s brothers, LiAngelo and LaMelo, have signed professional contracts with Lithuanian team Prienu Vytautas. In becoming professional players, both ended their NCAA eligibility. According to club president Prienu Vytautas, the brothers will report to the club in early January.

Harlem Globetrotters Cheese Chisholm and Jet Rivers now offered a backup plan for the two Balls, if things don’t work out in Lithuania. TMZ Sports asked the two Globetrotters about the Ball brothers:

Chisholm: “I hope they have a great season, man. I hope they both average 20 [points per game] because it’s good for the culture.”

TMZ Sports: And if it doesn’t work out?

Chisholm: Come to the Globetrotters! Yeah, either way. Or come here first. Forget Lithuania!
