LaMelo Ball is one of the most fun players to watch in the NBA.
The Minnesota Timberwolves superstar has had an incredible start to the season, and some of the shots he has pulled off have been incredible to see.
Ball’s teammate, Ayo Dosunmu, has now shed some light on what the 25-year-old is actually like behind the scenes.
Are the Timberwolves going over/under 48.5 wins, and why?

Ayo Dosunmu says he has never seen anyone like LaMelo Ball
One of the first things people usually say about Ball is that he is ‘too chill’.
Dosunmu has heard that several times, but he wants to tell everyone that his Minnesota Timberwolves teammate is actually very serious about the game.
Despite being a superstar and worth an absolute fortune, Ball apparently asks more questions in practice than anyone else to improve his game.
That seems to have surprised Dosunmu, as he had never seen anyone do the above.

Speaking about people’s perception that “LaMelo is too chill,” he wrote in The Players’ Tribune: “Bro, let me tell you something about LaMelo.
“He’s more curious about the game of basketball than anybody I’ve ever seen at his level. How many guys who are worth $300 million are still asking questions every day in practice?
“He’s worth $300 million, and he’s trying to learn and get better every day.”
That mentality is exactly what separates a good player from a great one, and it is no surprise to see Ball perform so well since the start of the season.
With Anthony Edwards out injured, the Timberwolves need Ball to become more of a leader and deliver. So far, he has been doing that.
