Early Life, Family & Background

LiAngelo is the middle child of the Ball family, born on November 24, 1998. He grew up with his two siblings in Anaheim, California.

Not to mention, his brothers, LaMelo and Lonzo, are also basketball players. 

It does not come as a surprise since the whole family is associated with basketball.

His father, Lavar Ball, is a former athlete who played college basketball for the Cal State Los Angeles Golden Eagles.

On top of that, LiAngelo’s mother, Tina Ball, was also a college basketball player at Cal State Los Angeles. 

Thus, basketball’s prominence in the Ball family made a career in sports inevitable for LiAngelo.

As a result, the young player began to train under the guidance of his father at the tender age of four. 

LiAngelo played basketball and football at seven with his brothers. Besides, as a teenager, he competed in the Amateur Athletic Union for Big Ballers VTX.

His basketball career in high school began after joining Chino Hill High School at age 15. 

During high school, he drew much attention from the Los Angeles Times.
