 It struck me when I realized it. Is the only clue I'll give. TP if you get it right.

 On a side note Ball's defense is outstanding. I can't speak on his one on one defense, but as a team defender, wow is he Smart.

 Passing angles, knocking balls away from the post. Weak side shot blocking, chase down shot blocking. Anticipating steals it was all on display last game.

 Can't believe how many doubters there are of this kid. He's the rarest rose. A true gem.

they share the same initials.... LB and their names have the same number of letters.

Oh, and first names have five letters, and last names have 4 letters.

 300th TP Big O!

 That's the sign from the Basketball gods we should  take Ball if we can.


 He's the PG version of Larry Bird! Celtics fans rejoice! Another LB is on the way!

In terms of having decent size for his position, elite passing, elite shooting, and middling penetration/poor defense; Ball and Bird have similar skill sets. That obviously doesn't mean he'll be as good of a player.


Great words from a great man

 That's the thing Ball and Bird are tremendous assets to the team defensively. Add to that Ball's outstanding athletism and he might make all second team defence in the NBA.
