PUMA has signed a long-term partnership with the top 2020 NBA prospect La Melo Ball. At just 19 years old, Ball is one of the most exciting players in the next generation of basketball with his electrifying style of play on the court and his personal style off the court. He will enter this year’s NBA draft as one of the most sought after athletes, after becoming one of the youngest Americans to play professionally abroad in Lithuania and Australia. As part of the partnership, PUMA will collaborate with Ball to create products that incorporate PUMA’s culture first approach – blurring the lines between sports, culture, music and fashion. The first collab will be a PUMA x LaMelo Ball T-shirt and hoodie set to release November 18 to coincide with the 2020 NBA Draft.

PUMA Athlete LaMelo Ball stuns basketball fans worldwide. He becomes the fourth-youngest All-Star in NBA History. After Isaiah Thomas in 1990, LaMelo is now the second PUMA basketball player that is honoured with this announcement. The PUMA Fam couldn’t be prouder!   The NBA announced that LaMelo Ball has been selected by NBA Commissioner Adam Silver as an All-Star reserve player for the 2022 NBA All-Star Game. The game will take place at 8 p.m. ET on Sunday, Feb. 20, at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland. LaMelo, the NBA Rookie of the year last season, is the fourth-youngest player in NBA history to be named an All-Star. This season, LaMelo is averaging 19.6 points, 7.1 rebounds, 7.5 assists and 1.5 steals per game in 47 games. He ranks 26th in points, 10th in assists and 17th in steals per game in the NBA and is also 13th in free throw percentage (.875). He has posted four triple-doubles, already tying the Hornets single-season franchise record and is just one of nine players with four or more triple-doubles on the year. Well deserved, LaMelo! ???
