Lonzo, LaMelo Ball Hype LiAngelo's New Song amid Viral Video of Bulls Locker Room
January 5, 2025
The Ball Brothers stick together.
Chicago Bulls guard Lonzo Ball made sure his brother LiAngelo's new song was playing in his team's locker room following Saturday's 139-126 victory over the New York Knicks. As if the locker-room celebration wasn't enough support, he also took to social media to hype the track.
He wasn't the only one, as Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball did the same:
Lonzo and LaMelo may be biased when it comes to their brother's music, but they aren't the only ones in the NBA listening to it.
ESPN's Kalan Hooks noted the Cleveland Cavaliers played it during Donovan Mitchell's postgame interview after Friday's win over the Dallas Mavericks.
"The fact that you know the words ... the song just came out," Mitchell told a teammate. "Shoutout to LiAngelo Ball, I guess."
The song is titled, "Tweaker" and, according to Hooks, generated more than 816,000 views on YouTube in its first 24 hours after it was released. It is also available on Apple Music and Spotify.
It has been a solid start to 2025 for the entire Ball family, as LiAngelo has his music and Lonzo is back on the court for the Bulls this season for the first time since the 2021-22 campaign. He came off the bench in the latest win over the Knicks and tallied eight points, six assists, two rebounds and two steals in 25 minutes.
It was his third straight game with more than 20 minutes played, indicating he is working his way back into the regular rotation as the Bulls fight for a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference standings.
As for LaMelo Ball, he hasn't played since Dec. 26 because of ankle and wrist injuries, although he led all Eastern Conference guards in the NBA's first fan voting returns for the 2025 All-Star Game.
There is plenty of reason for the Ball family to celebrate, and now they have the perfect song to listen to while doing so.
