The Ball Brothers are on top of the world.

LaMelo Ball and Lonzo Ball are lacing it up for the Charlotte Hornets and Chicago Bulls, respectively, but it is their brother LiAngelo who has been in the spotlight lately thanks to his new song Tweaker. Whether it's playing in NBA locker rooms or being performed at Ford Field, the song has been everywhere.

And now it has a music video as well.

LiAngelo Ball released the music video Thursday, and it fittingly features his two brothers:

LiAngelo Ball did not find the basketball success that his brothers did despite spending time at UCLA and then playing overseas in Lithuania.

He went undrafted in 2018 and was unable to parlay training camp deals with the Detroit Pistons and Hornets into meaningful NBA stints. He appeared in 31 G League games for the Greensboro Swarm but was nothing more than a secondary contributor.

However, he has found quick success in the music game.

Tweaker debuted at No. 29 on the Billboard Hot 100, and the Detroit Lions invited him to perform the song ahead of their Divisional Round game against the Washington Commanders.

What's more, he signed a deal with Def Jam and Universal Music Group that is worth up to $13 million with $8 million guaranteed, per ESPN's Shams Charania. The deal gives him full ownership of his music and own record label.

Thursday's music video is the next step, and there will surely be more songs to come in the near future.
