In only his second season, the former Chino Hills High star will be having another marquee moment on Sunday in the NBA All-Star game. Get used to it
LeBron James’ impact on Akron, Ohio, stretches across the city, including St. Vincent-St. Mary High, where he inspires future basketball stars.Yet just because All-Star weekend got off to a slow start for the 20-year-old sensation, there’s no reason to believe that’ll continue. On the court, Ball is all gas, and All-Star weekend rewards those bold enough to not slow down.
Ball was less shy Friday when he arrived at the arena for his first game of the weekend, walking past cameras in neon green sneakers, a winter blue outfit and a cream-quilted coat, carrying himself as if he’s been an all-star forever. The game plan for this weekend doesn’t sound that different from any that’s he used since barnstorming from Chino Hills to Lithuania to Ohio and to Australia before landing with the Hornets.He was named an All-Star as an injury replacement, though he’s averaging 20 points, 7.1 rebounds and 7.5 assists for the Hornets, who were in great playoff position before losing nine of their last 10 heading into the All-Star break.
Thanks in part to Edwards, the Timberwolves are at the top of the play-in picture in the Western Conference, seeded No. 7 with a chance to catch No. 6 Denver.
