LiAngelo Ball Drops New Single 'Tweaker'

Support pours in from fans and family as Ball ventures boldly from basketball to music.

The Ball brothers continue to captivate the sports and entertainment worlds, with two of the trio making waves in the NBA. Amidst this backdrop, the spotlight shines on LiAngelo Ball, who kicked off the new year with the release of his much-discussed single, "Tweaker." After teasing eager fans with a snippet during a livestream, the one-time Chino Hills star had listeners clamoring for the complete version.

Loyal support came from Lonzo Ball, who took to X to promote his brother's new track, stating, "Been tryna tell y’all @LiAngeloBall really like That. More to come! #StayTuned." This endorsement from the Chicago Bulls player has undoubtedly fueled the buzz surrounding the song. Fans and celebrities alike have praised the single for its infectious old-school vibe, drawing parallels to the classic soundtracks of the early Madden video game series.

One enthusiastic user on X remarked, "LiAngelo Ball dead a came out with a 05' 25 years later. He don't have to play weak a basketball when he could pump out gaming jingles for Madden games." Such sentiments suggest growing belief among fans, with some pondering whether LiAngelo, who is now 26, might find greater success in the music industry than on the basketball court. A bold follower even proposed, "LiAngelo Ball would've been a mega star in Louisiana in the late 90s early 2000s withthat song he dropped ngl." Whether in sports or music, the Ball family continues to emerge as compelling figures to watch.

LiAngelo Ball, known for always being in the limelight, made his official musical debut under the moniker G3 with the release of "Tweaker." After playing for the Greensboro Swarm during the 2021-22 and 2022-23 seasons, and most recently for Astros de Jalisco in Mexico, Ball is now exploring new avenues beyond basketball. Shareef O'Neal, son of NBA legend Shaquille O'Neal, has joined the chorus of support for LiAngelo's musical endeavor, commenting on the post shared by Worldstar on Instagram.

Shareef O'Neal, who has faced his own challenges within the NBA G League—recently playing for G League Ignite where he averaged 5.6 points and 3.1 rebounds across 20 games—echoed the sentiments of fans who are rallying behind LiAngelo's release. This moment not only highlights the camaraderie among athletes but also emphasizes the growing crossover between sports and music.

Reflecting on their time together, it's worth noting the incredible achievements the Ball brothers enjoyed during their high school years at Chino Hills, where they secured the California State Championship with LiAngelo leading the way by scoring 27.4 points per game. Lonzo, another standout on the team, achieved remarkable statistics, averaging 23.9 points, 11.5 assists, and 11.3 rebounds per game, which eventually led him to become the No. 2 recruit of the 2016 class and the first overall pick of the 2017 NBA Draft.

While the Ball family remains associated with basketball, it is evident they are adept at diversifying their talents. The mix of support from peers, family endorsements, and listener feedback around "Tweaker" presents LiAngelo with the opportunity to transition successfully between these two high-profile industries.

With expectations high and anticipation from fans peaking, many are eager to see if LiAngelo can sustain momentum and carve out his niche within the music world. Will we witness the blossoming of his career as he transitions from the court to the stage? Only time will tell, but one thing's for sure—the Ball brothers have proven time and again their remarkable ability to reinvent themselves and thrive across various platforms.
