<p>The <strong>Ball Brothers</strong> have been hyped for a very long time. In fact, the “least” talented brother <strong>LaMelo </strong>was the one who turned out to be the best among them. Even so, with Lonzo injured, the oldest of the Ball brothers didn’t showed any dominance at all. Now, the ‘<em><strong>Ball</strong></em>‘ will be given to <strong>LiAngelo</strong> to play for the first time in the <strong>National Basketball Association, next season</strong>.</p>
<p>In the past week, <strong>LiAngelo Ball</strong> signed a <strong>1-year deal</strong> with the <strong>Charlotte Hortnets</strong> to play for them with a salary of<strong>$1,017,781 </strong>dollars,according to the specialized site, <strong>Spotrac</strong>. So, after 4 years in the league, LaMelo will have his older brother with him.</p>
<p>In fact,<strong>LiAngelo</strong> already played for Michael Jordan’s franchise, but was cut right before the last season. Then, he went to the <strong>NBA G League’s draft</strong> andspent the last season as a <strong>Greensboro Swarm player.</strong>There, <strong>LiAngelo</strong> got the chance to show off his skills and earned his way back to the <strong>Hortnets</strong>.</p>
<h2>NBA: Ball Brothers and similar cases who played together in the NBA</h2>
<p>Now that the two of the <strong>three Ball Brothers</strong> will join forces to play for the <strong>Charlotte Hornets</strong>, its time to review other pair of brothers who did the same at least for one season in the<strong> National Basketball Association</strong>. This is tiny list is composed by brothers who played together in the same franchise, not only in the NBA.</p>
<p>For example, <strong>Marcus</strong> and <strong>Markieff Morris</strong> played together for two and half seasons in the <strong>Phoenix Suns</strong>, then, Marcus was traded away to the <strong>Detroit Pistons</strong>. Then, there’sJustin and Jrue Holiday, who managed to playtogether in thePhiladelphia76ers for one season.</p>
<p><span></span>Also, there’s the Lopez brothers <strong>Robin and Brook</strong> who played together in the Milwaukee <strong>Bucks</strong> for a season. Finally, the Antetokounmpo brothers who managed to win an <strong>NBA Championship</strong> with the Bucks in 2021, while theirbrother <strong>Thanasis</strong> won with the <strong>Los Angeles<span></span>Lakers</strong>.<span></span><span></span><span></span><span></span><span></span><span></span><span></span></p>

That’s why<strong> Marcus Morris </strong>did whatever he could to take him out of the competition, both literally and figuratively.</p>
<p>Morris stepped on his injured ankle in Game 5. Doncic and social media called him out for purposely trying to hurt him, so he took it to his Twitter accoun<strong>t to say that he’s a competitor and not a dirty player.</strong></p>
<p>And, in case people were wondering whether he did that on purpose or not,<strong> Morris shoved Doncic in the head</strong> with a dirty and unnecessary foul just 10 minutes into Game 6, thus being ejected with a flagrant two foul.</p>

<p>Doncic had to be contained to not retaliate, as he has clearly infuriated at Morris’ dirty attempts to hurt him or take him out of the game, and once again criticized him following his team’s loss by claiming <strong>that he didn’t want to deal with that kind of player.</strong></p>

<h2>Marcus Morris Mocks Luka Doncic Following Dirty Foul And Playoff Exit</h2>
<p>Things got even worse when Bleacher Report posted the quote of Doncic’s critics towards Morris on Instagram. Marcus didn’t take the high road and instead mocked the<a href="https://us.bolavip.com/dallas-mavericks-t92327" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Mavs’ </a>star by commenting <em><strong>‘Cry me a river.

<p></p>
<p>Morris has earned a reputation around the league for that kind of behavior and the<a href="http://nba.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> NBA</a> may look into that foul and comment to enforce a bigger penalty on him. So, if there were any doubts about Marcus’ intentions to hurt Doncic in Game 5, I think that pretty much clears the air. It’s ok to compete at the highest level, especially in the playoffs, but <strong>there’s just no room for dirty fouls in the game.</strong></p>

Marcus Morris mocks Luka Doncic after dirty fouls and playoff exit

Marcus Morris mocks Luka Doncic after dirty fouls and playoff exit - Bolavip US

<p>The <strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/dallas-mavericks-t92327" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dallas Mavericks</a> and <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/los-angeles-clippers-t96054" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Los Angeles Clippers</a> </strong>have fought with toes and nails during their first 5 games of the 1st round of the NBA playoffs.<strong> Luka Doncic’s</strong> heroics have kept the Mavs in contention despite the solid defensive efforts by <strong>Marcus Morris, Kawhi Leonard, and Paul George.</strong></p>
<p>More impressively, Doncic has done most of his damage <strong>with a hurt ankle.</strong> He rolled it badly during the Clippers’ triumph in Game 3 but that hasn’t stopped him from stepping up when his team needs him most, even knocking down an epic game-winning three-pointer in overtime on Game 4.</p>
<p>That’s why the Clippers’ tough and physical defense needs to do a better job at trying to keep him in check, especially with<strong> Kristaps Porzingis </strong>out with a knee injury. However, it seems like Marcus Morris<strong> may have taken it a bit too far.</strong></p>

<p>The controversial forward appeared to <strong>intentionally step on Doncic’s bad ankle</strong>. He had a lot of space to move, yet he happened to step right there. Needless to say, the Slovenian star didn’t care for that ‘unintentional’ gesture:<span></span><span></span></p>

<p>Morris was quick to deny the rumors <strong>and shut down the narrative</strong> of him stepping on Doncic’s bad ankle on purpose, claiming he plays the game with respect and that he wasn’t going to apologize because he didn’t do anything.</p>
<p><em>“I play this game with a level of respect for myself and other players. To think I would try to injure somebody is crazy to me. 10 years going against the best.
