LiAngelo Ball’s Song ‘Tweaker’ Takes NBA Locker Rooms by Storm
LiAngelo Ball, the lesser-known member of the Ball family, may not be making waves on the basketball court, but his latest musical release, ‘Tweaker,’ has found its way into NBA locker rooms, notably within the Cleveland Cavaliers. Despite not securing a spot on an NBA roster, LiAngelo’s musical journey is rapidly gaining traction, especially after the Cavaliers turned their post-victory celebration into a viral listening party for the track.
Cavaliers’ Victory and the Viral Song
The Cleveland Cavaliers, leading the NBA with an impressive 30-4 record, blasted LiAngelo’s new song following their 134-122 win over the Dallas Mavericks. During his postgame interview, star Donovan Mitchell was heard chuckling when he noticed the music in the background, quipping, “The fact that you know the words? The song just came out, bro! Shoutout to LiAngelo Ball, I guess.” This spontaneous moment further highlighted the growing popularity of ‘Tweaker.’
A New Chapter for LiAngelo Ball
LiAngelo’s shift to music comes after a less-than-stellar basketball career. Although he’s had stints in the JBA, G-League, and overseas leagues, he failed to land a permanent spot in the NBA despite preseason appearances with the Charlotte Hornets and Detroit Pistons. Nevertheless, his new creative outlet seems to be resonating with audiences, particularly among NBA players like Mitchell and his teammates, whose affinity for the song seems genuine.
LiAngelo Ball’s Musical Journey and Basketball Motivation
LiAngelo’s musical shift hasn’t caused him to give up on his basketball dreams. He recently appeared on Angel Reese’s podcast and reiterated his desire to return to the NBA. Despite his mixed success, with a modest performance in the G-League’s Showcase Cup averaging 7.2 points and 1.7 rebounds per game, LiAngelo remains driven, and his musical career may offer him a new path if his NBA aspirations don’t pan out.
While LiAngelo Ball’s musical career is soaring, fans are left wondering what his future holds, both in basketball and music. It’s clear that his artistic endeavors may offer him a bright future, even if his NBA career continues to hang in the balance.
