Ball spent part of two seasons in the G League with the Greensboro Swarm.

He had averages of 7.2 points and 1.7 rebounds per contest while shooting 49.0% from the field and 44.1% from the three-point range in 19 Tip-Off Tournment games (two starts).

Via ESPN's Shams Charania on January 23: "LiAngelo Ball has signed a deal with Def Jam and Universal Music Group, a representative from his label Born2Ball Music Group says. Sources said the deal is worth as much as $13 million, with $8 million guaranteed, and gives Ball full ownership of music and his own record label."

Ball already has a huge following on Instagram, which should be a huge help to his music career.
