LaMelo Ball gave Drake’s son Adonis Graham an autographed jersey before the Charlotte Hornets took the floor against the Toronto Raptors on Sunday evening.
Drake, known for being one of the highest-profiled basketball fans in the entertainment industry, has supported Ball throughout his NBA career.
He and Adonis sat courtside at the former All-Star’s home game in January last year. Ball then surprised the six-year-old with a pair of his signature Puma sneakers later that year.
Adonis’ ecstatic reaction to the present garnered much reaction from league supporters and the Grammy Winner’s enclave of fans.
On Sunday, Adonis was granted access to the Hornets locker room before tip-off. He brought a friend along with him to meet Ball and share a priceless moment.

After the interaction, the pair posed for a picture with Adonis holding up the autographed memorabilia.
Drake’s son now has a couple of valued possessions from the Hornets franchise player that will only appreciate over time.
The young social media sensation already has a love for basketball and a pretty good game of his own. Perhaps he’ll take after his father and make waves in the sports betting and memorabilia lane.
