LaMelo Ball’s offensive output has greatly increased this season and he is averaging 29.3 points, 5.4 rebounds and 7.6 assists per game for the Charlotte Hornets.
After a few years out of the mix, Ball is back in contention for a spot in the NBA All-Star Game.
Ball feels that he deserves a spot and considers himself an All-Star all the time.
“I feel like I’m an All-Star every year,” Ball said, via NBA TV and Legion Hoops.
He might feel like one, but will Ball be on the roster next month when the league meets in the Bay Area?

Ball looks improved in just about every way this season.
Not only is he scoring a career-high in points, but he looks more confident and has been much healthier.
The Hornets are slowly going through some changes and their hope is to be bound for the playoffs in the next few seasons.
They are not there yet because they are 13th in the East with an 11-28 record, but they are showing signs of moving in the right direction.
For example, they just went on a three-game winning streak and recently took down the Dallas Mavericks.
Ball is receiving a ton of love in fan voting for the All-Star Game.
The latest round of returns showed him with 1,908,967 votes, making him the most popular guard in the Eastern Conference, ahead of Donovan Mitchell, Damian Lillard, Jalen Brunson and others.
So, he obviously isn’t the only person who feels he is an All-Star.
Unless something unexpected happens, he will be part of the game on Feb. 16, although it will be a bit longer before his team is in the mix for the postseason.
