Recently, there was a case made that Brandon Miller should be given serious consideration to compete for Team USA in the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. However, I couldn’t help but believe that LaMelo Ball had a stronger chance. Ball is well known for his accurate shooting, fast pace, and excellent ball distribution.There’s no doubting his brilliance on the court, even though his health is still a major concern.
Only the second player in Charlotte Hornets history will represent Team USA in the Olympics. In 2004, Emeka Okafor played for Team USA, however he was limited to just two games and little minutes. Even though he was a member of Team USA in 2000, Alonzo Mourning was then a member of the Miami Heat.
Is Ball thus a better bet to make Team USA’s roster? This was the topic of this week’s X fan poll, in which Ball got 15.1% of the vote and Brandon Miller an overwhelming 84.9%.
