During a recent interview, LaMelo Ball expressed his views on athletes’ relationship with going to school. Specifically, the Charlotte Hornets player spoke about how school is not the priority of sports players aiming to go professional.

“You wanna go to the league, so school’s not your priority. We not trippin’ off school. We not dumb. We know how to learn. We don’t need school. And school not even teachin’ you s**t–what the f**k is school?”
