ATHLETES have long been known for the outrageous jewelry they wear, but LaMelo Ball takes it to a new level.
Charlotte Hornets’ star, 21, has apparently bought a watch with a unique design that gives new meaning to ‘iced-out’.

Designer to the Stars posted on Instagram ZoFrostThe watch is adorned with a golden bird and jewel-encrusted strap in gold.
There is ‘MELO – the word on the dial – and a full cover of jewels.
Around the dial there are spikes that are decorated with jewels. Each one is topped off by one big one.
Fans have not been impressed, as one person tweeted that it looks like Ball got “that” from the bottom the ocean.
One said, “Spikey Turtle from Super Mario Brothers Watch.”
While another stuck with the Mario Bros. trend, saying: “Man’s got an iced out Bowser on his wrist”
As one added simply: “That’s a very interesting timepiece”
Ball has yet to reveal the exact value of his watch, but given the fact that he is expected to earn under $11million in this season’s NBA, we are confident he can pay for it.
After suffering a right ankle fracture in February, the 2022 All-Star played only 36 games during this season.
Ball stated in April that the team is looking to rebound next season. Hornets: “It’s a big summer and I’m just trying to get back healthy.
“I’m looking forward to next season. Listen to the coaches and take it from there.
