On February 20, Beijing time, according to TMZ Sports, 57-year-old Laval Ball (ball daddy) suffered serious health problems and his right foot has been amputated. It is reported that despite this, the ball daddy is in good spirits and is recovering well.

A few years ago, Ball Daddy made a name for himself with ambitious plans for his sons, and he founded the Big Baller brand, which launched signature shoes for all three of his sons who play basketball. Daddy's bold remarks have made headlines several times, but as his sons have succeeded, he has also received accolades, and many people think he wasn't bragging.

The eldest son, Lonzo, and the younger son, LaMelo, are both doing well in the NBA, while the second son, Liangelo, is also having a thriving music career. In recent years, the ball dad has gradually moved away from the spotlight, but he is still silently the most loyal fan of his sons. The Bauer brothers have not yet spoken publicly about their father's health.

Previously, the American media had counted the total income of the three brothers so far in their careers. The most promising youngest son, LaMelo Ball (three-ball), was a 2020 probe and became the star of the game when he arrived at the Hornets, winning the Rookie of the Year award and becoming an All-Star in 2022.

The three-ball rookie contract is four years and $35.5 million, and with his outstanding performance, he won himself a huge five-year, $260 million contract extension, and his already guaranteed salary reached $295.5 million.

Although the eldest son, Lonzo Ball, is not as good as the third brother, he has made a lot of money in his career. In the 2017 draft, he became the top pick and signed a four-year, $33.4 million rookie contract with the Lakers. After becoming a free agent in 2021, he signed another four-year, $80 million contract with the Bulls. Not long ago, he signed a two-year, 20 million contract extension with the Bulls. Ball's salary has reached $133.4 million.

As for Liangelo Ball (two-ball), he didn't succeed in the NBA despite trying a lot. He has signed several Exhibit-10 contracts with different teams, but has always been terminated. But he recently turned to music and quickly became a success, with his song Tweaker becoming a hit, currently being played nearly 10 million times on foreign media. Universal Music decided to offer Erqiu a $13 million record contract, with a guaranteed amount of up to $8 million. He also took to the stage during All-Star Weekend.

The total career earnings of the Bauer brothers combined were $442 million. That's a lot of money for anyone. Father Qiu was confident that his three sons could become talents, but now it seems that he is not bragging. I wish Daddy a speedy recovery.
