After the Detroit Lions clinched the NFC North and No. 1 seed in the conference, they celebrated in the locker room to the hottest new rap song, “Tweaker” by … LiAngelo Ball?
Yes, the former G League player, and middle brother of Bulls point guard Lonzo Ball and Hornets point guard LaMelo Ball, has a new career — and it’s going well. Less than a week after inking a record deal worth up to $13 million with Def Jam, the 26-year-old LiAngelo took the stage at the end of the first quarter of the Lions’ divisional round matchup against the Washington Commanders in Detroit.
Ball may have pumped up both teams, based on how many twists and turns it took soon after he performed:
- First, the Commanders converted a fourth-and-3 at Detroit’s 9-yard line and then took a 10-9 lead on Brian Robinson Jr.’s touchdown run.
- The Lions regained the lead on Sam LaPorta’s incredible touchdown catch.
