‘Bro, let me tell you’: Ayo Dosunmu shares what has shocked him about LaMelo Ball

How many guys who are worth $300 million are still asking questions every day in practice?“He’s worth $300 million, and he’s trying to learn and get better every day.”That mentality is exactly what separates a good player from a great one, and it is no surprise to see Ball perform so well since the start of the season.With Anthony Edwards out injured, the Timberwolves need Ball to become more of a leader and deliver. So far, he has been doing that.Read more:‘He’s special’: Ayo Dosunmu says Timberwolves have a ‘trash talker’ who’s just like Muhammad AliDeMarcus Cousins suggests the Minnesota Timberwolves swap Rudy Gobert for Anthony DavisGilbert Arenas shares what’s ‘surprised’ him about LaMelo Ball since coming to the NBA
