Money Well Spent! LaMelo Ball Celebrates Joining The NBA By Showing Off His Brand New, All-Diamond Grill

Source - You make it to the NBA, you get iced out ... and that's exactly what LaMelo Ball did -- copping an incredibly shiny diamond grill to kick off his rookie season!!

Of course, the youngest Ball bro. already knows how to be a pro -- he played in Lithuania and Australia before going #3 overall to the Charlotte Hornets last month.

But, making it to the Association calls for a BIG "treat yo self" moment ... so the 19-year-old enlisted AP The Jeweler from Atlanta to come up with an unforgettable piece.

The finished product is a pair of 14k white gold chompers (8 top teeth, 8 bottom) with VVS diamonds in a honeycomb set. As for how many rocks?? AP tells us it's "The most diamonds I've ever put in a grill."

Money well spent, LaMelo! Nothing says "rich" quite like a diamond grill. That's old money. I see them all the time when I'm walking around the Upper East Side. The only difference is those grills are on the front of the Maybachs waiting outside of townhomes, not in peoples' mouths. I kid...Besides, who am to comment on the wealth of another person? It's not my business and it's not yours either. I just think it's a goofy purchase. 

I mean look at this thing...

Not only that, people don't get grills anymore. Grills died in 2009 along with Paul Wall's career. To be honest, the only reason I'm writing this blog is because I need a reason to hate on LaMelo. I spent the better part of two years wrongly shitting on his basketball acumen so I'm hanging on by a thread. With any luck he'll have a shitty NBA season so I have something to write about, but chances are he won't. You don't go number three in the draft if you can't hang with the big boys. Take it away, PW…
