Answer

The Charlotte Hornets traded LaMelo Ball to the Minnesota Timberwolves this offseason after six seasons with the team, which means that at least a portion of his offseason activities has involved moving.But when it comes to boxing up his place, Ball's pad is not like anything most of us are used to, and not just because it's a penthouse.A mover working at the apartment posted a video on social media that quickly went viral because... well, you don't see a lot of apartments with alien mannequins standing on countertops that look like a NASA photo of a distant galaxy.CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGEIf you've ever wondered what happens when you give a 24-year-old an almost limitless amount of money, we finally have an answer.It turns out that, at least in the case of Ball, he pretty much turned his place into what looks like every retro arcade bar I've ever been to, sans the actual arcade cabinets.Just aliens and neon every which way you look.I don't know about you, but I'd find it hard to relax in my penthouse with an alien basketball player staring at me from atop my kitchen counter and a neon sign of some cartoon character flickering from down the hall.But maybe that's just me.ZERO BS.
