Ellen DeGeneres won’t allow Lonzo Ball to forget the time she dunked on him.
The talk-show host gave the Los Angeles Lakers rookie point guard a housewarming gift for the ages Thursday during his appearance on “The Ellen Show.”
DeGeneres presented Lonzo Ball with a piece of basketball-inspired artwork after grilling him and his father, LaVar Ball, about their on- and off-court plans.

Oddsmakers tip Ball as the favorite to win the NBA’s Rookie of the Year Award, and DeGeneres’ gift might fuel his motivation to reach that goal, especially if he puts the painting in a prominent spot in his new apartment.
