"Childish & Immature": NBA Fans Slam LaMelo Ball For Saying It's His Girlfriend's Job to Change Their Kid's Diapers

Ball said diaper duty usually falls to Ana Montana, and the remark drew criticism from NBA fans online.

  • Minnesota Timberwolves guard LaMelo Ball sparked debate Wednesday after an interview regarding his parenting responsibilities, stating he does not handle diaper changes for his nine-month-old son, LaOne.
  • A 25-point victory over the Miami Heat marked a successful debut for the Minnesota Timberwolves, with Ball scoring 21 points and six assists in his encouraging regular-season start.
  • During the interview, Ball replied, "Nah, my girl do all that," referring to Ana Montana, while Johnson responded, "Man, you don't know what you're missing."
  • NBA legend Neal criticized Ball's perspective, saying, "His mindset needs to change. I was kind of baffled by that answer," citing concerns about the guard's approach.
  • The exchange sparked a wider discussion on parenting roles, with critics questioning why routine tasks are assigned exclusively to one partner; Montana has not publicly addressed the controversy.
