Ball was born and raised in the Chino Hills area, about an hour’s drive (depending on traffic) due east of central Los Angeles. Way back in 2017, shortly after he was drafted by the Lakers, he paid $5.2 million for a three-acre Chino Hills estate with a 15,000-square-foot mansion that has since become the main residence of his always-brash father LaVar Ball and his mother, Tina Ball. For his part, LaVar gave a grand tour of the estate and has called it the “best house within an 80-mile radius.”
