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.

AP tells TMZ Sports … Melo eventually decided last month it was time time to get his first grill, so he got Ball’s mold and went straight to work.
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.”
We’re told AP personally flew to Charlotte to hand-deliver the finished product on Monday … and the dude is jacked about the finished product.
Welcome to the league, rook!!
