PRIENAI, Lithuania — Flying into a frenzy of camera flashes, cheering fans and funk music, the Ball family discovered in an instant just how much Lithuania has been anticipating its arrival. The improbable one-year deals were struck in December by father LaVar Ball, who also created the Big Baller Brand of clothing and sneakers. “We are just too fast.”Then, while signing a Lakers cap, a local fan asked when all three Ball brothers would be playing in Los Angeles. The town is putting a lot of faith in the Ball brothers to lead BC Prienai to glory. With the Ball brothers planning a longer stay, the locals are ensuring they feel at home.
