He is fluent in English and French and Spanish. And how is it a blatant sham? There are tons of 17-year-olds that are freshman in college, tons.

I graduated on my 17th birthday, I mean the graduation was literally on my birthday that I turn 17. Ballo goes to the NBA Academy in Mexico City.

Plenty of people finish High School earlier than others. Obviously he finished it if he can attend College
