WATCH: Dad puts UCLA's Lonzo Ball and his brothers through workout on Christmas

The Ball family was working out on Christmas to get an edge

Led by UCLA's Lonzo Ball, the Ball brothers are dominating West Coast basketball attention.

Lonzo has emerged as the top player for the No. 2 Bruins and his UCLA-bound brothers are also making names for themselves. Still in high school, LaMelo is calling his shot Babe Ruth-style from halfcourt and LiAngelo's points per game average is off the charts.

It should be no surprise to anyone that the success of the Ball brothers comes as a result of hard work every day -- and that apparently includes Christmas.

SLAM magazine filmed the entire Ball family Christmas and at times it was just like any ordinary holiday celebration. The Balls got clothing (from a clothing company that their father created called Big Baller Brand), played dominoes, sat around and cut up with one another and even played a game of "H-o-r-s-e" like any normal family would do.

But it was the work they did that may separate them from many other ordinary humans.

Each Ball brother each got in a solid workout that included push-ups and pull-ups on an outside exercise area. And their father, LaVar, explained the reason why they did so -- that by getting extra work on Christmas Day, it allows them to get a jump on those who were taking the day off.

"We know everybody else takes a break, and when they take a break, we jump another step in front of them," he told SLAM magazine. "That allows us to be undefeated."
