And you thought your little brother was annoying.
LaVar Ball, the father of UCLA star Lonzo Ball, has become the Donald Trump of college basketball for his over-the-top comments and outlandish statements.
LaVar’s latest takes are that his sons “deserve” a billion-dollar shoe deal, that Lonzo is somehow better than Steph Curry and that he, himself — who averaged two points per game in college — would “kill” Michael Jordan in a one-on-one basketball game.
Twitter went absolutely nuts and even started the hashtag #LaVarBallSays in what turned into a fun game of what people guessed what his next ridiculous statement would be. So sit back, grab some popcorn and enjoy the show.
#LaVarBallSays if God was his son, earth would have been created in one day, not seven.
