Of Course LaVar Ball's Dad Thinks LaVar Would Have Beaten Michael Jordan 1-On-1 Back In The Day

Sure the LaVar vs. Jordan story is about as played out as LeBron vs. Jordan. But the blogging story crop is barren as fuck since it’s late June, so we have to make due with what we have.

For months everybody has been saying that LaVar Ball is either the greatest marketer ever, the worst dad ever, or a mix of both. But I think it’s pretty clear to say after watching that video that the Ball family is just the 2017 version of the Mendelbaums from Seinfeld, with Grandpappy Ball being where all this tomfoolery started.

Don’t get me wrong. I love the fuck out of LaVar Ball and all the nonsense they spew on a regular basis because I love a good, ridiculous heel. But today we learned that the Big Baller Brand wasn’t some brainchild of LaVar Ball based on his kid’s basketball ability. It was the product of generations of irrational confidence. I mean look at Old Man Ball’s face.

LaVar Ball clearly got everything from the gift of gab to the “I know I am talking straight up BULLSHIT” look from his dad. If Pawpaw Ball is at the top of your family tree, you honestly think you have a chance to beat anybody in anything at any time. In fact, I think Tex should donate a drop of blood or a pube to Ancestry.com to see if he has any Ball blood running through his veins. There has to be at least 1/16th of Big Baller somewhere in that kid’s DNA.

P.S. What’s up with the driver for Grandpa Ball? Give me someone with a little more flair or pizazz driving around the OG of the BBB squad. The love child of John Lithgow and Vlady Putin looking over his sunglasses as he struggles to play Words With Friends in 2017 is flat out unacceptable.
