LaVar Ball is at it again and this time his big mouth may be writing a check that his butt can’t cash, after saying Los Angeles Lakers LeBron James would have been “too weak” to beat him 1-on-1 “back in my heyday.”

Let’s admit, Ball and his bravado makes him one interesting character but saying a 6-foot-8, 250 pound James could not handle a 6-foot-6 Ball who once played for Washington State and only averaged 2.2 points per game is a little far-fetched.
But he tried it!
Ball had a sit-down with Fanatics View, reports USA Today, to talk about James, the great Michael Jordan, and his son Lonzo Ball who is now James’ Los Angeles Lakers teammate. Lonzo might want to tell his dad to settle down a little bit so he can keep a good rapport with the new King of the West. Just saying!
Ball explains his reasoning for why James couldn’t best him, like this:
“(I was) 270 (pounds) benching 500! All I gotta do is back you in, I’ll lift all of them up off their feet! … I was a bad mamajama. My will to win was too hard man. One-on-one, I’d be on myself all day.”
Can you say hoop dreams that will forever be deferred!
But what else can you expect from the outspoken Ball.

Recently, The controversial dad-manager had a very clear message for NFL players who kneel for the national anthem: “Get out their league.”
Last month, Ball said NFL players are required to “follow the league’s new protocol for the national anthem,” as reported by the Bleacher Report.
Ball told TMZSports that the players in his new Junior Basketball Association league must stand for the national anthem, before adding “If you don’t want to do it, get out their league.”
He went to say,”That’s why I got my own league. Do what I want.”
