Cue the eye roll.

Controversial helicopter parent LaVar Ball is at it again, and this time he may have spewed his biggest piece of garbage take yet.

Prior to his AAU team’s matchup against Zion Williamson and the SC Supreme at the Adidas Uprising Summer Championships in Las Vegas on Wednesday evening, Ball announced to the world that he and his 15-year-old son LaMelo could beat LeBron James and Michael Jordan in a pickup game.

Never mind that LaMelo is 6'3" and 160 pounds and is still in high school. Doesn’t matter that LaVar himself is far removed from his playing day shape and weight.

The Big Baller Brand has superpowers and LaVar won’t stop talking until we truly believe that his family is capable of anything.
