The reason LaVar Ball is such a polarizing figure is because although he is entertaining, he makes claims that are quite outlandish and often unbelievable. The first claim, which got all of our attention early in the season, was about the UCLA Basketball team winning the NCAA Championship.
Since then, he has made claims that his son Lonzo Ball is better than Steph Curry, he would have beaten Michael Jordan in his heyday and that L.A. stands for “LaVar is Awesome”.
As ridiculous as his claims appear to be, they always appear to be attention-seeking rather than based on fact.
