ANALYSIS/OPINION
You want to say LaVar Ball is crazy and there’s some truth to that.
But he did draw 1.6 million viewers for the inaugural game of the Big Baller Brand Challenge in Lithuania. That’s the tournament he created and convinced his sons’ team, Prienu Vytautas, to host.
I guess the team is nuts, too.
Vytautas shifted around its entire season to accommodate the elder Ball. It skipped the Baltic Basketball League in favor of the tournament, a series of five friendly matchups against other Lithuanian clubs. It slapped the BBB logo on the halfcourt circle and restricted area arcs.
