‘NESN Around’ Podcast: Breaking Down LaVar Ball’s Questionable Basketball Skills

by Mike Cole

Mar 31, 2017

It was a busy week for LaVar Ball.

The father of UCLA star Lonzo Ball saw his son’s college basketball career end after one season, as the Bruins were bounced from the NCAA Tournament Friday night against Kentucky. What followed was a media tour for LaVar, who continues to pump not only Lonzo’s (and his two brothers’) tires but his own as well.

That’s all on top of what he’s already said in the last few months, including a wild assertion he could beat Michael Jordan — yes, that Michael Jordan — in a game of 1-on-1. Unfortunately for the Ball patriarch, video of LaVar’s basketball skills (or lack thereof) recently surfaced … and it’s not a good look.

NESN.com’s Mike Cole and Ricky Doyle broke down the footage and touched on much more, including MLB Opening Day and WrestleMania 33, in the first episode of “NESN Around.” Check it out above.
