Lavar Ball—father of Lonzo, LaMelo and the other one—had a few weird months in the spotlight back around 2017 when his oldest, Lonzo, was drafted to the Los Angeles Lakers with the no. 2 pick.
He had his 15 minutes of fame and enjoyed them. I have nothing negative to say about Lavar, really.
According to TMZ, Lavar Ball “underwent a recent procedure to have his right foot removed … but despite it all, he is in great spirits and doing well.”
Unfortunately, I don’t have any jokes about this man losing his foot, although, if you believe in karma, homegirl did some of her best work here taking away someone’s foot after they scammed people for selling “Big Baller Brand” sneakers that either never came or tore to pieces when you tightened the laces.
Good luck to Lavar and whatever it is he’s going through.
But he’s about to be in hell now that he’ll need someone to take care of him.
And it won’t be his two sons who travel across the country playing professional basketball at the highest levels.
Shit, look at LaMelo Wednesday night—putting Luka Doncic in the torture chamber and making Nico Harrison sit up in his chair and point at the TV like Leo in that meme from Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

LaMelo scored 27 as the Hornets beat the Lakers 100-97 in LA in front of the Ball Family.
So with LaMelo and Lonzo tied up, Lavar will be stuck with the other one taking care of him…
LiAngelo Ball’s full NBA All-Star performance 👇

You know who has a free calendar to help out his father? The guy who can’t dribble, pass, shoot, and now we’ve learned—can’t rap.
LiAngelo Ball makes the same music as every college girl’s SoundCloud rapper boyfriend except he has his family’s financial resources to make us listen to him.
Let’s look at some of my favorite lines from Gelo’s hit Tweaker:
Nigga, don’t be here actin’ new, they’ll put some holes all through your body
I’m like “Oh, them hoes is cool, let ’em in if that shit water” (Water)
See a nigga actin’ bothered, got my green light to red dot ’em (Red dot, red dot)
The whole song is pretty much LiAngelo Ball, the failed European basketball player, claiming he will shoot people.
Perhaps this Lavar foot removal is the best thing to happen to LiAngelo.
I don’t suspect Gelo has a long future in the rap game. He has the pen of a middle school boy in a Call of Duty chat room and the charisma of a blank sheet of looseleaf paper.
Maybe LiAngelo will get the nursing bug, head back to school and get some sort of diploma or certificate—granting him access to a whole new career where he doesn’t have to keep pretending to be something he’s not: talented.
What’s more likely is Lavar will be calling Gelo’s name to help him get to the bathroom while LiAngelo is in the basement with all of his “friends“—(strangers pretending to be cool with him so they can use his expensive recording studio)—making disgusted faces when he sips lean out of a styrofoam cup, robbing LiAngelo of the few brain cells he has remaining as he pretends to be cool and hip in front of his guests.
Get ready for the new Gelo single “Nursing For My Daddy”.
