There was a point in time when Lavar Ball alllllllmost had all three of his sons playing in the NBA and whatever wish he made with the monkey paw he found buried in his backyard one night had almost come true.
But like the Manning family, Peyton and Eli had NFL careers while Cooper, uh, got to play himself in an episode of The Simpsons.
While LaMelo Ball and Lonzo Ball made it to the NBA, LiAngelo Ball played in some summer league games before making the Greensboro Swam G-League team. Ball played 3 games for the Swarm last season. He shot 11% from 3.
But the training doesn’t stop.
Here is he with big Papa Lavar putting up 400 pounds in some windowless dungeon:

LiAngelo is working out in his parents’ dirty basement with county prison weights and the worst form you’ve ever seen.
Atrocious form for someone attempting to be a professional athlete but incredible form for someone who is one failed NBA tryout away from working security at the local bar downtown.
I think he has a bright future as a guy who could’ve made the league if it weren’t for some vague injury that never happened. Drunk assholes are going to love hearing the stories of his glory days like when he scored 2 points for the Swarm.
LiAngelo Ball is ready to stand in the corner of a dimly lit room with his arms folded ready to rush over and yell “CUT IT OUT” at anyone vaping.
He is getting ready to scare a teenage girl trying to sneak in with a fake ID. Take your cheap out-of-state IDs down the road. We don’t do that at LiAngelo’s bar.
Don’t you dare wear sneakers or a baseball hat if you expect to get past big LiAngelo. Are you wearing gang colors? At the bar LiAngelo bounces?? Good luck to you, brother. You must’ve not seen him lifting those dusty weights incorrectly.
LiAngelo Ball may not win an MVP trophy ever but he is about to be the best bouncer your small town has ever seen.
