Charlotte Hornets star, retired NFLer’s mock ad take on Big Baller’s pricey shoes

The social media world is still drinking in the idea of a pair of $495 shoes from a new brand led by a man known mostly as a celebrity dad with a loud mouth and apparently, having a hard time swallowing.

LaVar Ball, though he once played on the Carolina Panthers practice squad, is mostly known for being the dad of UCLA star Lonzo Ball, likely at least a top 5 pick in the upcoming NBA draft, and his two brothers, who also apparently have a bright future ahead of them in basketball.
