Ellen to LaVar: Skip meals and maybe you can afford Lonzo's shoes

If you want a pair of Lonzo Ball's high-priced shoes, you might want to skip a meal or two to save money, Ellen DeGeneres joked when the Lakers star and his father, LaVar Ball, were on her show Thursday.

LaVar, who claims "you're not a Big Baller" if you can't afford his son's $495 ZO2s, said people need determination and discipline to come up with the cash to purchase a pair of ZO2s.

"You gotta go work for that shoe," LaVar told DeGeneres.
