Even Tim Tebow’s minor-league career can’t stand up to the hype of the LaVar Ball train.
UCLA point guard Lonzo Ball’s pops continues leading the sports media headlines because, love him or hate him, he’s entertaining. In the latest example, he joined ESPN’s First Take show with Lonzo in tow following the Bruins’ loss to Kentucky in the NCAA Tournament.
There was LaVar, arms waving and smiling. Then there was Lonzo, hoodie over his head as if he’s trying to hide.

There were questions asked of both, and LaVar had his share of crazy responses. But for our purposes, the best came in the memes that filled the Twitter timelines of the Balls’ entrance onto the set.
We feel for you, Lonzo, for the fact that your father seems to embarrass you.
But good memes came from it. And we love memes.
