LaVar Ball Talks Near-Death Health Scare, Month-Long Hospital Stay
I’m gonna give y’all the real deal. Recently, I had some personal issues I had to deal with. I had an infection where I was in the hospital for over a month. This happened right in the middle of when Gelo’s banger “Tweaker” was blowing up around the world, in January. Funny how life works sometimes.

LaVar Ball says there's nothing Michael Jordan can teach LaMelo
BarDown Staff There’s no doubt the NBA is a different game today from what it was 20-30 years ago, but just because the game has changed it doesn’t mean that the legends from the past aren’t legends anymore. If any basketball player got a chance to ask Michael Jordan for one piece of advice about the game or how they play, we’d imagine that any one of them would be happy for that opportunity. Well, according to LaVar Ball, there’s nothing MJ could tell LaMelo Ball that could help him improve.

Fans joke about LaVar Ball and MJ having that 1-on-1 after LaMelo was drafted to the Hornets - Article - BARDOWN
BarDown Staff LaVar Ball/MJ The statement that LaVar will never live down... until maybe he proves it. Remember when LaVar Ball told USA TODAY Sports that he would have destroyed Michael Jordan in a game of one-on-one? Michael Jordan came back responding that LaVar couldn't beat him if he was one-legged. Then in 2018, LaVar continued the trolling, inviting MJ to show up to the Big Baller Brand all-star game in Chicago to face him 1-on-1, taking a photo in front of the MJ statue. Well, well, well.
