After music icon Ice Cube stated that he'd purchase 10 pairs of NBA Draft Prospect Lonzo Ball's $495 signature sneaker if Lonzo's father LaVar Ball was able to knock down the four-point shot that will be featured in the Big 3 League once they debut later this summer.
As you can see from the video clip below, courtesy of the Big Baller Brand Twitter account, Ball tried to raise the stakes by challenging Ice Cube to buy LaVar's entire travel team a pair of Lonzo's signature shoes if he's capable of making the shot before Ice Cube does.

The video shows no actual proof that the shot was successfully made. If Ice Cube can make this shot before LaVar can prove it, than not only will LaVar dig a bigger hole for himself by having to by a huge amount of $495 sneakers for his whole team, but he will once again prove that he is trying way too hard to help his son.
UNB! Network owner and creator Joey Gucciardo had some intense thoughts on LaVar as a whole.
"I feel so bad for Lonzo," Gucciardo said. "The poor kid must wake up everyday and say to himself 'I am a great basketball player, but my dad is embarrassing the [heck] out of me.' LaVar is a true bigot who has no remorce for insulting any sports analyst or reporter on live television or radio. In fact, the only reason I feel that people even pay attention to LaVar is that he is so embarrassing that it's actually enjoyable to watch him make a bigger fool of himself, and Lonzo deserves much better than this. LaVar Ball should be a prime example of how a father should not represent himself, publicly especially. Forcing a successful career out of your son by threatening reporters, and losing big sponsors on a shoe brand that should not even exist this early on in Lonzo's career, is not good for Lonzo's mentality. It just doesn't make sense. I can't make sense of why [LaVar] can't just back off one hundred percent and let Lonzo control his own destiny."
Obviosly some heated thoughts there.
But will LaVar owe his whole travel team a pair of Lonzo's signature shoes? We'll just have to see if Ice Cube responds.
