NBA Twitter loved and hated LaVar Ball's draft night spotlight
As LaVar Ball’s NBA draft dreams came true on Thursday night, with his son Lonzo being selected second overall by the Los Angeles Lakers, Twitter reacted accordingly to the Big Baller Brand CEO’s moment in the spotlight.
Sixers big man Joel Embiid already wants to see LaVar’s son get dunked on by Ben Simmons:
Please dunk on him so hard that his daddy runs on the court to save him.. https://t.co/cMvt5RYiSQ
