LaVar Ball and son Lonzo Ball appeared on ESPN’s First Take, Monday (Mar.27) and of course hilarity ensued with the larger than life dad. What followed wasn’t surprising, gifs, memes, and videos went viral on social media.

I have to admit, I was one of those people who was totally irritated by LaVar Ball. I felt he was living vicariously through his kids, trying to bring more attention to himself, and stepped over the line talking about LeBron James’ sons.
I’ve since had a change of heart. It’s undeniable how much LaVar loves and supports his boys and that’s a beautiful thing. Plus, he’s pretty damn hilarious.
