In the last few months, LaVar Ball has made it blatantly clear that he isn't one to back down from criticism or strike against him.

With that in mind, Philadephia 76ers big man Joel Embiid has once again dissed him in a Snapchat video post following Ball's recent comments trashing the 76ers and teammate Ben Simmons. It didn't take long for Ball to issue back an even stronger response via TMZ.

“The reason he said that … his vocabulary is limited. You gotta use cuss words when you don't have no intellect.

“He's not intelligent at all. He's worried about me? He should be worrying about playing,” LaVar said … adding that Embiid has spent more time on the injury list than on the court.”

Ball has no concerns about anything that is said about him at this point and Embiid's comments fall directly into that category. In fact, it's right in his wheelhouse of using the media to gain more publicity.

For as much slack that Ball has garnered over the last several weeks, he has keenly used the increased media attention in his favor to further promote his brand and sons to a much greater degree. This has even potentially landed him a reality tv show for himself and his family.

As for Embiid, more will likely come when the Lakers and 76ers play next season at Staples Center. That will become an underlying storyline before, during, and after the game on the court. For the time being, Ball's strong response should lead to more comments from the 76ers' big man.
