Wherever LaVar Ball goes these days, it is hard not to notice him especially given his popularity which has skyrocketed this last year. His antics also continue to bring more attention to him and his family, making him one of the most recognizable figures in all of sports.
Now in Lithuania to accompany his sons, LiAngelo and LaMelo, as they start their professional careers there, the CEO of Big Baller Brand and former football player has once again found a way to be the center of attention despite being in the middle of his sons’ second game in the country’s pro league. He was asked to attempt some halfcourt shots but missed all three of them, however, he still appeared to enjoy the moment a lot especially with the estimated 1,500 people inside the arena who cheering him on.

The Ball brothers did not have the best of nights either as they were both held scoreless in Vytautas Prienu’s loss to Lietkabelis, 95-86. After combining for 29 points in their previous game, LiAngelo and LaMelo struggled to make their shots, resulting in seeing only limited action with the two only totaling 14 minutes on the court.
The younger Balls will look to bounce back from their embarrassing performance at home on Monday as their team returns to action to face off against Lietuvos Rytas’ second team. It is part of the Big Baller Brand Challenge, which is a series of five friendly matches versus teams from the Lithuanian league’s second-tier.
