LiAngelo and LaMelo Ball are headed to Lithuania to play professional basketball for Vytautas Prienai, a club that hardly anyone outside of Europe will have heard of prior to the Balls’ signing.

For those interested in getting a sense of what Vytautas Preinai is about, ESPN’s college and international basketball analyst Fran Fraschilla dropped some intriguing bits of information about the Balls’ new coach, Virginijus Šeškus, the last of which seems too incredible to be true.

Prominant former American player who played for Ball brothers's new coach had some insight on him: 1. Competent coach w/free-wheeling pick-and-roll offense. 2. Speaks no English 3. Screams the entire game. 4. Sold meat out of his car trunk to his players after practice. I swear.

So, the person tasked to mentor the next wave of Big Ballers during their first taste of professional basketball overseas has hocked meat on the side to his players? That’s certainly an interesting tidbit.

Upon deeper examination, though, if anyone can respect Šeškus’s hustle, entrepreneurial spirit, and penchant for speaking very loudly, it’s likely LaVar Ball. Perhaps Šeškus could even partner up with the Balls to also sell Big Baller Brand merch alongside his meat. Maybe for every VO2 sold, a customer gets some free baloney.

While that scenario might sound far-fetched, it's still no more implausible than a meat-selling Lithuanian coach taking charge of the most famous teenage basketball-playing brothers in the world.
