At one point, people regarded LaVar Ball as nothing more than an overly proud parent who was more than happy to gloat about his kids.
However, he brought it to a whole new level when he said that, in his prime, he would have “killed” Michael Jordan in a game of one-on-one. At that point, people realized that Ball was just being plain silly.
The wonderful team at Sports Illustrated set out to prove just how inaccurate Ball’s claims are. They created a computer simulation of what would happen if LaVar actually faced the GOAT in a one-on-one contest.
As you can imagine, it didn't end well for Ball:

The Basketball Hall of Famer easily came out victorious, defeating LaVar 11-3. Really, this simulation was likely overly generous to Ball.
LaVar, who averaged a measly 2.2 points per ball game in his short-lived college career, probably would not have made a single basket against the 1988 Defensive Player of the Year and 9-time NBA All-Defensive First teamer.
That is, of course, assuming Jordan even bothered to give Ball the time of day, which is highly unlikely.
