You would think that nothing could be more chaotic and hysterical than seeing the real LaVar Ball appear on Inside the NBA with the TNT crew, but apparently seeing the fake LaVar Ball do the same thing is twice as crazy.
Thursday, Saturday Night Live's Kenan Thompson appeared on NBA on TNT in character as LaVar Ball and did his very best to match the same level of wackiness as Lonzo's dad. The interview began much like any interview with LaVar, with the gregarious father claiming that he's never lost, while promoting about 9000 things that he's working on.
He then moved on to say that the Lakers have the Rockets right where they want them in the standings...
The conversation then progressed to the point that most real LaVar interviews do in which he boasts about being twice as good as whoever's speaking to him, or in this case, three times the weight of Charles Barkley.
He also had some very expensive presents for the crew...well it was kind of a gift.
The interview eventually moved on to the discussion of whether or not the Lakers actually wanted to make the playoffs this season. Turns out that losing was the plan, or as Ball put it, "we don't do what we don't want to do."
In case youβre wondering what Kenan Thompson was doing on NBA on TNT, Barkley is set to host Saturday Night Live this weekend, so we can probably expect to see LaVar Ball make another appearance this weekend.
