LaVar Ball believes NBA workouts and name-brand shoes are the cause of injuries to sons Lonzo and LaMelo Ball.
LaVar Ball smiles during a game between the Charlotte Hornets and Indiana Pacers on Sunday, Feb. 4, 2024, in Charlotte, N.C. is as uncertain as ever for the Chicago Bulls. But in an interview with CBS Sports this week, his father LaVar Ball mixed optimism and blame in equal force as he predicted a full comeback for both his NBA-playing sons at the end of another frustrating season for the family.
LaVar has often drawn criticism for his sons’ injuries, with fans noting his hefty training regimens — and the faulty Big Baller Brand shoes, which often blew out mid-game — as potential sources for the brothers’ ongoing ailments. But in LaVar’s eyes, there are other sources of blame for these injuries.
LaVar doubled down, blaming LaMelo’s recent streak of ankle injuries on his “raggedy shoes” in reference to the Puma brand shoes his son has preferred in the NBA. If Ball can complete a full recovery, it would be an immediate balm to a Bulls team that never fully bounced back from his injury more than two years ago. Even with the success of converting Coby White into the starting point guard position, the Bulls played their best ball with Ball on the court — something his father never failed to miss.
