LaVar Ball Takes Shot at Kyrie Irving by Referencing Star's Late Mom

What’s up, guys?

LaVar Ball likes to speak his mind.
Sometimes, that can get him into trouble.
The latest LaVar Ball controversy comes from his Wednesday appearance on Undisputed.
When Skip Bayless, Shannon Sharpe, and Joy Taylor asked him about Kyrie Irving’s comments
about him and his son Lonzo, he shot back by saying that Irving shouldn’t be allowed
to criticize his parenting techniques since he doesn’t have any kids.
This rubbed people the wrong way because Irving does have a kid.
His daughter, Azurie Elizabeth Irving, was born in November 2015.
She’ll be turning two this year.
In the Instagram post of him sharing the news, he thanked his late mother who he named his
daughter after.
“Mommy, I gave her your name because I know you will bless her and our family the same
way you blessed me.
I love you.”

But the worst was yet to come.
Elsewhere in the segment, Ball made some disrespectful comments about Kyrie’s mom, trying to make
an argument that Lonzo’s relationship with Lavar is different because he has two parents
and siblings.
Or something.
It only took a
few days before the internet showed their disgust:
TWITTER: I was really rooting for LaVar too after that Kristine thing.
But bringing upKyrie's deceased mother?
Lowest of the lows.
TWITTER: What Lavar Ball said about Kyrie wast asteless and deplorable.
I have been in his corner but speaking of his late mom is disgusting.
TWITTER: I was all for Lavar Ball.. but the comments about Kyrie's late mother, was way
out of line.
TWITTER: Kyrie should just put LaVar Ball on blast.
Totally inappropriate.
This isn’t the first time Ball has been in hot water.
Ball made headlines during an appearance on Fox Sports 1 on the same day, where he got
into a tense on-air altercation with The Herd with Colin Cowherd co-host Kristine Leahy
over Big Baller Brand.
The
next day, Leahy said she has received death threats and offered her reaction
to what transpired:
It’s probably safe to say that when Lavar speaks, he’s going to send the basketball
world into a frenzy.
Has he hit a peak with his words on Kyrie Irving?
