LaVar Ball Has Better Odds of Becoming President than Lonzo Has of Becoming MVP

• Lonzo Ball’s MVP odds are worse than his father’s odds of becoming President of the United States
• LaVar Ball finds the spotlight no matter what
• Who would you take: father or son?

Step aside, Kardashians, there’s a new family threatening to move in on your finely manicured “American Royalty” corner.

Just as the Kardashian’s usurped the Kennedy’s, the Ball’s are doing everything they can to crash the party and claim the throne.

Relative unknowns just two years ago, LaVar Ball and his three basketball playing sons – Lonzo, LiAngelo and LaMelo – have become fixtures on the basketball circuit, and are essential rockstars in the state of California.

If you ever needed proof to cement that they are here to stay, online sportsbooks have you covered.

Odds to Win 2020 US Presidential Election

Tucked away, deep at the bottom of the list, residing with the likes of Will Smith and hot on the heels of +15000 challengers Steve Bannon, Bill Gates, Stephen Colbert and Kanye West is LaVar – Freaking – Ball.

Of course, dragging his poor son (and lone current representative in the NBA) Lonzo into the mess is what he does best, so it has to be mentioned that the LaVar Ball has better odds to be POTUS than Lonzo does of claiming an MVP trophy (+26500). Let that sink in.

Does LaVar even care that LeBron James is the reason the Lakers are relevant this year?

Well, gee, any other shots you’d like to take at the King while we’re here?

It’s extra funny too because LaVar Ball has already had a run-in with current Commander-in-Chief Donald Trump when his middle son LiAngelo got into some hot water shoplifting during a UCLA hoops trip to China.

The Donald, in his usual “You couldn’t have done it without ME” mode, blasted the UCLA players who were pardoned, and offered some not so parting shots at the youngsters.

Do you think the three UCLA Basketball Players will say thank you President Trump? They were headed for 10 years in jail!

Now that the three basketball players are out of China and saved from years in jail, LaVar Ball, the father of LiAngelo, is unaccepting of what I did for his son and that shoplifting is no big deal. I should have left them in jail!

LaVar Ball didn’t even flinch. In fact, he posted one of the most incredible clap back responses ever, with the hashtag #stayinyolane for added salt.

What a dizzying trip already.

So, if you’re deciding to bet on this action of LaVar vs Lonzo, remember this: Lonzo Ball, as of now, is still teammates with LeBron James, the early odds-on-favorite to nab his fifth career MVP trophy.

Anything that Lonzo is able to accomplish is probably going to be tied in deeply with James.

Ball as president of anything other than Big Baller Brand is a long shot, but hey, after what we’ve seen, nothing is out of the realm of possibility.

Even Kyrie Irving’s best season (25.2 points per game on 47% field goal shooting and 40.1% from beyond the arc) never got him an MVP sniff.

So the pick is LaVar. If we’re going by recent presidential elections, he’s bringing the no-nonsense, big-talking emptiness the American public tends to crave these days.

Gulp.
