The Hornets drafted LaMelo Ball and NBA fans had lots of jokes about LaVar Ball and Michael Jordan

Oh boy.

LaVar Ball is famous for talking a big game. He once said that Lonzo Ball was better than two-time MVP Steph Curry two years ago when he was still playing at UCLA, for example.

He also told us that he would not only beat Michael Jordan in a game of 1-on-1, but he would actually destroy him. One of the greatest basketball players of all time. Destroy him.

That is some confidence. Now, though, he might get a chance to back it up. The Hornets picked LaMelo Ball with the 3rd overall pick in the 2020 NBA draft, so he’ll definitely be seeing a lot more of Jordan soon.

The internet remembered LaVar Ball’s challenge from a couple of years ago and had so many jokes.

So good. We absolutely need this streamed.
