Why on Earth would LaMelo Ball ever need anything at all from Michael Jordan, who hasn’t won a title in two decades?

According to LaVar, his youngest child asks Jordan for advice as often as Big Baller Brand has lost: Never.

We haven’t heard as much from world-famous basketball dad LaVar Ball recently, but it’s certainly not because he has stopped talking about his sons.

Eldest son Lonzo Ball is finally starting to realize his endless potential on the Chicago Bulls. Meanwhile, youngest son LaMelo Ball has rapidly ascended into becoming arguably one of the greatest players in the world for the Charlotte Hornets.

LaVar is assuredly as proud of his children as ever and with good reason.

But as Lonzo and LaMelo continue to play well, we simply don’t need the same carnival-barker antics we’ve come to expect from LaVar in order to convince us that his sons are talented. We see it on the court every time we tune in to watch the Bulls or the Hornets.

However, that doesn’t mean that LaVar has faded into the night. In fact, this week, he may have delivered his best one-liner of all time.

LaMelo plays for the Hornets, which is a team principally owned by basketball Hall of Famer and GOAT runner-up — I’m more of a LeBron guy, sorry — Michael Jordan. When asked how often LaMelo asks MJ for advice, LaVar hit us with the knock-out punch.

According to LaVar, his youngest child asks Jordan for advice as often as Big Baller Brand has lost: Never.

LaVar continued to compare Jordan to expired milk, which he feels should be thrown away. He then said the quiet part loud, wondering what Jordan could offer because, well, when is the last time that MJ won a championship?!

I think that LaVar hit the nail exactly on the head with this one. Could you imagine how weird it would be if LaMelo — who is currently averaging 20.0 points per game — asked anything of MJ — who is currently averaging 0.0 ppg and hasn’t scored an NBA basket since 2003? LaMelo is all good as it is, baby.

I don’t care how many rings Jordan won during his time in the NBA. If you sort all the title winners by the date that they won the Larry O’Brien trophy, Jordan doesn’t rank all that well.

If — and that’s a big if! — LaMelo ever needs to ask anyone for advice, he can go to Milwaukee and ask Jordan Nwora. The wing was on the floor for a minute during the NBA Finals this past season and he didn’t miss a single basket! He was perfect from the floor!

Why on Earth would LaMelo ever need anything at all from MJ, who hasn’t won a title in two decades?

Michael Jordan has gone 8,581 days and counting since he last won a title. Do you want to know how long it has been since Jordan Nwora won a title? 183 days. Step aside, Michael Jordan. There is a new Jordan in town. And he has a thing or two that he can teach to LaMelo.
