LaVar Ball created new beef over the weekend when he said that he and LaMelo Ball would “kill” Shaquille and Shareef O’Neal in a game of two-on-two.

2017 is weird.
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
The comments came after Shareef said he thought he could beat LaMelo one-on-one, continuing the absurdity of 2017. This prompted LaVar to respond, because of course he would, then Shaq wore a wig and jammed out to Carrie Underwood — again, because 2017 is weird as hell.
“If lavar ball beats me I’ll superglue this wig to my head forever. It’s only one BIG BALLER BRAND and that’s me THE SHAQ BRAND. Wake up bro. I made more free throws in a game then the Points you averaged mr 2.2 a game. Respect this first balloter #relax #justwatchyoursonplay#shhhhhh #youtoloud#youcanneverbeattheonealboyz”
Shaq is demanding respect from LaVar Ball by dancing in a wig and betting that he’ll glue it to his head for the rest of his life. Shaq would assuredly dominate LaVar in the matchup, so really it comes down to the sons.
LaMelo Ball has committed to UCLA and was ranked eighth-best in the country by ESPN.
Shareef O’Neal has committed to Arizona and was ranked 18th-best in the country by ESPN.
This could actually be a pretty good game. Either way, our money’s on the O’Neals, so we may never see Shaq in that wig permanently, but we can always imagine what could have been.
