Joel Embiid and LaVar Ball have beef and it’s heating up months before the NBA season is even set to start. Recently, Embiid said “F*ck LaVar Ball,” during an Instagram live session, and the NBA fined him $10,000. Now, fans have started a GoFundMe page to “Pay JoJo’s fine.” The fundraiser has already totaled more than $2,000, and though the money won’t actually go to Embiid, it will go to the SPCA.
Sixers fans are raising money in honor of Joel Embiid’s ‘F*** LaVar Ball’ fine
Sixers fans love JoJo.
How did we get to this point?
After hearing a ton of LaVar Ball chatter, Embiid and his Sixers teammate Ben Simmons had a back and forth on Twitter, where Embiid told Simmons to dunk on Lonzo Ball.
After Embiid’s “F*ck LaVar Ball video came out, TMZ spoke with Ball, who went off about Embiid’s “limited vocabulary.”
Lonzo Ball and Joel Embiid haven’t even played against each other on the court yet and things are getting heated. For now, we get to see Lonzo in summer league, where he’s already become THE person to watch. But the season is only three and a half months away.
And as far as the beef goes, at least this is contributing to a nice cause on GoFundMe, where 177 people have donated in 19 hours.
