‘LaVar Ball’ went back on SNL to discuss life in Lithuania, and it was hilarious

This is too good!

James Dator
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.

LaVar Ball made another appearance on Saturday Night Live this week as Kenan Thompson reprised his role as the basketball patriarch to touch base on how LiAngelo and LaMelo Ball are adapting to life in Lithuania.

The self-professed “multi billionaire” bristled at Michael Che’s suggestion that Lithuania wouldn’t prepare his kids for the NBA by saying:

“Absolutely. I love the Lithuanian league. All white teammates. Nobody above 140 pounds. Vitamin deficiencies. Soft teeth. All layups ... no dunks. Perfect training for the NBA! I love it! Every night the crowd of 61 people just goes wild. Cheering and waving wooden spoons in the air.”

The “Weekend Update” appearance also touches on the “F” grade that Big Baller Brand received from the Better Business Bureau, which LaVar says isn’t right. The “F” just stands for “fenomenal.”

We also got a huge announcement of a new product: “Beets by LaVar.” Unlike the headphones, they’re actual beets, from the ground. Something Lithuania is really helping him cultivate.

So it seems, at least in fictional form, everything is great.
