(AllHipHop News) Media troll or marketing genius? The debate about LaVar Ball’s motives behind his eccentric actions is an ongoing pop culture discussion.
The father of likely NBA draft pick Lonzo Ball has become a lightning rod over controversial statements and endless self-promotion of his Big Baller Brand.
While LaVar has faced off with several sports talking heads on television, Ice Cube is calling him out on the court.
The Hip Hop legend posted a Twitter message where he challenges the former college basketball player to a four-point shot contest.
“Callin out [Lavar Ball] for [BIG3] #4pointchallenge! Make the 30ft shot and I’ll cop 10 pairs of #bigballerbrand,” tweeted Cube referring to Lonzo’s highly publicized $495 Zo2 Prime sneakers.
Last year, Ice Cube announced the creation of his BIG3 professional basketball league.
The 3-on-3 games will feature ex-NBA stars such as Allen Iverson, Charles Oakley, Jason Williams, Stephen Jackson, Kenyon Martin, Mike Bibby, and Rashard Lewis.
Iverson and Oakley will also work as coaches, along with Gary Payton, George Gervin, Julius Erving, Rick Mahorn, Rick Barry, and Clyde Drexler.
Week one of the BIG3 season is scheduled to begin June 25 at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center.
