LaVar Ball’s home was burglarized during his sons’ high school game

While LaVar Ball watched his sons, LaMelo and LiAngelo, play in a nationally televised high school basketball game, burglars broke into his home in Los Angeles at around 8 p.m. PT on Tuesday night, according to TMZ Sports.

The thieves, though, made off empty-handed after a loud crashing noise alerted neighbors, who immediately called the police, per TMZ. When the officers arrived to the Ball home, they found all the family’s belongings piled together in the center of the house, “as if they’d been rounded up.”

The burglars ditched their pillage, though, because of the police’s quick response time, according to TMZ Sports. Officers are now taking fingerprints and searching for surveillance videos.

The family has newfound fame given UCLA Bruins star guard Lonzo Ball’s pending selection as a top pick in the upcoming NBA draft and his brothers, who have also committed to UCLA, are expected to make the jump shortly after.

They have also made headlines after LaVar Ball’s recent controversial remarks.

On Tuesday, he said he would settle for no less than a $1 billion shoe deal for his three sons, in an interview with USA Today.

“And you don’t even have to give it to me all up front,” he said. “Give us $100 mil over 10 years.”

In that same interview, he said he “would kill Michael Jordan one-on-one” back during his playing days, when he averaged 2.2 points and 2.3 rebounds at Washington State during the 1987-88 season.

“He cannot stop me one-on-one,” Ball said. “He better make every shot ’cause he can’t go around me. He’s not fast enough. And he can only make so many shots outside before I make every bucket under the rim.”

Those comments came shortly after he said his son, Lonzo, was a better player than two-time and reigning NBA MVP, Stephen Curry.

“If I don’t know what my boy is about, I’m not gonna make that statement,” he said. “Steph gonna have problems trying to guard my boy.”
