LaVar Ball, the outspoken father of top NBA draft prospect Lonzo Ball, made an appearance on ESPN’s First Take on Thursday which produced some amazingly terrible television.

After Ball’s stint on First Take several prominent ESPNers took to Twitter condemn the network’s promotion of Ball.
Begging ALL media, INCLUDING US… KEEP LAVAR BALL OFF THE AIR. Please. America is turning against Lonzo BECAUSE of Lavar.

He's winning unfortunately. He keeps getting a forum to "do his thing". We can hate it all we want–but he's figured out the 2017 way. #Sad https://t.co/2muF17YwY6

not a video. Multiple videos. It's embarrassing.

Based on social media buzz LaVar’s antics of First Take were a hit and it’s probably not the last time you’ll see him on the Worldwide Leader Of Sports.
