So, you're wondering if Lavar Ball ever suited up in the NFL, huh? Let's dive into this like we're grabbing a coffee and chatting about old times.
First things first, who's Lavar Ball?
Well, if you've been living under a rock (no judgment, we all have our moments), Lavar is the dad of NBA's Ball brothers - Lonzo, LiAngelo, and LaMelo. He's known for his, let's say, unique personality and bold statements. But today, we're not here to talk about his mouth; we're here for the gridiron.
Now, Lavar's football dreams...
Back in the day, Lavar was a pretty decent athlete himself. He played basketball at Washington State University and even tried out for the NBA. But here's where things get interesting: Lavar claimed he could've played in the NFL too.
Must Read
Remember, this was before his kids were even a twinkle in his eye. Lavar, then a 6'5" power forward, said he could've been a tight end or a defensive end. He even went as far as saying, "I could've played in the NFL. I could've been a dominant player." Now, that's confidence!
But did he actually play?
Here's where things get a bit murky. Lavar never actually played in the NFL. He did, however, try out for the New York Jets back in 1995. But here's the thing: he didn't make the cut. The Jets' coach at the time, Pete Carroll, said Lavar just wasn't "football-ready."

Now, Lavar might argue that he was just too advanced for his time, or maybe he had a bad day. Who knows? But one thing's for sure: he's never been one to shy away from a challenge or a chance to make a bold statement.
So, did Lavar Ball play in the NFL? The answer is...
No, he didn't. But did he try? Absolutely. And that, my friend, is something worth talking about. Whether you love him or hate him, Lavar Ball is a character, and the world of sports is a little more interesting with him in it.
Now, what do you say we switch gears and talk about something else? Maybe we can debate who the real GOAT is. (Hint: it's not Lavar Ball, but we'll let him think it is.)
