LaVar Ball Goes Full LaVar Ball in Joel Embiid Response: ‘[He Has] No Intellect’

The back and forth between LaVar Ball and Joel Embiid continues.

July 7, 2017

The beef between LaVar Ball and 23 year-old 76ers player Joel Embiid continues. Ball responded to Embiid's Instagram Live video in which he remarked "Fuck LaVar Ball."

Speaking to TMZ, when questioned about the back and forth, Ball commented, "The reason he said that? He got three words 'cause his vocabulary is limited. That's why you gotta use cuss words when you don't have no intellect." He continued, "I got three words for him. Can't play at all. Oh shoot, that's four." Ball says a few other things including telling LeBron James that if he joins the Lakers he will close out his career with a championship. Watch the full video above.

The war of words between Ball and Embiid began back in June during the NBA Draft. Ball took to ESPN to boast that he believes with the addition of his son Lonzo, the Lakers will be a playoff team. Lakers head coach Luke Walton attempted to downplay Ball's comment. Then, 76ers rookie Ben Simmons took to Twitter to write "crazy pills."

Embiid soon after also took to Twitter to weigh in. He wrote: "Please dunk on him so hard that his daddy runs on the court to save him.."

LaVar of course responded while on the radio during an interview with 97.5 The Fanatic. "When you don’t win and don’t even make the playoffs and don’t even stay on the court long enough, that’s the best thing you can do is tweet," LaVar said.

He continued, "These guys ain’t played a game, always hurt, and at the bottom of the totem pole. So guess what? Get your asses off the goddamn Twitter, and get in the gym."

Then came Embiid's response to LaVar during the aforementioned Instagram Live video clip. We'll see if any more words will be exchanged or if the beef will simmer off.
