Lavar Ball: I was a better TE than Gronk

[SHOWTIME15]

LaVar Ball Says He Was A Better Tight End Than Rob Gronkowski

Ball made the statement on the Really Big Show on ESPN 850 AM Cleveland, saying “back in my heyday” he was a better player than the two-time Super Bowl winner, four-time Pro Bowler and three-time first-team All-Pro selection.

What's a lavar ball? What sport is it used in? And how could a ball be a TE?

LaVar Bell is a top 5 all time TE

And Brady's the 6th best QB since 78...

And one ring Rogers is better..,

And...

The Pats are going to need a bigger bulletin board this year.

Lavarr Ball is faster than a speeding bullit. Lavarr Ball can leap tall buildings in a single bound!

The guy said he could beat Jordan 1-on-1 and the media ate it up but his "cuteness" wore off with the recent misogynistic comments and referee bullying (which Adidas enabled).

So now he's desperately trying to change the narrative back to the "cute". He couldn't mention Jordan again because been there, done that. So why not Gronk?

What the hell is with this dude? I mean, in general? I think he may be certifiably insane.

 

[TBR]

This guy's act is so obvious & contrived. Stop giving him attention.

I doubt gronk knows who he is.

You not only just described Ball, but also half the sports media.

I hope you don't honestly believe that Ball believes his own statements. He'd be insane if he believed his own nonsense, but he doesn't. He makes outrageous statements to get attention because in this day and age, just about any attention is good.

Say "I was a great tight end" and no one cares.
Say "I was better than Gronkowski" and it makes media headlines and people like us talk about it.

 

[Nikolai]

I had to wikipedia the guy. I'm gonna file this under "who gives a ****?"

 

[Sfpat]

His logic must be - In my prime, I was a better TE than Gronk. Then again, Gronk wasn't born then.

 

[RobertWeathers]

So funny. The dude split time with CAR and the NYJ practice squad and played some college hoops. A damn fine athletic achievement but its obvious he's living vicariously through his kids and almost seems like he's struggling with it.

I swear the timing of his outrageous claims and acts of lunacy is every 3 weeks.

Weed alone cannot make a person say the things he says.

ESPN created this Jackass's celebrity. And now,they're tired of him. Well, screw them...

 

[denverpatsfan]

Ben Coates and Russ Francis were better Tight Ends than Gronk. But not this guy.

Lavar is a narcissistic moron that can only claim to be the greatest clown on the world, passing Bozo, and the biggest self promoting horse's.... behind, eeking out Don King.
