LaVar Ball has won in life after all three sons become millionaires
LaVar Ball has seen a lot since he started hyping up his oldest son Lonzo Ball. He continued the same when LaMelo Ball was getting ready to come into the NBA. With LiAngelo Ball, it was a different experience, but his intentions never wavered.
Lonzo Ball was selected No. 2 overall by the Los Angeles Lakers. After two seasons, he was sent to the New Orleans Pelicans in a trade that brought Anthony Davis to the franchise. Then two seasons with them and he left for the Chicago Bulls in a sign-and-trade deal.
Over his eight-season career, he has earned more than $110 million. Just aged twenty-seven, he could likely at least double that by the time his career ends. However, his younger brother LaMelo has already earned $70 million and by the time the 23-year-old’s new contract expires, he would have earned close to $240 million.
That leaves LiAngelo Ball, who never earned a full NBA contract despite attempts by LaMelo Ball to help him at the Charlotte Hornets. However, as he was resting at home recovering from an injury, he decided to try out a different career. The after effect of it led to former All-Star Gilbert Arenas to say this.
He has officially made 3 millionaires. That’s talent dawg. Training your whole life for ball. And then just drift and become a millionaire in something else. I know LaVar’s proud of the boys.

The former All-Star said this in reply to a question from Gil’s Arena host Josiah Jackson if LaVar Ball has won in life. Arenas’ answer suggested the father of the three Ball brothers did win as now he has made all three sons into millionaires.
LaVar Ball’s hard work has paid off
While answering the question about LaVar Ball, Gilbert Arenas mentioned that LaVar Ball’s hard work has paid off. That hard work started in 2016 when he made some loud statements which caught the attention of both the media as well as fans.
His comments comparing Lonzo Ball to Magic Johnson made headlines. That and his constant outlandish attitude saw him getting coverage from multiple media outlets. He took it up a notch when he claimed that he would have defeated Michael Jordan in a one-on-one game.
But throughout all these attention-grabbing statements, he was helping his sons develop as elite basketball players. As someone who never past college basketball, his drive and hard work ensured all three sons were capable of entering the NBA draft.
LiAngelo Ball struggled with off the court issues that derailed his chances. However, he has now made himself a millionaire. His hit debut track ‘Tweaker’ has Def Jam and Universal Music Group handing him a $13 million contract. LaVar Ball’s hard work has paid off.
