The Los Angeles Lakers unsurprisingly selected UCLA point guard Lonzo Ball at No. 2 overall in the 2017 NBA Draft on Thursday night.
As expected, LaVar Ball offered nothing but nonsense when interviewed immediately after the pick.

Naturally, like every other time LaVar spouts tremendous braggadocio, Twitter went absolutely insane.
Even Joel Embiid (who does good tweets) and Ben Simmons of the Philadelphia 76ers got in on the fun.
Crazy pills

Embiid replied.
