Unless you’ve been living under a rock over the last month, you’re well aware of the growing schism between Philadelphia 76ers big man Joel Embiid and bombastically braggadocious basketball dad LaVar Ball that began during the 2017 NBA Draft.
Just over a week ago, Embiid was fined by the NBA for saying, “F—k LaVar Ball” in an Instagram Live session.

Well, we all knew LaVar wouldn’t be able to let Embiid’s latest comments slide even if he wanted to. Over the weekend, Ball responded in an Instagram video.
LaVar Ball responds to Joel Embiid’s fine for saying “F— LaVar Ball.”

He get fined every time he say a cuss word. Like I said, his vocabulary is limited. I bet you he can’t say ‘F you’ more than I can say it to him. ‘Cause his ass’ll be broke. When you working for somebody, shut your mouth.
The saga continues…
