Timeline

1967

LaVar Christopher Ball (born October 23, 1967) is an American businessman.

He is the co-founder and chief executive officer (CEO) of the sports apparel company Big Baller Brand and founder of the now defunct Junior Basketball Association (JBA).

He is the father of three professional basketball players: Chicago Bulls point guard Lonzo, Greensboro Swarm shooting guard LiAngelo and Charlotte Hornets point guard LaMelo.

Ball played basketball and football while at Canoga Park High School, going on to play basketball at the collegiate level for West Los Angeles College, Washington State and Cal State Los Angeles.

He also played football at Long Beach City College for a season.

He had a brief professional career as a tight end with the London Monarchs of the World League of American Football, where he had a total of 28 kickoff return yards, and no receptions.

Ball was born on October 23, 1967, to Anderson and Maria Ball, and was brought up in South Los Angeles, California.

He is considered the middle child of his family.

He has four brothers, named LaFrance, LaValle, LaRenzo, and LaShon, as well as two sisters.

Ball attended Canoga Park High School in Canoga Park, Los Angeles, where he was a prominent quarterback on the football team and played basketball as a forward.

In one season, Ball grabbed a total of 316 rebounds to break the school record.

He stood 6 ft 4 in (1.93 m) and weighed 250 lbs (113 kg) by college.

Aside from sports, Ball majored in criminal justice at college and had hopes of being a U.S. Marshal.

His favorite basketball player when growing up at the time was Charles Barkley.

Ball first began playing college basketball at West Los Angeles College in the low-tier Western State Conference despite having little experience at the prep level.

1986

In the season opener in 1986, he recorded 33 points and 18 rebounds against Porterville College.

Ball then transferred to NCAA Division I Washington State and became a starting forward.

In 26 games for the Cougars, however; he averaged only 2.2 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 1.0 assists per game.

After one season, Ball transferred again to Cal State Los Angeles, which competed in the NCAA Division II, playing alongside three of his four brothers.

Following college, Ball was invited to a football tryout and eventually made a return to the sport.

After finishing his college basketball career, he played a single year of college football at Long Beach City College as a tight end.

1994

On May 1, 1994, Ball signed with the New York Jets of the National Football League (NFL) as a defensive end.

1995

He was a practice squad member of the New York Jets and Carolina Panthers in 1995, but never played an official regular season game in the National Football League.

Ball returned to the Jets on March 7, 1995, as a tight end and was immediately sent to the London Monarchs of the World League of American Football (WLAF) the same year.

In the 1995 season for the Monarchs, Ball had zero catches, but did record 28 yards in kick returns.

According to his teammate Kenny McEntyre, Ball was "garbage".

During his NFL career, Ball was also a part of the practice squads of both the Jets and Carolina Panthers, remaining with the latter team until late November 1995, albeit with no games played due to injury.

His football career would come to an end after said injury, and he would retire to initially be a personal trainer in California.

2015

In July 2015, Ball and his sons made national sports headlines when Gary Parrish of CBS Sports wrote a feature story about the Ball family.

2016

Although LaVar Ball initially received minimal public attention at the start of 2016, his sons gave him a media platform that he would begin to use increasingly, starting at the end of the year.

In a March 2016 interview with MaxPreps, he first began displaying his confident personality to the public.

When asked who Lonzo plays like, he described his son as "Magic (Johnson) with a jumper."

The family continued rising in popularity after SLAM magazine featured them in an article in August 2016.

Subsequently, Ball himself rapidly rose in profile through a series of incredible comments about his children, such as on November 26, 2016, when in a TV interview he guaranteed that UCLA, spearheaded by Lonzo, would win the 2017 NCAA Division I Tournament.

On December 14, Ball predicted that all three of his sons would be one-and-done prospects for the NBA draft by playing only one year of college basketball.

2017

Following a series of bold statements in the spring of 2017, Ball began repeatedly making national sports headlines.

His early remarks included saying that his son Lonzo was better than Stephen Curry and claiming that he himself could defeat Michael Jordan one-on-one in basketball.

He was subject to both praise and criticism as he continued making similar comments, some of which involved his company, Big Baller Brand.

Ball has made several appearances on national TV and has routinely drawn attention from major sports media outlets.

He has also been in the spotlight for his criticism of his sons' teams, most notably the Lakers for their treatment of Lonzo, as well as for his exchange with U.S. President Donald Trump after LiAngelo was detained in China for shoplifting.
