LaVar Ball Rejects Kardashians Comparison When Discussing Reality Show with TMZ

LaVar Ball and his family may be creating their own reality show, but Lonzo Ball's outspoken father rejected a comparison to the first family of reality television.

"I ain't no Kardashian, I ain't no Kris Jenner," he told TMZ. "We the Balls. Welcome to the Ball era."

"I don't like them; I don't dislike them," he continued. "The Kardashians are the Kardashians. We're separate. We're ballplayers. We're ballplayers. I ain't following nothing or nobody."

Indeed, the Balls' show will be on Facebook as part of the website's push to get into creative video content, according to Denise Petski of Deadline.com:

"The second project is a yet-to-be-titled docuseries about the Ball family, whose sons Lonzo, LiAngelo and LaMelo have taken the basketball world by storm. Freshman UCLA star Lonzo Ball was chosen by the Los Angeles Lakers as their No. 2 pick in the NBA draft last month. LiAngelo and LaMelo are standouts at Chino Hills High School."

Lonzo Ball responded to a rough summer-league opener in which he shot just 2-of-15 from the floor Friday night with a monster game in his second outing, recording a triple-double (11 points, 11 rebounds, 11 assists) in an 86-81 loss to the Boston Celtics on Saturday night.

Despite the strong performance, his father wasn't impressed.

"There's always going to be progress on each game; he's going to keep going up," LaVar Ball told Ben Golliver of SI.com. "You [media] guys will look at it now and say, 'Wow, he had a triple-double.' That don't mean nothing to me. You've got to win. It don't mean nothin'. Wins only matter. Point guards ain't judged on stats; they're judged on victory."
