With UCLA freshman star LiAngelo Ball dealing with legal troubles in China, Saturday Night Live decided to poke some fun at Big Baller Brand by having “LaVar Ball” make an appearance on Weekend Update.
Played by Kenan Thompson, “LaVar” was his usual outlandish self as he hilariously boasted about Los Angeles Lakers rookie star Lonzo Ball. And on top of those extraordinary claims about Lonzo, “LaVar” also unveiled the “LiGelo 20,” which are the signature shoes of LiAngelo.
The “LiGelo 20” feature power laces, a Bose 24 speaker sound system and amazingly also has a rotisserie chicken cooker built into the sneaker. Because of all of these premium features, a pair of the “LiGelo 20” costs $1.4 million but you can only buy a single shoe at a time for $700,000.
Watch the sketch below and for comedic reasons, let’s hope that the actual LaVar Ball takes some cues from SNL when creating LiAngelo’s signature sneaker.
