LaVar Ball’s appearance on WWE Raw Monday had plenty of odd moments, including him going shirtless and threatening The Miz and his son Lonzo (the Lakers’ recent selection second overall in the NBA Draft) being introduced to the crowd at the Staples Center, but it was younger son LaMelo who really created something unexpected.
