The noted ESPN commentator crushed the former UCLA star online Thursday night, hours after Ball made the Internet come alive with the release of the player’s first signature shoe and sandals. Vitale used Twitter to poke fun at the price of Ball’s shoe — a cool $495 — and the player’s performance against Kentucky’s De’Aaron Fox in the Bruins’ Sweet 16 loss in March.

Beyond the fact that Ball’s shoe is WAY overpriced, Vitale has a point here. Fox and Kentucky earned bragging rights in ending Ball’s college career. Ball had only 10 points on 4-for-10 shooting with 4 turnovers against the Wildcats. Fox, meanwhile, dropped 39 points on 13-for-20 shooting against UCLA.

Big-time kudos to Vitale for the creative jab at Ball. Hey, who wouldn’t want that shoe at $4.95? It’s not too late to change the price tag. Just saying, people.

I heard that you can pre-order the shoes now with a delivery date of November. No refunds. This tells me that they're trying to gather money to fund the production and distribution of these shoes.

I really think Lavar Ball has a mental issue.

You couldn't run fast enough to give me a pair of them.

I almost feel sorry for his sons, this man definitely has issues. I just don't see him getting his shoe line up and going. Apparently the major shoe makers wanted nothing to do with this family and from all we have read and heard on TV, it is easy to see why.

Just ordered two pair as I feel they are quite a good deal.

LOL!

SCWC,

And to think his other two sons are marginal at best. I think Alford gave them all scholarships just to get Lonzo.

I've head just the opposite. That the youngest Ball boy is the better of the three! I guess we'll just have to wait and see! (Not that I really care!) LOL

Lonzo is by far the best of the three Ball brothers. I have seen footage of all of them playing in high school games, the other two are no where close to the talent level of Lonzo in my opinion.
