During last month’s NBA draft, Sixers Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid fired a shot at LaVar Ball for making crazy comments about his son Lonzo leading the L.A. Lakers to the NBA playoffs in his first season with the team.

LaVar Ball caught wind of Embiid’s comments and fired back during an interview on 97.5 the Fanatic.
“When you don’t win, and don’t even make the playoffs, and don’t even stay on the court long enough, that’s the best thing you can do – is tweet and make some stuff,” Ball said. “Ain’t nobody else doing that, because they’re working on their games in the gym. These guys ain’t played a game, always hurt, and [are] at the bottom of the totem pole. So guess what? Get your ass off the goddamn Twitter, and get in the gym.”
Embiid was then asked about the LaVar’s comments during Instagram live stream yesterday and this was his response.
