LaVar Ball Just Inked a Major Reality TV Deal for His Sons

All the details on their new Facebook show.

Before Lonzo Ball even suits up for his first official NBA game, he’s already going to be the subject of a reality show.

We knew LaVar reaches for the stars when it comes to bringing attention on his family, but this? Wow. The Ball family is reportedly slated to star in a reality series produced by Facebook, per Deadline. ESPN also confirmed the now-forthcoming series.

The report states that the Ball reality show is part of the social media website’s desire to get itself into the video business. The Ball family show is one of two programs Facebook will debut.

"Our goal is to make Facebook a place where people can come together around video," Nick Grudin, Facebook's vice president of media partnerships said. "To help get there, we're supporting a small group of partners and creators as they experiment with the kinds of shows you can build a community around — from sports to comedy to reality to gaming."

Lonzo Ball signed a four-year, $33 million contract with the Los Angeles Lakers earlier this week, and with his brother LiAngelo beginning at UCLA in the fall and LaMelo also slated to play there, there’s going to be a lot of Ball to go around.

LaVar Ball’s Big Baller brand has also had new developments come its way recently. On Tuesday, the company released red, white and blue versions of Lonzo’s $495 signature shoe in honor of the 4th of July. LaVar also jumped into the ring and tore off his shirt while challenging WWE wrestler The Miz on an episode of Raw.
