LaVar Ball.
There is no doubt you have heard the name by now. The father of UCLA point guard Lonzo Ball, as well as a pair of future Bruins and current high school stars, and has become entrenched in the national headlines in recent weeks with an array of bold statements.

Fred Roggin and Rodney Peete debated the subject during "Lunchtime" with Roggin and Rodney this week.
