"It's a legit banger" - Paul George approves LiAngelo Ball's 'Tweaker' song with hilarious LaVar Ball impersonation
Paul George praised the new hit song in the sports world, 'Tweaker.' Former NBA player LiAngelo Ball, the older brother of LaMelo Ball and the younger brother of Lonzo Ball, created the track. LiAngelo, now known by his rapper name G3, dropped it a little over a week ago. Despite being fresh to everyone's ears, it appears that LiAngelo got many athletes bopping.
In a clip uploaded on Sunday to Podcast P's official X page (formerly Twitter), George acknowledged how many athletes have been listening to G3's new hit. He even hilariously noted how LiAngelo's father, LaVar Ball, could've reacted when he learned about his son's newfound success.
"I think it's a legit banger," Paul George said. "It's in every locker room. I know LaVar like, 'Yes!... He better than Jay-Z. We just needed time to see it.'"
PG-13's co-host, actor Jackie Long, then proceeded to impersonate LaVar Ball and did an impromptu scene depicting what the elderly Ball could say about his son's new song.
"What I told ya? He the best rapper in the world. He's better than all of them. I don't care who you say. I told ya from the beginning I'm about to get a hat made. ... Jay-Z wanted to sign him, I said no. He going all the way to Big Baller Studios," Long hilariously said while impersonating LaVar Ball.
Paul George expresses frustrations with his role with 76ers
Paul George signed with the Philadelphia 76ers during the summer, hoping to chase a ring alongside Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey. However, things didn't go according to plan as Embiid hasn't been consistently available for the 76ers. As a result, Philly's head coach, Nick Nurse, made some adjustments including a lineup with George as the small ball center.
In a press conference interview with George Friday, the shooting guard expressed his thoughts on playing the center position during Embiid's absence. PG-13 explained that he's used to being more active on the hardwood, running around and trying to make plays on offense and defense. Now, playing as a center, he finds it less thrilling because he's focused on one zone of the court.
"Yeah I mean it's different," George said. "I'm used to scrapping, running around, chasing, fighting through screens. To be honest, I'm bored playing at [center position]. It just don't do enough for me."
Paul George then noted that what makes his new role fun is how he needs to help close passing lanes in the middle while trying to stop the big men. However, he'd much rather play against the little guys if he had a choice.
