LaVar Ball has made another bold prediction about his sons.

In a recent interview with SLAM's Ian Pierno, LaVar expressed confidence that his three sons - Lonzo, LiAngelo, and LaMelo - will reach billionaire status during their professional basketball careers.

"My boys are gonna be the first ones to be billionaires playing on the court. I got other stuff in line to get that," the Ball family patriarch said. "Whatever my boys are playing for on the court, that'll be chump change. You don't have guys doing that. One guy gets a championship and next thing you know he wants his own team, bigger contracts."

Michael Jordan, for comparison, didn't reach billionaire status until 2014 - 11 years after he played his final game in the NBA. He currently has an estimated net worth of $1.9 billion, according to Forbes.
