Kristine Leahy had quite the eventful day with LaVar Ball on Wednesday, and like the pro that she is, she took it all in stride.

By now, we generally all tend to laugh at the antics of LaVar Ball. The man seems to put his foot in his mouth at least a couple times a week, and really, it’s one of the funniest — yet dumbest, at the same time — things in all of sports. However, as with everything in life, sometimes a line can be crossed, and he crossed one on Wednesday with Kristine Leahy.

Ball appeared on Colin Cowherd’s FS1 show on Wednesday, and he was being his usual stuff. But he went over that aforementioned line during his appearance when he started to treat Leahy like she didn’t matter. He told her to “stay in her lane” when she tried to interject into the conversation, and then explained that “Big Baller Brand” is not something that he wants to market to women. Really, though, it rubbed everyone the wrong way — and rightfully so — when he told the talented Leahy to “stay in her lane” more than once.

Later in the day on Wednesday, Leahy appeared on another FS1 show, Speak For Yourself, where she addressed what took place with LaVar Ball earlier in the day. As she did on Colin’s show, she displayed immense professionalism when speaking on what her thoughts were of the whole ordeal.


Whatever your thoughts on FS1 or even Colin Cowherd’s show, you can’t deny that Leahy is a pro’s pro, and she more than proved that throughout the day on Wednesday.

LaVar Ball went in public again and acted with zero class, while Leahy displayed all of it in the world.
