The raging river of criticism towards anything and everything LaVar Ball may have reached its peak on Tuesday, as the “Nature Boy” Ric Flair chimed in with some candid thoughts on the situation.
In April, it was Ric Flair getting tossed out of a bar after telling a bartender to lose some weight.
A week ago, it was the Nature Boy informing us on Twitter that LeBron and the Cavs would be sweeping the Celtics.
Today? Well, today brought us a colorful appearance from Ric Flair on NFL Network’s Good Morning Football where, among other things, “Naitch” offered up his thoughts on LaVar Ball.
In fact, Flair was the one who brought up LaVar Ball, so you know he was just itching to get this off his chest, which just so happened to be clad in a sea of gold and what looks like a Rolex watch serving as a necklace.
Behold, the definitive take on Lonzo Ball’s impressively self-absorbed father.
The copy in the tweet almost covers it all, but more often than not the 140-character factor limits notable details.
The full quote went as follows:
"“He told Stephen A. ‘I’m undefeated’ … that’s only ’cause he hasn’t run into me. Wooooo! He won’t even say that to me.”"
In this case, the notable detail was obviously “Wooooo!”
But to be fair, and to put all the kidding aside for a moment, Flair’s point was extremely valid.
LaVar Ball’s “act” — whether it’s helping Big Baller Brand thrive or dive — is absolutely putting his son, Lonzo, in a tough spot.
The NBA Draft cannot get here soon enough.
Having said that, since we can’t transport ourselves into the future we must, at least for the time being, embrace the fact that Ric Flair was wearing a shirt that featured … Ric Flair.
Because of course it did. Please never, ever change, Nature Boy.

HOWEVER, we’re not done here just yet.
Flair also made time to absolutely torch Panthers DB Captain Munnerlyn, with one of the highlights being Naitch claiming Julio Jones runs faster backward than Munnerlyn runs forward.
As of right now, this is the clubhouse leader for NFL offseason quote of the year.
