LaVar Ball is known for his outrageous comments – especially the one where he claimed he would beat Michael Jordan one-on-one in his prime.

Over the weekend, video surfaced of Ball, the father of UCLA’ Lonzo ball, playing in a 2002 men’s league game in Chino, Calif. The video was uploaded by YouTube user DavidLee, who claims he and Ball both played in the game. Supposedly, Ball is the man wearing the number eight on his jersey.

The video is a bunch of plays spliced and edited together, so this could very well be an inaccurate representation of Ball as a player. But from what can be seen on the tape, Ball won’t be beating Jordan any time soon.

The Portland Trail Blazer’s CJ McCollum even got a chuckle in at Ball’s expense.
