LaVar Ball gets clowned for showing off $1,850 Big Baller Brand exercise equipment, with LiAngelo Ball working out on it [VIDEO]

LaVar Ball Clowned for $1,850 Big Baller Brand Exercise Bar

LaVar Ball, the outspoken patriarch of the Ball family, is back with yet another bold product launch through his Big Baller Brand. Known for his knack for making headlines, LaVar has introduced a new piece of workout equipment—a simple exercise bar priced at a jaw-dropping $1,850. Social media erupted almost immediately, with fans, celebrities, and critics alike taking to Twitter to roast the product. Despite LaVar’s claim that it’s the ultimate setup for isometric training, most people saw it as just another overpriced gimmick.

In a video posted on Instagram, LaVar demonstrated the use of this equipment with the help of his son, LiAngelo Ball. LaVar explained that this bar is for those who “can benchpress 400 pounds” but “can’t do two pull-ups,” making it essential for anyone serious about fitness. However, that lofty price tag had people in stitches rather than reaching for their wallets.

Social Media Has a Field Day

As expected, Twitter users did not hold back, roasting everything from the price to the actual usefulness of the bar. Rich Dollaz from Love & Hip Hop even weighed in. As a result, tweeting, “Ain’t nobody buying that …. that warranty been worn off.” Hilariously, Richie D showed his overall disdain for Big Baller Brand. Another user mocked the price by saying, “$74.99 on Amazon…” Thus, making it clear they’d rather get a more affordable option.

Other reactions were just as brutal. One user joked, “Lavar will sell you a $200 jump rope and call it isometrics.” Another added, “Look like it’s finna break,” questioning the equipment’s durability and quality.

For many, LaVar’s track record of selling high-priced, low-demand items fueled the skepticism. From his $495 Big Baller Brand sneakers that infamously fell apart on the court, to this latest venture, fans are quick to remind him that they’re not buying into the hype this time around.

LaVar’s Defense: “The Real Deal”

In his demonstration video, LaVar doubled down on the bar’s importance. He passionately described the benefits, suggesting that his workout equipment is unique in helping people who may be strong in traditional weightlifting but lack in basic body-weight exercises like pull-ups and push-ups. He stated, “You got guys who can benchpress 400 pounds, 300 pounds but hey, they cannot do two pullups. This is the real deal right here. So, you got to get this set up for $1850…”

While LaVar might see this as a unique value proposition, Twitter wasn’t convinced. A poll from Settle the Debate! asked followers if they would buy the product, and the result was overwhelming: 91.8% of voters said “No.”

Celebrity and Fan Reactions Highlight the Hilarity

The skepticism didn’t just stop with fans; even fitness enthusiasts and casual followers shared their thoughts. One user, Dr. Bobby Boucher, sarcastically tweeted, “He said isometrics but he meant calisthenics,” pointing out an apparent mix-up in terminology, while another added, “A gym membership will be just fine 😂.” For many, it seems that paying nearly two grand for what looks like a basic exercise bar isn’t the smartest investment when a standard gym membership would cover far more.

Others went a step further, implying LaVar is just cashing in on his brand’s notoriety. Beat Snippets tweeted, “This man is trying to collect every penny he can,” insinuating that LaVar is using his loud personality to push products, whether they’re worth the price or not.

Community Sentiment: Gym vs. Expensive Home Equipment

Many users questioned why anyone would pay $1,850 when gyms are readily available and offer a broader range of equipment. 1of1 tweeted, “1850?? boy da parks in da hood free,” pointing out that simple bodyweight exercises don’t require pricey equipment. And another, with a hint of humor, said, “Uhh, a gym membership will be just fine 😂.”

While LaVar may believe this equipment is essential for fitness success, the general sentiment online is that anyone can achieve the same results with access to a gym or even free community parks. Users noted that they’d rather do push-ups on a park bench than invest in something this costly.

LaVar’s Business Strategy: Bold or Busted?

LaVar Ball has never been one to back down from controversy, and he has consistently leaned into the criticism to fuel Big Baller Brand. The question now is whether this product launch is just another extension of his business style or if he genuinely believes in its value. In a world where premium fitness equipment does have a market, it’s possible LaVar sees a niche here. But judging by the responses, that niche may be smaller than he thinks.

It’s not the first time LaVar has tried his hand at a high-end product, but given the laughter online, this launch might struggle to find its footing. Even if some fitness fanatics might see value in it, the majority of people seem to think it’s just another overpriced product from the Ball family empire.

In classic LaVar Ball fashion, the entrepreneur is unlikely to let the public reaction sway his opinion. Whether this product will sell as well as he hopes remains to be seen, but one thing’s certain: LaVar knows how to keep people talking, even if it’s with a $1,850 price tag that has the internet laughing out loud.

Conclusion

LaVar Ball’s $1,850 workout bar launch is a quintessential example of his signature approach to business: bold, unapologetic, and full of personality. While he positions the product as essential equipment for anyone serious about fitness, the overwhelming reaction on social media has been more skeptical than supportive. Twitter has turned into a virtual roast, with fans, fitness enthusiasts, and even celebrities like Love & Hip Hop’s Rich Dollaz weighing in to poke fun at the steep price and LaVar’s ambitious sales tactics.

Critics of LaVar’s business model are quick to recall past high-priced Big Baller Brand items, like the $495 sneakers that failed to meet quality expectations, and they’re applying the same scrutiny to this new product. From questioning the equipment’s durability to comparing it to far cheaper alternatives available on Amazon, the public response highlights the disconnect between LaVar’s lofty pricing and the perceived value of his offerings.

For LaVar, however, the spotlight may be worth more than the sales. He’s once again sparked a conversation, reinforcing Big Baller Brand’s presence in pop culture and social media. His unique style keeps him at the center of attention, and though it remains to be seen whether fitness enthusiasts will invest in his isometric training gear, LaVar’s tactic of sparking controversy continues to solidify his place in the entrepreneurial world.

Whether this $1,850 workout bar finds success or fades into the background, LaVar Ball has once again proven that his name alone can get people talking. And if the internet’s collective response is any indication, this is yet another example of LaVar’s ability to entertain, provoke, and keep Big Baller Brand in the conversation—even if he’s being laughed at along the way.
