Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls. Are you sitting down? Because you’ll need to for this one.

Tonight you’re in for a real treat. At 10:00 PM ET, CNN will be hosting a very special guest. Someone who has a story that needs to be told. Someone so brave and so unique that he cannot keep his story quiet anymore.

That’s right. Lavar Ball is gonna be on CNN tonight and I can’t wait. Look at that face. He’s locked and loaded, ready to make his court side hot takes seem like Stats 101 compared to tonight’s appearance.

Is there anything more 2017 than CNN having LaVar Ball – infamous father of basketball players Lonzo, LiAngelo, and Lamelo – on a network Trump absolutely hates? It’s so 2017 it hurts.

And he’s not here to talk about Big Baller Brand or Lonzo’s career with the Lakers. Heck, he’ll probably barely touch on LiAngelo’s recent scare with the Chinese justice system. He’s on CNN to freestyle trash the president.

Everyone (including me) has 3 burning questions for the week ahead: (1) Will my mom be making her famous sweet potato casserole WITH the marshmallows for Thanksgiving this year? (2) Is Marshawn Lynch actually going to get suspended, per DJT’s recommendation? And (3) What in the name of all that is holy, is LaVar Ball going to say back to our president after LiAngelo was cut loose from China?

Well thank goodness for CNN because we no longer have to wonder. LaVar’s about to tell us with probably unlimited airtime at 10 PM eastern tonight. So tune in.

And enjoy some leaked footage of the two men training for their showdown in the meantime:
