The Internet has been waiting for this One Shining Moment all tournament long. UCLA was bounced from the NCAA Tournament by the Kentucky Wildcats on Friday, and Twitter went in on Lavar Ball, father of Bruins rookie standout Lonzo. Maybe it had a little something to do with the fact that Ball once guaranteed that his son's team was going to win it all in March.

Maybe it's simply because Lavar's demeanor rubs people the wrong way.


After declaring that Ball would "kill" Michael Jordan one-on-one, it was only a matter of time before someone slapped that Crying Jordan meme on Lavar.
