Lonzo Ball Talks Sneakers, Reality Show On "Late Late Show"

Lakers G Lonzo Ball appeared on CBS’ “The Late Late Show” last night, with host James Corden noting Ball is "working on your autograph." Ball: “It needs a little help.” Corden then presented Ball with a bucket of basketballs to sign. Then Corden asked his band leader, Reggie Watts, to “get these on eBay straightaway.” Corden noted Jay-Z bought three pairs of Ball's signature Big Baller Brand shoes. When asked if Jay-Z got a discount, Ball said, “I don’t run the website, so I don’t know.” Corden: “You’re not in there at night just sewing up the (sneakers)?” Ball: “I get the tweet that Jay-Z just bought your shoes. I’m like, ‘Cool.’”

Ball said having cameras following him and his family around for their Facebook reality show is “weird,” because there are a “bunch of people you don’t know all up in your business.” But he added, “After you get to know the crew and everything, it turns out to be pretty cool” (“The Late Late Show,” CBS, 9/19).
