LaVar Ball To Joel Embiid: 'Don't Worry About Nobody On The Outside'
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- It was just this summer when LaVar Ball was saying Joel Embiid "can't play" and Embiid was saying "F*** LaVar Ball."
But after the Lakers' 107-104 win over the Sixers in Philly on Thursday night, the two polarizing sports figures met face to face.
"Don't worry about nobody on the outside," Ball to Embiid -- who finished with 33 points, seven rebounds, six assists, and five blocks.

During the game, LaVar Ball was taunting the Philly crowd in the fourth quarter.
