After Battling Thoughts Of Death, LaVar Ball Reveals How LaMelo Ball & Sons Saved Him During Amputation

When it comes to being the proudest dad of all time, no one’s probably beating LaVar Ball. All three of his sons have become accomplished names, arguably eclipsing his own stardom by multiple folds. So, it was only natural for his sons to be his strength when times got tougher for him. In fact, LaVar even had thoughts of death crossing his mind, but it was his sons who pulled him out of it.

“I had an infection where I was in the hospital for over a month,” Lavar opened up to SLAM. Providing more details regarding the  amputation of his foot, Ball said, “I had an infection on my foot that started spreading through my blood due to not paying attention to my diabetes. I ended up having to get my leg amputated. First, they cut off a couple of toes. Then they cut off my foot. Then they said, We gotta go almost knee high for another surgery. Three surgeries. And then there were also the blood transfusions. Not one, not two, not three, four different times.”

It went to a certain stage that death thoughts too came to his mind. “It made me think, man, just kill me and let me go about my business,” he expressed. But it was his sons, who came for the rescue. “Seeing what my boys are doing out there, they’re like, Dad you’re the toughest dude / know. That made me keep going.”
