Ben Simmons‘s sister Olivia seems to have taken exception to LaVar Ball‘s endless grandstanding and his comments about women. The sister of the Philadelphia 76ers forward tweeted her desire to see Ball’s NBA prospect son, Lonzo, get dunked on when he finally enters the league.
Olivia sent out a series of tweets about Lonzo, LaVar and Big Baller Brand on Thursday, seemingly as a response to Ball saying his company is not for women.

Her issue is definitely with his comments about women, as she stopped subtweeting for a moment to call out Ball’s marketing snafu from Wednesday.

Simmons can say such things because it’s almost certain the Los Angeles Lakers will take Lonzo second overall at next month’s draft. With Philadelphia in the No. 3 spot, they’ll look elsewhere in the Draft. Still, Olivia Simmons will be watching closely when the Lakers and Sixers tip off.

Her beef does seem to fall squarely on LaVar Ball’s words. His son just happens to be the collateral damage here.

If her tweet locations are correct, Olivia Simmons lives in Australia, which is why it makes sense that she signed off for the night after the tweetstorm. She’s gone at it with quite a few people on Twitter because of the tweets, but she seems to be holding strong.
Who knows if LaVar will notice the tweets and say something in return. He has a habit of telling people to stay in their lane, especially if they’re women.
