NBA Refs Should Get FINED | Darius Garland & Lonzo Ball React | BITF Ep. 22

On this episode of Ball in the Family, hosts Lonzo Ball, LiAngelo Ball, Anthony Salazar, and Darren Moore welcome NBA All-Star Darius Garland for a wide-ranging conversation packed with NBA playoff talk, locker room stories, hot takes, and nonstop laughs.

Garland reunites with former teammate Lonzo Ball and the crew to break down what went wrong for the Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference Finals, and whether LeBron James could return to Cleveland and lead them back to a championship. The guys make their Finals predictions, discuss whether the Knicks could get swept on the biggest stage, and debate where Jalen Brunson ranks among the greatest players in franchise history.

Darius also shares his "Welcome to the NBA" moment, what it's like being around Kawhi Leonard, the challenge of defending OKC without constantly fouling, and why he believes NBA referees should be held more accountable. Off the court, the conversation turns to viral TikToks, music in the locker room, who controls the aux, funny Cleveland stories, relationship hypotheticals, and plenty of behind-the-scenes NBA moments.

The crew also tackles a series of rapid-fire debates, including Steph Curry’s shooting vs. Kyrie Irving’s handles, Prime Derrick Rose vs. Ja Morant, Dwyane Wade’s all-time ranking, whether the NBA Bubble Championship counts as a real ring, and much more.

With great basketball insight, hilarious stories, and classic Ball in the Family chemistry throughout, this is an episode you do not want to miss.
