On this episode of Ball In The Family, Zo, Gelo, DMO, and Ant are joined by special guest Kayvon Thibodeaux from the New York Giants for a fun, unfiltered conversation covering everything from sports to life off the field.
The guys kick things off with a competitive Fit Check 🔥, rating each other’s outfits and talking personal style. Then they get creative building an NFL team made entirely of NBA players debating who would dominate at QB, linebacker, and more.
Gelo also gives us a behind the scenes look at how he put together Backyard Ball and what's to come for him in the rap game this year.
They tap into the Olympics, college basketball transfer portal talk, and whether players should be allowed to return after declaring for the draft. The music convo heats up too, including Grammy talk and shoutouts to Bad Bunny.
Later, things get real. The crew debates relationship boundaries on social media, following someone you used to deal with, liking pictures, and what “micro-cheating” actually means. Kayvon shares his perspective on maturity, handling problems head-on, and why growth in your late 20s hits different.
Tap in for laughs, real opinions, and elite athlete insight.

We're taking it back to the basics this week with a Boys Only episode – and trust us, you're going to want to stick around for this one.
Lonzo Ball, Gelo, DMO, and Ant link up for one of the rawest, most unfiltered conversations we've ever had on the channel. No scripts. No media training. No topics off the table. Just four guys chopping it up like the cameras aren't even rolling.
The crew dives deep into some real talk about therapy and mental health – why it matters and what it's really like to work through your stuff. Then things take a turn when Gelo finally spills the tea on how he ended up getting married. Yeah, we had questions too.
But that's not all. The guys get into some 'would you rather' scenarios that had everyone second-guessing themselves and showing their true colors. Some answers might surprise you. Some might have you yelling at your screen. Either way, you're definitely going to have an opinion.
This is the content you've been asking for – no polish, no PR-approved answers, just authentic conversation between brothers and friends who've known each other forever. It's funny, it's thoughtful, and it's 100% real.
