The 2017 NBA Draft garnered 11% more social engagement than a year ago

According to former Timberwolves GM David Khan, the Ball storyline was all-too familiar, as he likened the case of LaVar Ball to another famous National Basketball Association father- Dell Curry. “I’ll have another hat on that say ‘I told you so'”.

LaVar Ball’s rumored appearance in the WWE also fueled anticipation on whether or not he will get booed by the crowd just like what he experienced during the 2017 NBA Draft. Lonzo Ball is going to take the Lakers to the playoffs his first year. I think when this really came into focus for us was, we knew the talent was transcendent.

Johnson – who even went and spoke to Ball’s principal and teachers at Chino Hills High – sees this teenager as a leader of men. In this case, with Lonzo Ball being drafted by the Lakers on Thursday, it makes sense that nothing is in place just yet.

The WWE is wasting no time cashing in on the most popular father-son duo in sports now and it makes sense to bring them in. But now that he’s in a front office role, what can Laker fans expect out of him as far as production goes? Nance Jr. could end up being one of the players who will benefit most from #Lonzo Ball’s already mentioned game-style.

The praise didn’t stop there from Johnson went as far as stating that he believes Ball would one day have his jersey retired by the team and challenge numerous franchise records held by the NBA Hall of Famer.

Blake Griffin and Paul George opted for free agency.

But Magic and Pelinka believe they will succeed where Buss and Kupchak failed, thanks to what they see as an intriguing young core headlined by Ball and wing Brandon Ingram, last season’s No. 2 overall pick.

“It’s just like James Worthy, Byron [Scott] and Coop (Michael Cooper) used to fight to get on the fast-break and into the lanes”, Johnson said.

Ball’s game-style, fits perfectly with the idea of what National Basketball Association teams want to have in a guard. The Lakers have not been to the playoffs in the last four years, the franchise’s longest playoff drought ever.

However it turns out, it’s enough to keep the league salivating for a year, with both local teams expected to be on Bron’s list. “They blew a lot of games in the second half”, he said. They opened as slight favorites to make the postseason at minus-125 (bet $100 to win $80) and plus-105 to miss it (bet $100 to win $105).
