LaVar Ball Remains Unbothered As Son Lonzo Gets Drafted by LA Lakers

“D’Angelo is an excellent player”, Johnson said Friday, when the team introduced its top draft pick Lonzo Ball at its practice facility.

General manager Rob Pelinka drafted three players 30th overall and later on Thursday. “(I could) learn a lot from him”. Lonzo is happy that he’s a Laker and will be playing in his hometown.

You do if you’re Magic.

Philadelphia 76ers Joel Embiid asks teammate Ben Simmons to dunk on Lonzo Ball after the Los Angels Lakers draft him. Never had any of them arrived with the fanfare and pressure that preceded Johnson’s introduction by Dr. Jerry Buss, Jerry West, Bill Sharman and Chick Hearn did for him during the infancy of his career.

Ball looked up. Baylor, Goodrich, Abdul-Jabbar, O’Neal, Worthy, West. Johnson. Ball may wind up living up to expectations, he may even one day be worthy of comparisons to Brady and Rodgers – though passing in the National Football League and NBA are hardly equivalent. Nance Jr. could end up being one of the players who will benefit most from #Lonzo Ball’s already mentioned game-style.

When the Lakers made it official, LaVar Ball claimed that he made his purple and gold hat when his son was a baby. They will amplify it.

With so much similarity between the two, Johnson plans to take a mentorship role in Ball’s life, much like what Dr. I’ve got to have a really good relationship with Lonzo.

LaVar Ball may be taking his antics from the basketball court to the wrestling ring. We’re not going to change anything. “But my dad definitely had some tape of him”. It’s not just basketball. “I like to tell stories”.

Everything is peachy in Hollywood right now, but we just finished episode one.

Remember, Magic and Pelinka are new to this.

“It’s not just me”. And I said, OK, that’s all I needed to hear. “It’s fun here. I’m not really anxious about all that”. The Lakers believe that Lonzo is a hard worker. He has raised the most hype potentially since the Kobe Bryant ERA. Obviously like you said, he’s a pass-first guy.

There had been a great deal of speculation in the media that the Lakers were actually considering trading the second pick in the draft.

“I got a two more boys, I’m gonna come and do the same thing two more years”.
