Poor Lonzo Ball. The teenager, who is currently focused on leading UCLA into their March Madness Sweet 16 encounter with the Kentucky Wildcats, has many of the NBA's biggest names eagerly awaiting his arrival on the professional stage, and he hasn't even opened his mouth.

Sadly, his father has had plenty to say. LaVar Ball has continually spoken up the ability of his oldest son, and his words have gained a reaction from some of the association's biggest names - including Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr.

His latest comments have touched a nerve with one of the biggest names in the sporting world; LeBron James. 

After LaVar's recent comments on the ability of NBA players in comparison to their father's, LeBron has fired a warning to the 48-year-old, telling him to keep his son's name out of his mouth. 

As per ESPN.com's Dave McMenamin, James warned LaVar: "Keep my kids' name out of your mouth; keep my family out of your mouth. This is dad to dad. It's a problem now."

LeBron's sons LeBron James Jr. and Bryce Maximus James have shown signs of promise at such a young age, and given their connection to one of the game's true greats, they will always be compared to a high standard.

James' words are unlikely to stop LaVar. After all, nothing has stopped him up to this point. 

Ball's original comments, as per ESPN, were: "You got LeBron—it's going to be hard for his kids because they are going to look at them like, 'You got to be just like your dad. And after a while, that pressure starts sitting on you like, 'Why do I got to be just like him? What can't I just be me?' And then they are going to be like, 'Aw, you're soft. You're not that good.' Because the expectation is very, very high."

He went on to say that the greats in the NBA - including Kobe Bryant and Stephen Curry - were able to get to their level because their parents' legacy didn't overshadow their career.

The former Washington player said: "The monsters in the NBA, their dads wasn't that good. They were OK, they was players, but the fact that the old [Dell] Curry wasn't no All-Star, he wasn't cold. He could shoot the ball, though. Kobe Bryant, his dad wasn't all that, that's why he's such a monster."

Lonzo Ball's dad may not be a legendary figure, but his father's words are certainly piling the pressure on early.
