Trying to digest the 2017 Lakers. Let’s begin with LaVar Ball, who prior to the season said the following about his son.
“To me, Lonzo is the best player in the world. I don’t know if he can beat LeBron James and Russell Westbrook one on one, but I know he can beat them five on five.”As much as we snigger at and bemoan comments like this, Ball’s Lakers are yet to play Cleveland or Oklahoma City, so technically we cannot pass judgement. Why are we over-analysing every game played by Lonzo Ball, good or bad? It’s simple. His father is making us.
