LaVar Ball is never shy to speak his mind to any media outlet willing to broadcast his message. In his latest loud-mouthing, he asserted his opinion once again on who he wants his son Lonzo Ball to play for once selected in this years NBA draft.
“Team-wise, the Lakers are a better fit,” LaVar Ball told Kyle Draper and A. Sherrod Blakely on th CSN CelticsTalk Podcast. “They (Lakers) really don’t have a leader. Boston already went to the playoffs. They have a leader.”
Although he sounds like a broken record at this point, you cannot blame the passionate father who has always wanted his oldest son to play for the Lakers. Speaking it into existence is as much as he can do as June 22nd approaches.
“I think Markelle is a better fit for Boston,” LaVar Ball acknowledged as well. “He’s more of a scoring guy.”
Nonetheless, LaVar Ball has prepared himself if things do not go his way. Anything can happen, as the Lakers can certainly pick other highly talented draftees with their second overall pick.
“If it doesn’t happen, I won’t be like, ‘goddangit, ah man, life’s over,”’ LaVar said. “Zo’s main goal was to play for the NBA; to get to the NBA. Whatever team he plays for, is fine. Now we go on … let’s say you have a dessert. And your preference is chocolate cake. But if you bring me an apple pie, I ain’t gonna send it back. It’s the same thing. He’s still gonna play so we’re good. Dessert is dessert; NBA team is an NBA team. But if he has a choice and can pick one, I ain’t gonna be afraid to pick one.”
