Though his son wasn't a part of the Los Angeles Lakers 2020 NBA title, LaVar Ball claims that the franchise owes him ‘Thank You' card. The Ball patriarch believes the Lakers went on a mission to prove him wrong after he claimed that the Purple and Gold would never win a title after they traded Lonzo Ball away.
Ball appeared on Club Shay Shay with Shannon Sharpe and shared his rather odd reasoning on why the Lakers owe him. Oh, and he's also unimpressed by the Lakers' title win.
“Heck no. They in the bubble. They’re in the bubble and all this stuff goes right. Like I told them, they need to send me a Thank You card on the fact that I gave incentive to win. I said they’d never ever, ever, ever win. You know they was talking about that the whole year. What did you say last year that somebody remembers? That’s how I be living in people’s heads…just so they can say ‘I told you that you was wrong.’ I still go to bed, take me a nap, eat my donuts and I don’t think about nothing. They’ve been thinking about this for a whole year,” as transcribed by Jacob Rude of USA Today.
Amid his sharp claims, overall Ball is happy that his hometown team won. But he isn't rejoicing as if the Lakers were the underdogs. Given that they had LeBron James and Anthony Davis, Ball says that the Lakers are “supposed” to win.
“I’m glad they won. Lakers is always my team because I’m from LA. But the success that they had, I mean you’re in the bubble playing in the same place. You’ve got the two best players. You’re supposed to win.”
LaVar Ball is definitely one tough fan to please. Maybe he'll change his tune if he ever actually gets that ‘Thank You' card.
