With a baby being named after the former UCLA star, it only goes to show how well-known he already is now. It also helps increase his popularity that he will be playing for one of the league's most storied franchises, and that he already has his own signature shoe even before entering the NBA.

Ball and the Lakers will be playing their first game this season on Thursday against the L.A. Clippers. Although there are also others who are doubting his ability to be a future star in the league, one thing that's certain is that baby Lonzo and his family will all be rooting for his success.
