Los Angeles Lakers point guard Lonzo Ball managed to barely cling to the very bottom of Sports Illustrated’s annual Top 100 NBA players, coming in at No. 100.

According to Lakers insider Harrison Faigen, Pelinka had nothing but good things to […]

With the addition of LeBron James and Rajon Rondo to the Los Angeles Lakers, fans can expect the purple and gold to be a well-oiled passing machine, especially with Lonzo Ball already entering his sophomore season. Combined statistics reveal that James, Rondo, and Ball out-assisted 25 other NBA teams last season. Combined, the three tallied […]

Los Angeles Lakers point guard Lonzo Ball wasn’t worried about the trade rumors swarming his name as soon as LeBron James committed to a four-year, $154 million deal with the purple and gold.

One of the most debated topics among Laker fans is guard Lonzo Ball’s whacky looking jump shot.

Others claim that […]

Lonzo Ball has been rather mum since sustaining a knee injury and undergoing surgery during this offseason, but even the setback won’t keep him from the hype this new season will bring to La La Land.

Lithuanian coach Virginijus Seskus did not hold back on ripping LaVar Ball and his two younger sons, saying that LiAngelo and LaMelo never had the skills to play in the Lithuanian league and that the team’s partnership with the Ball family was just founded on the Big Baller Brand’s financial support. Chuck Schilken of the […]

LaVar Ball hopes all three of his sons will be playing in the NBA one day. Lonzo Ball already made it and is a budding star for the Los Angeles Lakers.

LaVar Ball once said that he will beat Michael Jordan one-on-one. But maybe he has to fine-tune his lay-up skills first? Ball went up against a guy to showcase his basketball skills. After all, he did play some Division 1 college ball for Washington State. He averaged just 2.2 points per game but this doesn’t […]

Tell LaVar Ball that his son could learn from LeBron James and he will call you crazy right where you stand. The very same happened to host J Cruz of Power 106 Radio in Los Angeles, who was shocked at the Ballfather and his reaction after he suggested Lonzo Ball could benefit from having a superstar […]

In 2016, former Los Angeles Lakers player Luke Walton returned to the Lakeshow as their new head coach.

LiAngelo Ball and LaMelo Ball brought the city of Los Angeles a basketball title before their big brother, Lakers guard Lonzo Ball, even does.

Just when we thought LaVar Ball was beginning to speak more sensibly, he comes out and says things like the Los Angeles Lakers are Lonzo Ball’s team and not LeBron James’. Instantly, we are brought back to reality, and remember that Ball is living in his own alternate reality. Ball was recently interviewed in a radio […]

These young Lakers are too much. Josh Hart took to Instagram to post a hilarious graphic of him and his Lakers teammates as characters in “The Office.” Hart nails the representation on this one.

The Los Angeles Lakers made a bevy of moves this offseason with the hope that their young core can continue to develop.

When news broke that Rajon Rondo inked a contract with the Los Angeles Lakers, many were quick to wonder: so who’ll be the starting guard? After all, Rondo is considered one of the top guards in the league. But once again Rondo has made it clear that he’s here to help the organization win. And […]

The Los Angeles Lakers snatched one of the best playmakers available in free agency, signing LeBron James to a four-year, $154 million deal, but the point guard position remains a relative mystery, with two non-shooting point guards who have hit at 30 percent or worst from deep throughout their careers. Lonzo Ball and Rajon Rondo […]

There were mixed reactions among Lakers fans when the team signed former NBA Finals rival Rajon Rondo to a 1-year contract this offseason. Aside from the fact that Rondo has had occasional problems in the locker room with his previous teams, he also is known throughout the league as a poor 3-point shooter. While Rondo’s […]

The youngest Ball brother has grown up in the limelight due to Lonzo and LaVar Ball. LaMelo Ball has NBA aspirations despite the fact that he’s only 17 years old, and sometimes he shows that he’s still just a kid. The Ball family purchased two golf carts for their estate so Tina Ball could get around […]

The Los Angeles Lakers are on a mission.

LaVar Ball has promised a lot since bursting onto the scene alongside the rise of his vastly talented son Lonzo.

Isaiah Thomas’ time with the Los Angeles Lakers was a brief one. In the near future, most people would have forgotten that Thomas had actually donned the Purple and Gold uniform.

Lonzo Ball is looking to build on a promising young rookie season and take his game to the next level. He’s also working on rehabbing his knee after having surgery this offseason.

The NBA and rap are both pieces of hip hop culture. You can’t watch a basketball game or commercial without some sort of rap song in the background. Basketball metaphors have always been a part of rap and hip hop too. Recently, Lil’ Pump broke onto the scene with a song titled D-Rose. Remember, when […]

TMZ Sports is reporting that Lonzo Ball’s girlfriend, Denise Garcia, gave birth to a baby girl on Sunday.
