Ball could be an awkward fit for the Celtics, given his skill set and the Celtics' depth at guard, but he's also unquestionably one of the most talented players in the draft.
"I'm sorry, LaVar, you're not going to be in every hotel room that Lonzo is going to be in", Irving said during a recent appearance on Uninterrupted's "Road Trippin" podcast, which is hosted by his Cavaliers teammates Richard Jefferson and Channing Frye, as transcribed by ESPN's Dave McMenamin.
It's not like the Lakers would publicly say LaVar's bravado storm could potentially dissuade them from making this selection.
The Lakers would lose their pick to the 76ers if it doesn't land in the top 3, but if it does, LaVar Ball likely wouldn't object to his son staying close to home with the storied franchise. The shoe is now running for $495. But then again, neither LeBron nor MJ lost in the Sweet 16.
North Korea calls US-South Korea plot a `declaration of war'
South Korea's late President Kim Dae-jung won a Nobel Peace Prize for setting up the first one, in 2000. Her remarks came in her call to the new South Korean leader to congratulate him on his recent election.
LaVar Ball claimed on FOX Sports 1's "Undisputed" on Monday that the company had sold around 495 pairs, which appears to be inaccurate unless very few pairs were sold between Monday and Thursday. Of all the prospects in this draft, few offer as much potential as Ball.
But because of his dad's insane antics and unfiltered speech, Lonzo is already starting to lose out on big opportunities even before he has set foot on an National Basketball Association court.
After UCLA was ousted from this year's NCAA Tournament round of Sweet Sixteen in an 86-75 loss to Kentucky, LaVar Ball said the Bruins would have won the game had he been the coach. In addition, he wanted that brand to license his family's brand, the Big Baller Brand. They could go with Jackson, a 6-foot-8 wing who fits the current roster and could become a very good National Basketball Association player, and it would not necessarily be a bad decision. His dad will get laughed at, but Lonzo will likely see his career end early or framed as a disappointment.
