If Lavar Ball was to be believed, NBA fans should be nearing phase two of the Ball-aissance. Lonzo is in his sixth year, LaMelo is in his third, and LiAngelo, well, if things had panned out, he’d be somewhere in between. But LiAngelo currently has no entries on his Basketball Reference page, Lonzo is shut down for the season with a prolonged knee injury, and LaMelo just had year-ending ankle surgery himself.
While the final grade is still an incomplete, the narrative could be that Lavar’s boys were overhyped and will never fulfill the promises of the father.
