One of the concerns with the Los Angeles Lakers drafting point guard Lonzo Ball with the second overall pick was having to deal with his outspoken father, LaVar Ball.
LaVar has been at the forefront of Lonzo’s career since he was a star at Chino Hills high school, causing controversy with some of his statements and actions along the way. Before Lonzo’s rookie season, however, LaVar insisted that he would back off.
That has not been the case thus far, as LaVar has made news recently with his criticisms of the way Luke Walton and the Lakers coaching staff is handling the young point guard.
