Since each of his three sons were still in high school, LaVar Ball made it clear they would only attend UCLA for one year and then bolt for the NBA Draft. Lonzo Ball was first to make that a reality, going a step further by getting selected second overall by the Los Angeles Lakers.
It was the first step toward LaVar’s dream, or prediction, that his three sons would suit up for the storied franchise. But their path to potentially getting there has changed in recent months and weeks.
In October, LaVar made the decision to remove LaMelo from Chino Hills High School.
