The Los Angeles Lakers knew they would have their hands full when they selected Lonzo Ball with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft. It had very little to do with Lonzo himself. Instead, they took on the responsibility of dealing with his father, LaVar Ball.
LaVar is quite outspoken. He has garnered multiple headlines with some of the outlandish things that he has said, even making appearances on CNN. When LaVar is on tv, or he has a microphone put in front of him, he provides quotes and content.
Some of the outlandish things that he says are in regard to Lonzo or his other sons, LiAngelo and LaMelo.
