Los Angeles Lakers general manager Rob Pelinka loves to tell stories and get poetic over the subjects he talks about. Explaining why he believes Lonzo Ball is transcendent happens to be one of his favorite topics to go through a verbal gymnastics routine about.
Pelinka cut to the chase in his first post-draft interview after selecting Ball, comparing Ball’s vision and impact to that of quarterbacks Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers. Pelinka, who sat down for a 20-minute interview for Spectrum SportsNet’s Connected With... series last week, was back at it again.
