Are you drinking the Lonzo Ball Kool-Aid?
If you are, you expect the precocious rookie guard to drive the Lakers to the playoffs next season, as LaVar Ball, his carnival barker father, predicts.
You also believe it will not be long before the 19-year-old Ball leads the Lakers to the NBA championship, as general manager Rob Pelinka intimates.
Anyone who has watched Lonzo Ball since his days at Chino Hills High knows he is a special talent. The urge is strong, it’s natural, to compare him with Earvin “Magic” Johnson, who is famed for hitting the open man with a pass before the fellow realized he was open.
