Alvin Gentry may no longer be the head coach of the New Orleans Pelicans, but that fact hasn’t stopped him from from sitting solidly in the corner of Lonzo Ball.
In a comment to the following post containing ten pictures of Ball made by the Pelicans official Instagram account yesterday, Gentry wrote, “Keep up the grind. You’re on your way to greatness. Never doubt that!!!”
If you’re not aware, Gentry has always been one of Ball’s staunchest advocates.
Well before the Anthony Davis trade was executed with the Lakers, I can vividly recall Gentry speaking fondly of the young point guard to local media in private at times.
