Last night the world witnessed the 89th Academy Awards. The show was glamorous and full of stars, which got me thinking—if UCLA Basketball could win Academy Awards for this season, who would be taking home that beautiful golden statue?
Best Actor in a Leading Role
And the Academy Award goes to . . . Lonzo Ball.
I think this pick is a lot less controversial than Casey Affleck beating Denzel Washington. Ball has taken UCLA Basketball to a whole new level. He made UCLA nationally relevant again. Yes, he has a great supporting cast around him, but Ball is a spectacle of his own.
