LaVar Ball used these same tactics every time the Lakers rumors included Lonzo!
Does any of the Lakers fans remember every time Lonzo Ball was rumored to be on the trading block, LaVar Ball would make the rounds at Fox Sports 1 to spread smoke and throw the Lakers organization under the bus?
He called out everybody from Luke Walton to Magic Johnson, Jeanie Buss and especially LeBron James to justify Zo’s play. Remember when he had the audacity to say that Lonzo was better than LeBron?
Look anyone with one eyeball can see that it’s not true but his comments are still hilarious. Eight and a half minutes in he makes the comment. Enjoy your laugh for the day. Shannon Sharpe went crazy and even Skip Bayless dipped out of the conversation.
But a Lake Show Life report (outside of the Lonzo/LeBron comparison!) showed that many of the problems behind the scenes LaVar mentioned on-air was right.
But LaVar Ball set a precedent for the future. The Lakers aren’t going to tolerate anything close to this activity. Clint Parks put Kyle Kuzma in a very precarious position. In LeBron’s “Revenge Season” comments like those make things worse.
LeBron James’ 17th NBA season has been nothing short of brilliant, despite some recent injury concerns. He’s missed just one game compared to Kuzma’s numerous stints out of the lineup and is averaging 25.7 points, an NBA best 10.6 assists and 7.6 rebounds.
Oops. Wrong guy to criticize.
