Lonzo Ball is the new face of the Los Angeles Lakers franchise, so explained Magic Johnson at the former Bruin’s jersey presentation press conference. Ball chose his college and high school jersey number two, even though Dereck Fisher has not yet had his jersey retired.
Ball’s dad LaVar promised Lakers fans that Lonzo would take the Lakers to the playoffs next season. Even Lonzo couldn’t promise that feat, Magic or Luke either, but he did say that it was the plan to try to get to the playoffs.
To get this goal accomplished, Magic Johnson will have to become Lonzo’s new dad, as he has been busy going about speaking success into existence.
