Last weekend, the Lavar Ball circus made it’s way back to Los Angeles.
The outspoken father of 2nd overall pick and now Lakers guard, Lonzo Ball, decided to provide his opinion on head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers, Luke Walton in an article published by ESPN.com.
“You can see they’re not playing for Luke no more,” Ball said. “Luke doesn’t have control of the team no more. They don’t want to play for him.”
Shortly after the story broke, Stan Van Gundy reached out to Rick Carlisle, who is President of the NBA Coaches Association, as well as Commissioner Adam Silver stating that he would no longer cooperate with the extra access given to networks like ESPN in protest of ESPN running the story (Pistons play the Washington Wizards on January 19th on ESPN).
