With Lonzo Ball’s father, LaVar, constantly making statements regarding his son, it has given his opponents motivation to go after him in games. Most recently, LaVar’s warning to the Washington Wizards prompted a response from big man Marcin Gortat, who said point guard John Wall would ‘torture’ the Los Angeles Lakers rookie.
Ball has never been one to worry about his father’s antics and proclamations, preferring to let his game do the talking. That being said he is a competitor who wants to win every night, and his teammates are right with him every step of the way.
