Prior to the NBA Draft, debates raged about talented UCLA guard Lonzo Ball and whether his father, LaVar, would create problems for the team that selected him. He appeared destined to end up with the Los Angeles Lakers, and on draft night, that dream became a reality.
Lonzo wasted little time in proving himself, winning the MVP award at the Las Vegas Summer League while the team brought home the championship.
For his part, LaVar has insisted that his outspoken personality and salesmanship would not be a problem. He can often come off as cartoonish, making outlandish claims and spouting the kind of rhetoric that thrives in the WWE.
