LaVar Ball, the father of draft prospect Lonzo Ball, makes headlines on a daily basis. The controversial figure has mastered the art of manipulating 24/7 news cycle to get as much exposure for his Big Baller Brand as possible making his company a household name even before Lonzo gets drafted by an NBA team.
As for where Lonzo will end up in the NBA, LaVar is doing everything within his power to get him in a Los Angeles Lakers uniform. LaVar, who has repeatedly said he wants his son playing for the Lakers, claims he’s going to talk it into existence, via ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne:
