LaVar Ball says his son will make LeBron James ‘better’ — as long as Lonzo has the ball

After LeBron James announced he was joining the Lakers, it was only a matter of time — like nanoseconds — before LaVar Ball, who had been predicting the move for months, weighed in on it. According to the outspoken patriarch, his son Lonzo will not only mesh well with James but make the former Cavaliers superstar “better” ... as long as the Los Angeles point guard has the basketball in his hands.

That could be an issue, as James is renowned as one of the greatest playmakers in NBA history, and he can’t make his remarkably precise passes without the ball in his hands.
