Is Lavar going to do this anytime a player talks about Lonzo? I hope he knows doing this doesn't help his son. He needs to take a back seat.

LaVar Ball: 'Who is Patrick Beverley?'

LaVar Ball: 'Who is Patrick Beverley?'

Good companion article from Lee Jenkins on this. Good quote from Beverly ... something like ... "someday Lonzo will look back on this and appreciate it." Also Pat B told him upfront that guys will come after him because of his dad.

Requested Cavs-Bucks for tonight (SportsHoopla bookie)......that should be a good one.

 

[Dusty]

Looking forward to the Pistons-Wizards and Celtics-Sixers games tonight. I’ll be switching back and forth. Oh, and then there is the Yankees-Astros game.

Why he is responded for Lonzo? It makes him look like a child. The more he responds, the harder it is on his son. He has a target on his back. Lavar needs to shut his mouth, it is getting embarrassing

LMFAO!

Kelly Oubre gonna be a player this Season.

I really hope Wall doesn't do his Westbrook impression all Season.

Wiz kids look good.

 

[Mecca]

Lmfao...that's some cold shit.

We are gonna see what Lonzo is made of in the next few games.

Suns are a good opponent for a bounce back game.

But, Bledsoe is a load too.

I blame ESPN.

Stop giving this clown a platform.

It's about Lonzo, who despite the nonsense, is a good player.

I have said it all Summer.

He is not Magic Johnson.

He's more Jason Kidd.....without the defense.

If you are expecting him to score 20 plus nightly, you are gonna be disappointed.

 

[trojanfan12]

Didn't watch the game, but Russ' box score looked nearly perfect last night. He had 16 assists and only 12 FGAs. This is how he needs to play every night, with a pass first mentality.

No he shouldn't. Stop with your propaganda. He should play hero ball like last year so that PG will want to leave.

Yeah, these other players are going to have a little extra for him, especially the first time they face him. Pretty cool of Beverley to basically point out that he'll learn from it and eventually appreciate it

If he becomes the player that most seem to think he will, he'll have a lot of fun in future interviews talking about what guys did to him early in his career.

Getting? It's been embarrassing for awhile.

Agree though, "the plan" worked, he made it to the Lakers, the season has started, it's time to shut the hell up and let the kid make his own way in the league.

Does anyone believe that LaVar actually believes any of this? If Lonzo ever goes off for like 40 points, 15 assists, 10 rebounds but the Lakers lose, my money is on him praising Lonzo and trashing the rest of the team.

"Beverley is going to test [people]," LaVar Ball said. "He didn't do nothing. But it is a better story. Lonzo don't even care about Beverley. You never care about Lonzo versus Westbrook, Lonzo versus Harden, Lonzo versus Beverley. Who cares? It is a team game."

 

[LAD]

Well ain't that a kick in the nuts!

I see what you did there!

 

[Wamu]

I see what you did there!

I wasn't entirely sober when I posted that comment last night.

So then, I like not sober WAMU!!!!!

Dude is making it hard for the highly over rated Lonzo Ball. EVERY one has to take a beating when starting out. BALL just got his first beating and it won't be his last. Personally my money is on Kyle Kuzma
