A father who didn’t think a couple high school basketball coaches were qualified to coach his sons isn’t stopping with the professionals.
It took less than five weeks into Lonzo Ball’s rookie season for LaVar Ball to blame the Lakers’ coaching staff for not translating his son’s talent into production. Naturally, the basketball dad pumped himself up as the man for the job.
“They’re soft. They don’t know how to coach my son,” LaVar Ball said of the Lakers staff in a recent interview with Bleacher Report. “I know how to coach him. I tell him to go get the victory. Stop messing around.”
Although Ball did not point the finger directly at head coach Luke Walton, saying his problem instead was with the “losing,” the second-year coach was forced to address the situation before the Lakers (8-10) knocked off the Bulls, 103-94, Tuesday night.
“Absolutely nothing,” Walton told reporters when asked how he would respond to Ball’s criticism. “It’s not what we’re here to do or talk about.”
Lonzo, LaVar’s eldest son, has had his game scrutinized at every turn since he scored just three points in the Lakers’ double-digit loss to the Clippers to start the season.

White people too slow -
Isn’t that about what Jimmy the Greek said in that blacks
were superior athletically because of their genes?
And they crucified him for that.
First thing, Lonzo Ball needs to eat a steak.
Secondly, I get irritated watching him play. He always turns if “off” and “on”. 20% of the time he is going ALL out, but the other 80% he is just going through the motions.
It’s like he’s trying to fake out the other team. I’m lazy, I’m lazy, I’m lazy....NOW I GO FAST!!!
If something like this happens again then Trump doesn't get involved.
Trump can lay the blame at ball's feet.
Kind of goes along the saying, burn me once shame on you. Burn me twice, there's a dumbass named ball waiting in the wing.
LaVar should have stopped after Roots. He reminds me of Barry Sanders loudmouth old man.
“They’re soft. They don’t know how to coach my son,” LaVar Ball said of the Lakers staff
So they just GET RID of him, what’s the big deal
if Daddy was such a great coach himself, then his sons wouldn’t need much additional coaching and they wouldn’t have a ‘tude. But they do, so he wasn’t.
I don't remember that about Barry. Barry was so quiet. And a damn good running back. Too bad he was stuck in Detroit.
