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.

I hope Mark Levin reads some of Trump’s tweets about LaVar Ball tonight.
Wait’ll Trump tweets, “It’s because your son stinks!”

He has trouble dribbling the ball because his fingers are too light.
This guy will be a beauty for years to come.
He could single handily destroy BAMN, BLM, and the NAACP
A Haiku For LaVar:
Number 33
Great Champ of the Celtics
Though, would disagree.
This guy La Var is making a career of STUPID.
Nothing worse than a man full of excuses and with a mouth the size of the Congo to fill the role of the biggest drama queen ever.
Ironic that his wife is White and his half-cracker son can’t play. LOL!
Isn’t this idiotic hustler’s 15 minutes of fame up yet? Sheesh.
“Realistically, you can’t win no Nobel Prize with three black guys because the mental speed is too slow.”
Fixed it.
Luke Walton was asked, when they signed Lonzo, how he was going to deal with loud-mouth Lavar. Luke chuckled and replied that he actually had some amount of experience with fathers that talked too much about knowing everything.
Just think, the Lakers could’ve had Jayson Tatum instead of dealing with the Ball family fiasco.
He thinks he’s special
Exactly, NO sympathy for the Lakers, they knew what they were getting.
The Ultimate Sport Parent
Thanks to my wife’s rich friend we sat a couple of seats away from Mr. Ball and his wife at a Laker game last week, one row behind courtside. His “coaching” consisted of yelling at his son to “run faster” and “jump higher”, the kind of stuff you would hear a little league parent shouting to their 10 year old from the stands.
Several people asked for selfies with him and he obliged them all, to his credit I guess.
Sorry LaVar, hate to tell you this but Larry Bird was a better basketball player than Michael Jordan.
