LaVar Ball is still a bit salty that his son Lonzo Ball got traded from the Los Angeles Lakers and it has caused him to take several shots at the team because of it.
The CEO of Big Baller Brand appeared Tuesday on Complex Sports’ Load Management podcast where he stated he was not convinced Anthony Davis and LeBron James will be able to bring long-term success to the Los Angeles Lakers.
“AD and—what’s his name—LeBron, they’re not gonna last,” Ball said. “All you gotta do is double team AD and LeBron until they’re so tired; let somebody else beat you.”
Before the 2019-20 NBA season was suspended in March due to the coronavirus pandemic, Davis and James had the Lakers at 49-14, first place in the Western Conference, and had the franchise in the postseason for the first time in years.
At the time the season was suspended, the Pelicans were 10th in the West and trailed the eighth-place Memphis Grizzlies by 3.5 games. Despite the record, the Pelicans are considered one of the most promising young teams with Lonzo Ball, Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram leading the way.
