This is not the first time someone has compared LaVar Ball to Kris Jenner, but it doesn’t make it any less accurate.
Here is what Magic Johnson had to say on ESPN Radio in L.A.’s “Afternoons with Marcellus and Kelvin” as transcribed by Larry Brown Sports.
“The Kardashians, we didn’t say that the mom was bad. She made them a lot of money, right?” Johnson said with a laugh. “She’s bragged on her daughters and I think it’s the same here. He’s just saying, ‘Hey my son is great.’ There’s nothing bad with that.”
“We’re not looking at LaVar being a problem if we’re blessed to have an opportunity to draft Lonzo,” he said. “We don’t know at this time whether we’re gonna do that or not, but I will say you have to give the father a lot of credit for being in not just Lonzo’s life, but the other two sons as well. I’m happy that a father goes around and says great things about his son.”
It looks like a given if Lonzo is on the board the Lakers are going to draft him.
