NBA training camps will be starting soon and there will be a lot of excitement around the Los Angeles Lakers. Rookie Lonzo Ball has President of Basketball Operations, Magic Johnson and the franchise excited. Fans in and around the league are also curious about LaVar Ball, Lonzo’s dad. LaVar has been a loud and outspoken dad, leading many to believe that Lonzo’s peers will go at him extra hard. To his credit, Lonzo is unfazed and says he’s not worried.
In an NBC Sports article, Lonzo discussed his dad’s potential interaction with his Lakers teammates saying:
Nah. Speaking for my teammates, they already know how he is so it’s never been a problem, and I don’t think it’s going to be a problem.
Lonzo has always been cool and calm in the wake of LaVar’s bluster. He stays in his lane and controls what he can. Doesn’t get too high or too low and just works on his craft. That wills serve him well this season, because the NBA is coming.
