Most NBA fans are aware of the tough competition Patrick Beverley dished out to Lonzo Ball during his Lakers debut. However, an All-Star player is not surprised at all and saw this from a mile away.
John Wall, who is considered to be the best point guard in the Eastern Conference warned Lonzo Ball way back in February that players like Patrick Beverley would come after him all season long to “leave a statement” per TMZ Sports. Wall said LaVar Ball’s constant hyping up of Lonzo Ball prior to his NBA season debut would add “fuel to fire” to his future opponents.
“A lot of people try to leave a statement, you know let ’em know how the league is … especially if they’re gonna be going against him for the next couple years.”
