Don’t count Ben Simmons’ sister Olivia as a fan of Lonzo and LaVar Ball. On Wednesday night Olivia tweeted she hopes her brother dunks on Lonzo and that LaVar comes on court to help him up. Strong words from Olivia.
This is just the beginning for Lonzo and it isn’t even coming from a player in the NBA. If family members of NBA players feel they can come at Lonzo, what are players going to do? Mind you, Ben Simmons has yet to do much of anything in the NBA himself.
Say what you will about LaVar, and everyone has. But he has created a huge amount of buzz around Lonzo and I for one can’t wait to see how it plays out.

I hope my brother dunks on lonzo ball so hard next year that his daddy runs on the court to help him up………
