If there's one thing LaVar Ball is good at it's saying outlandish things.
If there's a second thing LaVar Ball is good at it's being incredibly annoying.
He covered both of those bases when discussing UCLA's loss in the NCAA tournament to the Kentucky Wildcats and seemingly put the blame on the color of his son's teammates' skin.
The comments came to the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin.
"Realistically you can't win no championship with three white guys because the foot speed is too slow," LaVar Ball said. "I told Lonzo - 'One of these games you might need to go for 30 or 40 points.' It turned out that was the one game. Then once they get to the Elite 8, they’re right there."
The elder Ball was presumably talking about Lonzo's white teammates TJ Leaf, Thomas Welsh, and Bryce Alford all who all started in the Bruins' final game of the season and contributed much more offensively than Lonzo did in said loss.
After saying Lonzo is better than Steph Curry, it's hard to take anything LaVar says seriously.
NBA
It's even tougher to take him seriously after watching him play -- and get whooped up on -- in a rec league game.
Some media members, like Philly.com's John Smallwood, believe that team's like the Philadelphia 76ers need to beware of drafting Lonzo because of his father's antics.
Smallwood mentions LaVar saying another outlandish thing about a potential NCAA rules violation and concludes: "A quote like that must set off alarm bells for NBA teams because depending on how much influence LaVar has with Lonzo, it is a sign that individual goals will take precedence over organizational goals."
Ball could end up on the Sixers' draft board depending on where the ping pong balls fall. Lonzo's father will certainly turn some fans away. The only thing we know for sure is LaVar is going to continue saying wild things and we're all going to roll our eyes.
