Lakers to be unbeatable with all three Ball brothers on the roster in 2020, says father LaVar
The outspoken basketball dad is confident all of his sons will head to Los Angeles as soon as they are eligible
Mark it on your calendars: all three Ball brothers will be playing for the Los Angeles Lakers in 2020.
So says LaVar Ball.
While making yet another media appearance in Lithuania, where sons LiAngelo and LaMelo are playing professionally, the outspoken Ball father was asked by a reporter when his sons would join oldest brother Lonzo on the Lakers.
But because LaVar Ball isn’t just any basketball dad, the proclamation went beyond simply calling out a year. Instead, LaVar signed a Lakers hat the reporter was wearing (he was also wearing a Lakers shirt) with the inscription of 2020.
That is the year LaMelo, now 16, would be eligible for the NBA draft. LiAngelo is eligible for the draft this year and, as LaVar told the reporter, “Gelo will be this year”.
