LaVar: Lakers will win title after beating Warriors in conference finals
LaVar Ball has officially offered his boldest prediction yet.
With his son Lonzo Ball leading the way, the Big Baller Brand CEO expects the Los Angeles Lakers to not only make the playoffs in 2017-18, but to beat the Golden State Warriors en route to the franchise's first title since 2010.
"I've got a vision for this year," LaVar said Thursday on the "Flagrant Two" podcast, according to Colin Ward-Henninger of CBS Sports. "(The Lakers) are gonna win them 50 games, and they gonna get in them playoffs, and the story that's gonna be for L.A. is Steve Kerr versus Luke Walton. That's gonna be a hell of an L.A. story, because he don't want that matchup. Luke know them tendencies, for that type of team. He knows 'em. And then there's another big story that y'all gonna have: The bigmouth father LaVar said his son was better than Steph Curry - now let's see!
"If they get them suckers in the Western Conference finals, the Lakers are gonna get them. And when they get to the Finals, my son ain't gonna lose."
While the Lakers may have won just 26 games last season, LaVar has the utmost faith in his son, who he claimed was better than Steph Curry during Lonzo's freshman year at UCLA.
