LaVar on Magic: We won't have issues 'because he can't tell me what to do'

LaVar Ball has a message for Lakers president Magic Johnson: You handle your business, I'll handle mine, and there won't be any animosity.

Of course, it would be a little easier for LaVar and Magic to stay out of each other's lanes if their primary interests weren't merging together for presumably the next decade or so. That's because Lonzo Ball - the No. 2 pick in the 2017 draft - is both Magic's star rookie and LaVar's eldest son, as well as the pitchman for the Big Baller Brand family business.

In any case, Magic revealed earlier this summer that LaVar assured him that his braggadocios personality is just "marketing." Lonzo Ball has also openly talked about looking forward to learning from Magic, a Hall of Fame point guard, so it seems unlikely there's an actual feud brewing.

For now, let's chalk up LaVar's Kanye-like antics to simply more self-promotion.
