LaVar: 'Less coaching is the best coaching' for LeBron, Lonzo

To his credit, LaVar Ball predicted last year that LeBron James would join his son Lonzo on the Los Angeles Lakers.

Asked what approach he might take if he was coaching the team, the founder of the Junior Basketball Association offered more bold insights.

"Less coaching is the best coaching. Let them do what they do. Certain players, you cannot coach," LaVar told Ricky O'Donnell of SBNation. "You don't coach (Lakers president) Magic Johnson, you don't coach a LeBron, you don't coach really a Lonzo. They understand the game, they smart, they understand.

"You can have some input what you're seeing on the outside, but also the captain of the ship knows how to do what he does. That's what makes those people special. Lonzo's IQ is so high and LeBron's IQ is so high they gonna (be) very good together."

LaVar also suggested that a Los Angeles roster that included his other two sons - LaMelo and LiAngelo - could beat the Golden State Warriors.

"With my boys and LeBron, that's my boy's favorite player. They play so fast and the chemistry they have together will beat the Golden State Warriors," he said. "My boys could beat that team easy, on the fact that they play faster than them."
