The Big Baller braggadocio is already on full display in Lithuania.
Speaking with the Lithuanian media at a press conference on Friday, LaVar Ball was asked by a local reporter to sign his Los Angeles Lakers cap with the date he believes all three of his sons will be playing for the purple-and-gold. In response, the Ball family patriarch made clear that he thinks Lonzo, LiAngelo, and LaMelo will be together on the Lakers just two years from now in 2020.

Indeed, 2020 is the year that youngest son LaMelo, who is 16, will be eligible for the NBA Draft. Of course, LaVar has in fact been vocal in his belief that all three boys will land on the Lakers, and he’s a third of the way there with eldest son Lonzo already on the team. But with middle son LiAngelo a questionable NBA prospect at best (not to mention the headaches LaVar has already caused in Los Angeles), the Lakers may just decide that one Ball brother is enough.
