Los Angeles Lakers coach Luke Walton may want to get used to having to respond to outlandish LaVar Ball quotes now that Lonzo is a Laker.
He got his first bit of practice in Thursday night, offering a very funny — and apt — response to Ball’s latest claim that Lonzo would lead the Lakers to the playoffs as a rookie.

Walton and the Lakers knew what they were getting into. Perhaps it will actually wind up being helpful, as the Laker coach has a rather famous, quotable father himself.
