LaVar Ball tries to explain why he thinks Kobe Bryant doesn't like Lonzo
when he picked LeBron James over Kobe Bryant in a greatness debate that was fueled by Michael Jordan making the opposite pick. “I’ve been LeBron my whole life,” Ball said in August 2017.
The boisterous LaVar Ball, is claiming that Bryant isn’t a fan of his son because his son’s favorite player growing up was LeBron instead of Kobe. This seems like quite a leap, considering Bryant even managed to squash his beefwith Shaquille O’Neal, who once asked him in a rap battle how his backside tastes, but here we are: LaVar Ball is saying wild stuff again.
via Lakers Nation, when one of the hosts asked LaVar about LeBron joining Lonzo’s team this summer.
“How many times does a player get to play with his favorite player,” said Ball, “probably never.”
“That was Lonzo’s favorite player growing up,” Sauce or Shram asked.
“Yes, that’s why Kobe don’t like him that much. He said, ‘I like LeBron.’ LeBron’s always been his guy.”
The forward Jayson Tatum’s trainer, Drew Hanlen, why the Lakers didn’t draft Tatum over Lonzo. That was said after Hanlen showed Bryant a video of Tatum unleashing a series of patented Kobe Moves, inferring that the Lakers should have drafted the guy who reminds people of Kobe.
"We actually showed Kobe (the video) yesterday, and he was like, 'Why didn't the Lakers draft him?'" Hanlen shared. "Which was pretty funny after seeing that. Jayson idolized Kobe."
That is basically the same thing as Lonzo saying he likes LeBron because they share a court vision that isn’t necessarily the same scoring approach that Kobe took.
As far as we can tell, nobody dislikes anybody else in these discussions about basketball preferences.
LaVar openly declared his son doesn’t need Kobe’s advice.
