Following a private workout for the Los Angeles Lakers, standout prospect Lonzo Ball told reporters he finally reached his childhood dream: that of living vicariously through his father, Lavar Ball. The future lottery pick cited both his father’s skills at self-promotion and his fledgling apparel brand Big Ballers Brand as direct inspiration

“I’m just so proud of everything that he’s accomplished,” said the younger Ball, wincing as his father pushed him closer to the mic, “My father is truly a generational talent.”

As he stepped away from the microphone, the younger Ball could be heard saying, “Is that what you wanted me to say? How many times did I say Big Baller Brand?”

As of press time, LaVar Ball was not quoted for comment, despite repeatedly emphasizing that he was available.
