I’m sure there is plenty of “white guy rage” about LaVar Ball’s comments. Go check the comment section of this story and you will see the rage.
I’m not going to try and defend in any way LaVar Ball’s comments. He seems a very insecure, little man who is seeking publicity any way he can get it, much like a Kardashian. Any press coverage is good press coverage, right? His comment is also absolutely absurd when you see a shining example of a “slow white guy” team like Wisconsin who beat undefeated, primarily black Kentucky two years ago in the tourney.
That being said, I don’t think the world should punish Lonzo for the sins of his father. Maybe he was a bit petulant after UCLA lost in the tourney this year, but let’s try to remember that this is a teenager we’re talking about here. And when you look at his play on the court, he is absolutely an unselfish player. The guy averaged nearly 7 assists a game during the season, and he had 9 assists in the loss to Kentucky. If I were an NBA GM, I’d snatch him up quickly. It’s not like 90% of NBA players aren’t primadonnas already. These guys have been special all of their lives, and they have had people telling them how special they are. Championship players are the ones that learn to overcome their primadonnatude.
