LeBron James, Lonzo Ball Will Win Lakers Championships, LaVar Ball Says

The Los Angeles Lakers will win many championships now that LeBron James and Lonzo Ball are in the same team, says the latter's father LaVar.

James agreed a four-year deal with the Lakers on Sunday with his move instantly making the Los Angeles franchise go from a 35-47 team last season to potential title contenders next season.

The Lakers would go on to add the likes of Lance Stephenson, Javale McGee, Rajon Rondo and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope on one-year deals which could pave the way for Kawhi Leonard to join from the San Antonio Spurs as a free agent next year.

Regardless of what happens with the Leonard situation, it is certainly safe to assume the Lakers will return to playoff action next year for the first time since 2013 where they could end up facing a Golden State Warriors side who just added another All-Star to their team in DeMarcus Cousins.

LaVar, who has long spoken of how talented his sons are, is excited about the prospect of Lonzo and James playing together and believes not even the Warriors would be able to stop them.

"The Warriors can sign Boogie [DeMarcus Cousins], Prince, Michael Jordan, anybody they want! They still ain't gonna win with this team right here — the Lakers with LeBron!" LaVar told TMZ, as quoted on Bleacher Report. "You don't give my son the best player in the game and don't think he gonna win no championships!"

However, that's not all the outspoken patriarch of the Ball family had to say about James. He would even add that Lonzo, the No. 2 pick in the NBA Draft last year who turns 21 later this year, would help the 33-year-old play better.

"Lonzo and him are going to fit together like a glove," LaVar said in a recent video, as per the Washington Post. "Lonzo makes everybody better, including him. Lonzo’s going to get along with anybody he plays with. He’s just got that special gift."

"Lonzo’s not 6'1 or 6'2 like Kyrie [Irving]. Lonzo’s not ball-dominant, where he’s just dribbling the ball while you’re watching him try to do a crossover and make a layup down the lane. Anybody would enjoy playing with my boy, it’s always been like that," he added.

Despite the hype from his father, Lonzo did not have the best debut season with the Lakers in 2017/18. While he finished with a decent 10.2 points, 7.0 rebounds and 7.3 assists per game, he struggled with injury a lot while also going through bad patches of form.

"Obviously, there is pressure being the No. 2 pick, all the stuff my dad [LaVar] said, how I'm supposed to come in and change the whole program," Lonzo reflected after the season as he gave himself a B. "My only goal is to win a championship as soon as possible. Everybody wants an MVP or Defensive Player of the Year award. I want a ring."

Playing alongside James, however, could go a long way in his development as Lonzo notably reacted positively to the news that the three-time NBA champion had signed with the Lakers.

And James is reportedly excited to play with him as well.
