http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/...pect-deaaron-fox-joins-shut-lavar-ball-chorus NBA prospect De'Aaron Fox joins chorus of anti-LaVar Ball sentiment De'Aaron Fox, the likely NBA lottery pick from Kentucky, figures he should have been well-versed in LaVar Ball's act long before the rest of the nation's sports-minded public. But Fox, speaking to Sports Illustrated as part of an in-depth profile last month, said that he knew fellow draft prospect and former Lonzo Ball from high school but had before this past season been unfamiliar with his father. "In the last year, he became relevant for some reason," Fox told Sports Illustrated. "When I knew Lonzo in high school, I'd never seen his dad before. He went crazy this year. I guess when your son a lottery pick, that gives you a lot of confidence." Like many Americans with a television, radio or Wi-Fi, Fox has grown accustomed to the senior Ball's likeness -- and message. Fox averaged 16.7 points and led the SEC in assists with 4.6 per game as a freshman for the Wildcats, who ousted Ball's UCLA Bruins in this year's Sweet 16 of the NCAA tournament. Fox said he was even partly motivated for the game by taking a "shut LaVar Ball up" mindset, having previously co-opted a "kill mode all the time" approach. Fox said the attention the Balls have drawn to themselves will result in the resolve of opponents to stifle a rookie Ball. "He put a target on his neck," Fox told SI, adding that everyone will be gunning for Ball. "Not just the great point guards," Fox said. "Every point guard. Like Patrick Beverley's not going to do it offensively, but he's gonna be like, 'Yo this kid's not about to get past halfcourt.' "
said it before and I'll say it again... I want nothing to do with this family... Dad's obviously a douche - and typically the apple dont fall far from the tree... jus sayin...
i wouldnt mind having the greatest basketball player of all time lavar ball on my team. durant and lebron cant handle him. he's too big, too strong!
Actually Lonzo has come off as being a pretty level-headed guy who seems annoyed by his dad's act. Nothing suggests he would be a locker room problem whatsoever.
