Lonzo Ball's father wants sons to be better than Michael Jordan

No pressure or anything, but Lavar Ball wants one of his sons to be the next Michael Jordan - only better.

The Ball family is already ascending to national fame, mainly thanks to UCLA star freshman Lonzo Ball. The Bruins guard has two younger brothers, LiAngelo and LaMelo, who are currently tearing up the high school scene.

"My boys want to be the best players ever," Ball told TMZ. "People don't want to think that far in front. I told them since day one, since they've been babies: somebody gotta be better than (Michael) Jordan, why not you?"

In that case, Lonzo has his work cut out for him. The good news, however, is that Lavar believes the NBA will be easier for his son, who's averaging 14.9 points and eight assists per game, while leading UCLA to one of the top rankings in the nation.

"It is going to get easier for Lonzo as we go," his father said. "When he gets to the pros, the game is even faster and that's when he's at his best."
