LaVar Ball: Have Lonzo, Curry switch places and see what happens
LaVar Ball, the father of UCLA star freshman Lonzo Ball, doubled down on Saturday night, when he once again claimed his son is better than reigning two-time MVP Steph Curry of the NBA's Golden State Warriors.
"I have the utmost confidence in what my boy is doing," the elder Ball started. "Let me tell you right now, he better than Steph Curry to me. Here, put Steph Curry on UCLA's team right now and put my boy on Golden State and see what happens."

When the commentator asked LaVar about his previous comments, Lonzo's father continued with, "I'll double down on it again. Like I said, if I don't know what my boy is about I'm not going to make that statement.
"Steph's going to have problems trying to guard my boy. Let them play 1-on-1."
LaVar's passion and hype doesn't just go towards Lonzo, as he thinks just as highly of his other two younger sons.
"I think all three of my boys will be in the (NBA) All-Star game one day," LaVar said. "On the fact that they didn't all of a sudden get good. They've been from babies, being better and better, and when they get to that top level they're just going to turn it up even more."
