LaVar Ball Insists Lakers Don't Want to Play for Coach Luke Walton Because He's 'Too Young'
LaVar Ball
LaVar Ball  thinks  he  knows exactly why the Los Angeles Lakers are doing so poorly this year:  He  says it is because the players donât want to play for a young coach.
In an interview with ESPN   Ball  claimed  he  has it all figured out.
You can see theyâre not playing for Luke no more â  Ball  said from a spa resort in Birstonas  where he is staying while his two youngest sons  LiAngelo and LaMelo  get ready to make their professional debuts with Lithuanian team Prienu Vytautas. âLuke doesnât have control of the team no more. They donât want to play for him.
Despite that even Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma has admitted that the team is âplaying like garbage â  LaVar Ball  thinks the Lakers are âa good team.â
Instead of blaming the players  though   Ball  is blaming the coach:
As evidence of this   Ball  cites the fact that the Lakers donât high-five on the court. Ball doubled-down on his belief that Walton is too young  and even said that if Walton had top players such as LeBron James on his team  he wouldnât be able to coach them either.
âEven if you bring in a LeBron or a [Paul] George  he canât coach them guys â  Ball  said. âWhat is he gonna tell them? Heâs too young. He has no control.â
