The most talked about person in the NBA isn't even in the NBA. FHM Magazine's Nick Dimengo discusses the media firestorm surrounding Lavar Ball and his increasingly outspoken comments about his son's team, the Los Angeles Lakers.
The pressure is mounting on Ball's eldest son, Lonzo, to publicly repudiate his father. Dimengo speculates as to whether the Lakers are inching closer to making a statement themselves. The controversy stems from the NBA dad's comments that Lakers' coach Luke Walton has lost his team's support.
