Lakers News: LaVar Ball Calls Out Underperforming Ex-LA Head Coach

He's back with a vengeance.

Former Lakers head coach Luke Walton wasn't a popular man during his time manning LA's sidelines and fans from everywhere still aren't over his underwhelming tenure. 

One of these fans is infamous media superstar Lavar Ball who continued his trend of hot takes galore with a recent take on the disgraced purple and gold head coach. 

"Everybody that was on that team and I said what they were supposed to do, is doing that now," boasted LaVar. "He tried to make Jordan Clarkson a goddamn point guard. I said he the best sixth man off the bench. Let Julius Randle run free, he the strongest and the fastest. Let him be a bull in the China shop. Now he over there in New York doing what he do. Same thing with Ingram. Everybody is their right spots and being very successful. The only person ain't in the right spot? Who I was talking about? Tell me where Luke Walton is now. Nobody knows. But he couldn't coach, like I said."

Ball made a name for himself through propping up his three sons as the next great basketball stars and tearing down others who couldn't help them on their way there. 

Though some of the words out of his mouth bordered on delusion, the hype he garnered was enough to turn two of his sons into top 3 NBA draft picks and a third on a G-League roster. 

Getting one son into the NBA is a dream come true for any parent but Ball's methods, scorched-earth or not, got two of his own to reach such heights. 

Arguments can be had about whether or not slandering the former Lakers' head coach is fair or not, but the bottom line remains that Ball continues to make headlines no matter what.
