10 Most Outlandish Quotes by LaVar Ball

9.) "Lakers to the Playoffs his first year"

LaVar claimed that the Lakers would make it to the playoffs in Lonzo's rookie year

LaVar Ball might not be the only person who predicted at the start of last season stating that the Lakers will make it to the playoffs as there were many fanatics of the Lakers with the same opinion. But LaVar Ball made the claim that it was because of his son that the Lakers will make it to the playoffs in his rookie season.

"Lonzo Ball is gonna take the Lakers to the playoffs next year." (via CBS Sports)

The Los Angeles Lakers ended the 2017-18 season at the 11th spot in the Western Conference Finals with a record of 35-47 with thirteen wins away from landing the 8th spot. The season was not as bad as it looks as they did more than just draft Lonzo. They signed Kentavious Caldwell-Pope in free agency and acquired Brook Lopez and the pick they used on Kyle Kuzma in a trade that sent D'Angelo Russell and Timofey Mozgov to the Nets. They also selected Josh Hart during the draft. But the baby Lakers were nowhere near ready to content for a playoff spot.

LaVar Ball doubled down on his predictions on ESPN First Take stating that the Lakers will win 50 games in the season. And of course that didn't happen either.

Not only was Lonzo a reason for them not qualifying for the playoffs, but he struggled to find his form during the course of the season.
