LaVar Ball is a big believer in speaking things into existence, which is why when a Lithuanian journalist gave him a chance to add a little good mojo to one of his major predictions, he did not back down.
The journalist, who also happens to be a Lakers fan, asked LaVar to sign his Lakers hat during a press conference on Thursday. It was just one of the odd things that happened during the presser, which included a reporter asking LiAngelo Ball out on a date.
In any event, the Lakers hat was signed, but Ball was asked to include the date he thinks all three of his sons will be on the team. Of course, LaVar did not hesitate.

“And then when it comes to fruition, what you gonna do then?” Ball asked.
It was pretty funny to see LaVar do the math right there, figuring out that because LaMelo is only 16 he has to wait two more years until it can happen. So 2020 it is! It will be exciting to see if LaVar is right, and if this journalist has a very valuable hat down the road.
LaVar also mentioned the fact that he thinks LiAngelo Ball will go to the Lakers this season, which seems like a really bold prediction because LiAngelo is considered the least likely of the three sons to make the NBA. While there’s no guarantee any of this will amount to anything, it does seem like the Balls are enjoying their time in Lithuania, though.
