Twitter Proclaims LaVar Ball Is A Prophet, As Lonzo Heads To L.A. Lakers

Yesterday night (June 22), LaVar Ball's epic prediction came true and his son, Lonzo, was drafted to the Los Angeles Lakers.
Naturally, LaVar -- who's become a star in his own right -- was beyond excited. For months now, we've learned about this father who always made these over-the-head claims about the things he believes his sons can -- and will -- do once they enter the National Basketball Association. Last night, he shut the haters up because he was right about his eldest son!
But, if you thought that LaVar's mouth was going to stop causing havoc, guess again. After Lonzo officially became drafted, the proud papa made another insane claim in an interview with a sports reporter. LaVar said that Lonzo will be taking the Lakers to the playoffs in the next season. You gotta love -- and hate -- this guy. Watch him speak below.

I can't even hate on Lavar Ball anymore. It's very apparent he has a strong faith in the potential of his sons. Can't be mad at that.
