Steph Curry shows total class in responding to Lonzo Ball's dad: 'I wish his kids the best'

LaVar Ball, the father of UCLA freshman Lonzo Ball, caused quite the stir when he twice claimed that his son is better than two-time NBA MVP Steph Curry.

While LaVar and Charles Barkley have exchanged words the past week, Curry had no interest in starting drama over such an obviously ridiculous statement from LaVar. When asked about LaVar’s claim on Wednesday, Curry declined to respond but wished LaVar’s kids the best.

Curry said:

“I don’t want to talk about that. I wish his kids the best and I know they’ll be great NBA players. That’s their job. That’s it.”

When asked if LaVar was putting undue pressure on his kids, Curry continued:

“Every person should parent their kid as they feel they should.”

Curry had every opportunity to fire back at LaVar, but he deserves credit for how he dealt with the situation. Over the past few months, he’s heard the outlandish comments from LaVar and has handled it like a pro. He knows he’s way better than Lonzo, but why even entertain the argument?

Nicely done, Steph.
