Three days after Lonzo Ball’s UCLA career came to an end, he was right back in the spotlight with his father, LaVar, by his side.

LaVar and Lonzo appeared on ESPN’s First Take on Monday, and the outspoken — perhaps even manipulative — LaVar was again the center of attention.

Lonzo, a projected top-5 pick, was asked to talk about his father while his father sat right next to him. At times, it was uncomfortable television. Lonzo wore Big Baller Brand apparel (his dad’s company) and didn’t seem too excited to pose as a marketing tool. LaVar entered the set like he was Vince McMahon while Lonzo quietly walked behind.

Still, Lonzo was a good sport and engaged in the questioning. He joked how LaVar never loses a game of one-on-one because his father cheats.

Last month, LaVar walked back on a claim that his son would only play for the Lakers. On Monday, Lonzo himself gave a more grounded response.

Lonzo said:

“At the end of the day, I’ll play for any team. NBA is NBA. It would be a blessing to be able to play for the Lakers just because it’s in LA — I’m from here, my whole family’s here.”

Even LaVar put aside his bombastic personality and offered a reasonable critique of his son going forward — the same son he claimed was better than Steph Curry.

After LaVar’s first appearance on First Take, there was criticism aplenty for ESPN, but Monday’s episode was a dramatic improvement over last week’s shouting match between LaVar and Stephen A. Smith.
