LaVar Ball doesn’t care what he says and for some reason, he’s still talking even after UCLA’s NCAA tournament loss to Kentucky.
Ball has managed to make an even more controversial statement this time. He says UCLA lost to the Wildcats because they had too many white players on the court.
According to Ball, “White guys” don’t have the foot speed to play at a championship level.
Here is an excerpt:
“Realistically you can’t win no championship with three white guys because the foot speed is too slow,” Ball said, per Clay Fowler of the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin. “I told Lonzo—’One of these games you might need to go for 30 or 40 points.’ It turned out the that was the one game. Then once they get to the Elite Eight, they’re right there.”
The father of UCLA star Lonzo Ball likely was referring to Bryce Alford, TJ Leaf and Thomas Welsh, three white starters for the Bruins.
I have a feeling Larry Bird begs to differ.
