Am I a bad person if...

I'm rooting for the Lakers to pass on Lonzo Ball?

The last several years have been real hard to be a Lakers fan. If they take Lonzo Ball, that may be the last straw for me. As 17ed up as that franchise is, I just know they're going to take him though. It's been a long time since the Showtime glory days.

Heck, they won two titles in a row in 2009-2010. That seems like an eternity ago.

Not at all. If they don't take him, it would be interesting to see how far he would fall and what his loud mouth daddy would do when his son's rights were owned by someone other than his one preferred team.

He really needs to work out for more teams than just the Lakers. If he doesn't, that just gives a front office reason enough to pass on him. I'm not an NBA guy, but I don't think you can go wrong with Fultz, Josh Jackson, Tatum, Fox, or Markannen. i doubt Ball falls below all of that group if the Lakers do pass on him.

I don't know that much about him, but his dad alone would make me pass on him.

He (Lavar) is a blatant racist, but for some reason ESPN chooses to ignore that. If Kevin Love's dad would have made similar comments about his black teammates in college, he would have been blackballed by every NBA franchise.
