LaVar Ball believes the only reason Kobe Bryant suggested the Los Angeles Lakers should have drafted Jayson Tatum instead of Lonzo Ball how to buy mt in nba 2k20 because his son is a self-proclaimed LeBron James fan.

Last week, Pure Sweat CEO Drew Hanlen revealed in an interview with Fox Sports 1 that Bryant wondered why the Lakers opted to draft Ball instead of Tatum in the 2017 NBA draft.

The 16-time champions were linked with a number of prospects and ended up selecting Ball with the number two overall pick, while the Boston Celtics drafted Tatum with the third overall pick.

The latter has been working with Pure Sweat through the summer and Hanlen said Kobe was impressed with what he saw of Tatum.

“We actually showed Kobe it yesterday, and he was like, ‘Why didn’t the Lakers draft him?’ Which was pretty funny after seeing that. Jayson idolized Kobe.”

The comments were never likely to please Ball Sr., who suggested Bryant is simply jealous his son prefers LeBron to him. Ball and LeBron will be teammates this season, after the three-time NBA champion signed for the Lakers at the beginning of last month.
