LaVar Ball Told TMZ About LeBron Deal ... Back In February!
7/2/2018 6:37 AM PDTEXCLUSIVE
Call him BallStradamus ... because LaVar Ball told TMZ Sports the LeBron James to the Lakers thing was a done deal way back in February.
Of course, back then there were rumblings about LeBron coming out west, but it was far from official.
Still, when we saw LaVar at a Big Baller Brand pop-up shop, he made it clear that he had no doubts about LeBron's future.
"Who said it was a rumor? Didn't I tell you he was coming here," Ball said in February.
"Lonzo's gonna make him a better player."
LaVar even had a nickname for the new LeBron, Lonzo Ball duo -- and it's more about his son than James.
LaVar hasn't said anything since the move became official on Sunday -- but, if there's anything we can count on, it's Ball weighing in soon ... and definitely patting himself on the back for the prediction.
