VIDEO: Lonzo Ball Has Arrived

Ball showcased his court vision and instincts in Sunday night’s game against the Dallas Mavericks by authoring a sweet slap pass to a streaking Alex Caruso for two easy points. It was the kind of thing that could make a basketball fan swoon, and a Lakers fan feel something even more powerful.

The younger Ball was always going to relegate the family patriarch to second fiddle with his play. And, depending who you ask, that could be a very good thing. It’s striking how fast the process has moved but, then again, actions speak louder than words.
