SNL: ‘LaVar Ball’ says Lakers plan to start LeBron and his ‘four’ sons

By ADAM ZAGORIA

“LaVar Ball” appeared on Saturday Night Live and said the Lakers plan to start a new lineup featuring LeBron James and his “four” sons.

“What they need is a great coach and I got the perfect choice. Me,” Kenan Thompson, aka LaVar Ball, said on SNL. “I’d be an incredible coach, man. The first thing I’m going to do is make some personnel changes. Yeah, we going to be unstoppable with a starting lineup of LeBron, my oldest son Lonzo, my middle boy LiAngelo, my youngest LaMelo, and my other son who was recently rescued from ‘The Matrix’ LaMorpheus.”
