Lonzo Ball pulled his hamstring during UCLA’s season-ending loss to Kentucky in the Sweet 16, his father LaVar Ball revealed Thursday, adding it prevented him from taking over for teammates that lacked the athleticism required to win a national championship.
“
Realistically you can’t win no championship with three white guys because the foot speed is too slow,” LaVar Ball said. “I told Lonzo - ‘One of these games you might need to go for 30 or 40 points.’ It turned out that was the one game. Then once they get to the Elite 8, they’re right there.”
LaVar Ball was presumably referring to UCLA starters TJ Leaf, Bryce Alford and Thomas Welsh, who combined for 39 points in the third-seeded Bruins’ 86-75 loss in the NCAA tournament on March 24. UCLA’s freshman point guard finished his final college game with 10 points, eight assists and four turnovers while Ball’s counterpart, Kentucky’s De’Aaron Fox, scored 39 points, a record for a freshman in the NCAA tournament.

Interesting that the 2018 UNC team had white players and they managed to WIN you racist POS!
