LaVar Ball is a firm believer in the idea of manifesting one’s destiny. He envisions something happening and then fully expects things to turn out in that precise fashion.
LaVar’s method worked in the case of getting Lonzo Ball to the Los Angeles Lakers, and proved to be successful in getting LaMelo Ball selected No. 3 overall despite taking an unconventional route to the NBA Draft.
Now LaVar has another vision: all three of his boys playing on one basketball team.
During an appearance on ‘The Truth’ podcast this past week, LaVar revealed that he expects to see his sons all play for the Charlotte Hornets one day.
“All three are set to go to Charlotte, I can guarantee it. Michael will be the first black owner to be a champion. Guaranteed … They have talent, them dudes can switch at the 1-2-3 … Three strong mindsets … Chemistry is just too good together,” he said.
For a brief stretch last week, LaVar had all three of his sons on NBA rosters. Lonzo is obviously now with the New Orleans Pelicans and LaMelo was drafted by the Hornets, but things took a turn when the Detroit Pistons decided to take a chance on LiAngelo.

Unfortunately, Detroit ultimately opted to release LiAngelo a few days later.
LaMelo, meanwhile, has stirred up some unique buzz over the past few games. He was scoreless in his first game but managed to tack on 10 rebounds and four assists. LaMelo then followed that up with a 12-point outing in his second game against the Toronto Raptors.

Lonzo, meanwhile, is gearing up for arguably the most important year of his professional career as he attempts to secure his first major, big dollar contract.
Will LaVar’s dream of all three sons playing for the Hornets come to fruition at some point?
Time will tell.
