Lonzo Ball on LaVar Calling Him 'Damaged Goods': 'It's Always Love at the End'

New Orleans Pelicans guard Lonzo Ball does not harbor any hard feelings toward his father after LaVar called him "damaged goods" on the show Ball in the Family earlier this month.

On a Friday morning episode of The Woj Podcast, Lonzo said:

"That was the most popular scene; it was everywhere.

"That's part of life. I'm growing up. He has his ways, I have mine. We just got into it. That's what fathers and sons do as time goes on. At the end of the day, it's always love at the end. I know he loves me, I love him. We're just not always going to agree on everything. That's all it was."

During Ball in the Family, Lonzo questioned whether the family should change the name of the Big Baller Brand amid a lawsuit he filed against former co-founder and manager Alan Foster, who allegedly "fleeced them of millions of dollars."

LaVar rejected the notion and likened the situation to someone telling him to change Lonzo's name to "Alfonzo" because of him being "damaged goods for the last two years":

Lonzo has been sidelined for 65 of his 164 career games. He was limited to just 47 games in 2018-19 with an ankle injury, which prevented him from playing after Jan. 19.

Of note, Lonzo recently went on The LightHarted Podcast and called out his signature Big Baller Brand ZO2 Prime sneaker for being poor quality:

He also told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski:

"It was different, but at the same time, we were trying to build a brand. I had to wear them. But there was no way we could play in the shoes I had in summer league. There was no way they would make it to the NBA court."

It's been an eventful stretch for Lonzo. Back in April, he signed with Creative Artists Agency. He was also traded from the Los Angeles Lakers to New Orleans in the Anthony Davis deal during the summer.

The 21-year-old told Wojnarowski:

"What makes it easier is I'm controlling everything now. You really can't tell me what to do. It's my life, my career. I'm making all the decisions now. I chose to go to CAA. I think me becoming my own man is going to make it easier, honestly."
