“Realistically you can’t win no championship with three white guys because the foot speed is too slow,” he said in an interview with The Orange County Register. “I told Lonzo — ‘One of these games you might need to go 30 for 40 points.’ It turned out that was the one game. Then once they get to the Elite 8, they’re right there.”
On March 24, UCLA fell short to Kentucky (86-75), darkening their dreams of making it to the next round. According to the Register, LaVar Ball was possibly referring to three starters: TJ Leaf, Thomas Welsh and Bryce Alford.
