It seems like top NBA draft prospect Lonzo Ball's father, Lavar, is in hot water for the way he handled his interview on FS1 Wednesday. Ball was seen dissing Jason Whitlock and then telling Kristine Leahy to "stay in your lane."
However, these videos don't tell the whole side of the story. What led to Ball acting this way towards Whitlock and Leahy?
Well, here you go:

After watching the video, I really don't blame Ball for acting the way he did. Could he have handled it better? Absolutely. But if Whitlock and Leahy are going to openly criticize who he is as a parent and person, then they should be able to take the heat too.
Leahy sounded like she had an agenda against Ball that whole interview. Saying things like "Are you threatening me?" and "You don't respect women" were out of line.
Others were saying the same thing:
@FootBasket She treated him like he's an idiot the got annoyed when he did the same back to her. Don't see what else she expected?— A. (@MrJayBreezy) May 18, 2017
@FootBasket See how she flip it.— Wes Boazman (@NewDawgFlo) May 17, 2017
'You have to market to women' lady, the business just started.
'Are you threatening me?' I heard that one before.

Leahy ended up having a response to all that happened:

It doesn't seem like anyone is buying it, though:
@KelliTennant @KristineLeahy Yeah, by questioning his parenting skills? Saying his kids are afraid of him? Probably making them all play basketball? Wow!! Ok Kelli.— Marland Lowe (@MarlandLowe) May 18, 2017
@KristineLeahy You had an agenda today. The sooner you and Colin admit that, the better. VERY contrived...@ColinCowherd— Sportsyackontap (@sportsyack) May 17, 2017
