I can’t imagine being the son of this bloviator and allowing him to continue to talk and make every decision for me.
Poor kid.
I’d say “punk kid”. He’s a man. He should speak for himself, and stand up to his father.
Well... 20 years old is a young man. Can't say that I could put myself in his shoes. It's possible that Lonzo argues with his father in private. He also might love his father and/or feel indebted and loyal to him -- that would be understandable, wouldn't it? If Ivanka wants Donald to stop tweeting, what would she do? Tell him to knock it off, and if he doesn't, what do you do? -- tell him you hate him, tell him he's ruining your life, and then stomp away? Lonzo has a tough row to hoe with this dad, and standing up to him may come with complex consequences that maybe he is/ maybe he isn't ready to handle. The fact that he's playing NBA ball, and is still a promising player, is impressive. He seems to be doing pretty well under the circumstances.
And how in the world do any of us know that Lavar is still making every decision for Lonzo? I'll bet anything that this isn't true.
