****The Everything LaVar Ball Thread****

Lavar had them boys in defined roles from the get go :lol:. How dope would it be to be 11 years old....and playing 17u with Your 14 year old brother and 15yr old brother.





Lavar really IS Chino Hills man :lol:

That ***** brought his entire philosophy and Sons tho that school....and put that entire city on the map.

Well, he wasn't in HS.

Secondly, I was speaking on his style of play.

Being a tweener.

Strength at that level.

And what Matt Barnes is NOW, is nowhere near what he was in UCLA.

Other than PJ Tucker, his game has changed as much as anyone I have seen from the NCAA to the NBA

PJ Tucker just added range. Rebounding/Defense was already there.

You can say that (range) about a lot of guys who have transitioned from college to the NBA.

What did Jason Smith say when asked about his 3pt shot? Evolve or die. Simple as that.

Landscape of the league changed more than these players. They just had to adapt.

PJ Tucker was a POWER forward. He was literally a rebounding hustle player that scored dirty buckets.

He was bigger as well. He wasn't guarding wings yet. He was just a tough/hustle type dude that scored buckets close range.

The league changing doesn't negate what I said.

They still changed their games drastically.

If I remember correctly, he was in a starting front court with Buckman/LA. Interchanging between the 3/4. OF COURSE him being 6'5" is not going to translate to him being a 4 in the NBA. Thus, he had to change his game. Like add range. This is why he was a journeyman before settling in the NBA much later than when he was drafted.

Bigger? What?

You never concede **** :lol:
 
He slimmed down from his playing weight at Texas.

I don't concede what?

I said PJ Tucker changed his game from NCAA to NBA to a large degree.

Not really sure how that is arguable. But YOU are arguing it and now in turn are telling ME I never concede?

Ok. We can dead it.
 
Gonna be interesting to see if all 3 of them make the NBA and how much they contribute.
Same goes for other highly rated high school recruits
 
The funniest thing to me is that Jrue and Justin Holiday's youngest brother Aaron, shares the backcourt with Lonzo :lol:

They have a shot at getting 3 brothers in the league at the same time.

Justin Hamilton's lil bro is also in the same backcourt. Family ties.

*Jordan Hamilton

But does Lil Holiday have a legit shot?

I think he does.  He's short, but has a pretty long wingspan and can shoot the lights out from everywhere. His game is similar to that of Yogi Ferrell.  I think there's a role for him. Especially with his family hoops pedigree

I'm not sure if we're talking about the same guy. Do you even remember what he looked like at Texas?

From '05:

Son looks like he goes about 15-20 lbs heavier now. He's bulked up. Big time. He didn't slim down :lol:

Saw the vid a few pages back on Lebron clowning Lonzo's jumper. If that is what he was indeed doing, it's beyond petty. On one hand, you come at homie's dad, and for good reason. Now u taking shots at his son WHO SAID NOTHING ABOUT YOU? If there was ever a high road to take, Lebron should have done it after he addressed Lavar's comments.

You don't think people are reading WAY too much into this?

How many times have any of us hooped and shot like someone else.

Of course he knew he was on camera so he did it with a purpose, but I take it as LeBron just being LeBron and nothing malicious

No...I don't think people are reading too much in to this. If he's taking issue with a family member of Lonzo Ball, then don't do/say anything after you kind of deaded it wiht the "father to father" statement.

Mocking homie's J...well, that's just adding fuel to the fire.

First take, that show on FS1, etc., probably jumping at the bit to get Lavar back in the studio to get his take on Lebron's warmup routine. That **** doesn't happen, Lavar ain't gonna be called up to be a guest.

If folks want this guy to shut up or go away, don't give him material.

yea hes a clown if he was doing that to make fun of lonzo
 
Why are y'all assuming LeBron is shading lonzo?

Its a funny looking jumper, it's fun to try and do it. I was playing pick up last week and cats were trying it I'm between games. Not to shade just because it's fun to use.
 
Lonzo jumper is fun to intimate. I been doing for a while now while goofing around, I have gotten pretty good at it.

I can release it quickly, get tons of arc and backspin, it is just that have no control over where the ball is going, sometimes I don't even hit backboard :lol:

it's a fairly common thing, to try to imitate someone's shot.

lonzo's an adult who will be lebron's opponent (or teammate) in a few months. no problem with them going at it. that's who lebron should be competing with, not LaVar.

all this talk is great set-up for the actual on-the-court play next season.
