    Pops wylin and just trying to cash in ASAP off his boys. That video showed me all I need to see to go along with his ridiculous statements about his oldest. What's pops résumé? Did he play? Willing to bet not past high school if so

    Lavar just tryna get that wack ads big baller brand out there. Tryna get all the attention on him and his kids and keep us talking about em. He doesn't truly believe he's better than Steph, he can't. He can believe he will be better 1 day but not now. Hell he needs to pray lianagelo is as good as Seth cuz he's the one that's gonna do 4 years and become a gym teacher.

    im wit you on this part, i would say he just a proud parent

    but dude said all this wasnt a mistake, he bred his sons, he always had a tall attractive woman on deck so he would end up breedin a hooper

    after he said that i was wonderin his kids gotta know his dad only stuck around to use em as a meal ticket, but then again they could flip it on some its a good thing 

    and then what type of position u put yo wife or bm in talkin stupid like that to a media source on video

    or maybe he just always say dumb ****

    all around he a clown usin his sons clout to talk crazy, he a lame flat out

    Uh Lonzo should give his Dad whatever he wants considering Lonzo probably wouldn't be in the league without him.

    Same for Shabazz Muhammad's pops.

    These guys are very much the reason why their sons are in the league. Theyve pushed these guys from as soon as soon as they could walk.

    They specifically chose tall athletic women procreate with to give their sons even better chances. Everything was calculated.

    For every success story, there are countless (too many to name) where the star player flamed out at some stretch reaching up to the NBA level. Look at all the kids that declare early with agents. It's sad. Most have strong headed fathers or mentors pushing them just as hard.

    For every Shabazz or Lonzo are 25 other kids who now hate their dads.


    Even lower than that, from HS to just division I, most kids arent totally self motivated. They have parents or coaches and such pushing them in practices. Mr. Ball is no different nor better than any other parent who happens to just as motivating but behind closed doors. I

    t reminds me of Bryce Harper in HS. He was hyped and there were stories of him practicing long hours with either his coach or his dad. Very tough drills. Now whether he still likes his coach/dad and for his own success, who knows. But he made it thanks in part to that sort of push. More than anything, those were silent sort of pushes. What we see today is a new level of parenting.

    he sidestepped the media and upstreamed his kids straight to the public

    they don't want the athletes to have their own anchor

    they wanna be the support aka leech

    they don't like it

    As long as he keeps saying outlandish stuff, they're will be people sports wise to interview him. They're looking for a story and something to get attention for viewers. If he gave the usual pc answers most parents give, he wouldn't be getting the attention he's getting. But as long as he keeps making outlandish statements, the mic and camera will find their way to him.

    Hopefully it doesn't do his sons a disservice in the long run.

    Yes, they said they wouldn't play for certain teams...but have they flat out disrespected another pro player by saying the quality of team play wouldn't drop off if their son stepped in someone else's *cough* steph curry *cough* shoes?

    LaVar's brother apparently got funky names too. Like one is named LaFrance. I got find the list. :lol:

    -But even though he is annoying, his sons seems like level headed cool dudes, especially Lonzo. And he has provided a good life from them too, so let that man cook.

    Gelo can dunk :lol:



    He just isn't the athlete Lonzo is.

    But Gelo looked better last year. If he worked his athleticism and ball handling, I thought he could comeback and prove his UCLA offer wasn't just a handout to get Lonzo, but he looks worst this year.

    He needs to lose weight.

    He means well. But all that extra stuff is just setting his kids up for unnecessary scrutiny and a bunch of people wanting them to fail to spite that dad. Added pressure and what not, especially for the younger ones still in high school.

    At the same time though like you said, he provided a good life for them and pushed them hard which helped them get to this level. It's a double edged sword I guess. Hopefully he tones it down a bit though if it becomes evident that his words end up backfiring for his sons though.
