I am so glad no one from that family represents any school I've gone to or team I support. How embarrassing, imagine actually having to somewhat defend these people.
OT: Lavar Ball pulling LiAngelo from UCLA
- Thread starter MWes11
- Start date
BTW, did anyone notice the stats from the 3 player's that go into trouble,,,Crazy but all three kids had exactly the same stats...No Points, No Rebounds, No assists but 3 steals combined.....
I hope they do play abroad. They'll have to sign a contract that stipulates they must finish the season. And when Lavar pulls them off their teams for some perceived random transgression, they'll be sued or thrown in jail for violating the terms of their contract.
Ball is a joke, he cannot coach or teach basketball, just look at this kids, they are fundamentally the worse players I have ever seen. Their shots look like they were developed from watching 3rd graders trying to shoot on a 10' goal. The youngest one can only shoot, can't do anything else. Heck I played high school ball with a guy who could drain 30'ers all day long, but he never got a scholarship.
“There’s no need to break down a kid’s spirit for making a mistake,” Ball told TMZ.
For those who may not be able to read between the lines he is saying "Ain't nobody going to suspend a Big Baller".

I understand he signed a contract with a team in China. They think he will lead the league in steals.
truth be told this kid prob could not stay eligible academically and he is blaming the suspension for the reason for pulling the kid out of school, I mean if he hasn't returned to class he probably wasn't going to class to begin with. this guy has pumped his kids head full of all kinds of crap that they are willing to forgo their only real option at getting drafted. hope big brother needs 2 paid entourage members
this is just bad parenting.
I don't know the names of all these kids...but only one is assumed to be a guaranteed NBA player...
He better earn his credits and...and learn normal life.

Their father is trying to market his sons before really testing them and will probably have the same results as the Optigrab.
LiAngelo isn't going to play in the league and never was. So that's pretty moot. It's LeMelo that might be hurt by all this. He's good, and for as much as you can say any 15 year old might play in the NBA, he's got a shot to be a pro.
If they rush the process, he'll get gobbled up. Playing a year or two at UCLA or even overseas would be fine, but if Lavar tries to push him into the draft with the OAD gone in a couple years, it may end poorly.
Honestly, I'm not sure how long this whole circus can last anyway. Lonzo will be a longtime player in the league, but we aren't seeing him associated with Lavar as much as the other two at this point, and Melo is a few years away from college/pro hoops. I don't know how they hang around long enough for us to still care.

UCLA allowed one side show last year, looks like they would learn their lesson. Like Jabbar said they are making a joke out of the school allowing this clown and his family to even have a voice in any situation involving the school. What I think is strange is that none of the kids have the guts or smarts to get the hell away from the lead clown, and the mom is so afraid of being backhanded she keeps quiet, sad situation for her. How do they exist, how have they grown up with an idiot for a father.
Now Oakland University's coach sez he will take Liangelo in a heartbeat, must not be very smart, does he not know he would get Lavar too. He will be a short tenured coach if he signs him, has this coach been under a rock or is he mentally challenged.
What the hell is it going to take for the media to start openly saying that crazy ***-hat needs to leave those boys alone? Let LiAngelo make his own damn decision? Rest assured if a particular condition was not in play they would have, long ago. Reminds me of the Williams sisters crazy old man. Seems like I recall the pro tennis tour telling him he was no longer welcome. Best thing that ever happened for those girls.
While he is marketing his brand, and some might interpret that as being a genius, it's not going to help his kids in the end. So a few more people know about LilAngelo leaving UCLA and normally no one would know his name. How's that going to translate to a product, or a better life? It's not, in the end he's probably just going to blow an opportunity at a UCLA degree and career, something he wont match anywhere else.
The only way any of this works is if Ball in LA lasts in the league and has a super career. If he fades or becomes just another guard in a league of good guards, it's all going to fall apart.
I said at one time he was probably a good father, that what Steven A said was out of line when he went to his race as a black father. Considering the alarming statistics on fatherless households, I still think he was slightly pout of line, but still way more correct than I ever thought.

So the only punishment the kid got was an indefinite suspension? He wasn’t actually kicked off the team?
He could have served the suspension and moved on. I don’t think any of those kids CAN stand up to their father. He’s a fool
How many overseas teams will be willing to even look at LiAngelo given his record? There will be no NBA
Just wow

I'll give Lafool a year and he will probably be incarcerated for tax evasion or something equally retarded.
perhaps the worst part of this is the national publications and social media that has been written and read by people in professional and college basketball essentially saying how this kid sucks and will never and more importantly was never going to play in the NBA.
No matter how hard this kid works, now matter how much he improves, he's is now going to have to do 3X as much as any other kid to get consideration while if Dad would have just focused on making the Lakers miserable, this kid might have quietly put together a career at UCLA, studded out his Senior year and had a path to the NBA.
That ain't happening at Oakland U.

I doubt that either one of them are good enough to play anywhere, that would be really funny, his boys just ain't good enough. The one in the NBA might not be around long either with the carnival that follows him around.
LaVar should go check out China and a supplier to make his shoes. I think LilAngelo, and Lemelo wishes he would go to China and be locked up for abuse of his children. What a total jerk!
