#LavarBallSays- Ball In The Family (the Other Ball Kid Content)

This game was back to being the 2nd of the 5 BBB challenge games that LaVar cooked up so that accounts for the drop in competition and all the playing time and point vs when they play the league games.

That's nowhere near G league actually. More like not even top tier high school. LOL at LaVar doing whatever he can to make those kids look like they're really special already like Lonzo and they're not ready for it. Should have stayed in school both of them.

 

Well, he randomly did a pre and post sex snapachat thing once. He is a random dude.

 

This followed my post so I'll assume I'm at least included in your comment. I don't hate the kids. And not Gelo even for the China debacle since he "says" he wasn't the instigator in starting the shoplifting. I do hate LaVar for what he did to those 2 by ripping them from school and then his attacks on his one working son's employer and the fallout including making the Lakers in some FA's eyes a less attractive place to come play. This seems obvious and now rumblings are out there some players are mentioning it.

But the fact is this 5 game series over there is against a far lesser quality of players than even their particular mens league which is less than top Euro leagues. He schemed and financed and set up the exhibitions specifically so they could get some playing time (rather than in Melo's junior year in HS and Gelo practicing with Division 1 UCLA basketball. All of this done to promote the brand. It is what it is.

 

I'm a self confessed hater of how the Balls operate. I see no problems here.

Lots of bad choices, and I find it perfectly ok to not "praise" what is going on.

I also see Lonzo as acting differently, but if he starts to act like his Dad, you'll find I'm an equal opportunity hater. Just like Chicken Stew, I'm ok pointing out when our guys are sucking a bit, or if LLLLLebron is a douche, etc.

I'm kinda therealdeal if you think about it.

 

Hey, stop hating.

 

Lithuanian coach already tired of Melo jacking up 40 footers and "Little Chipmunk" smack.

What's LaVar's next "taking his ball and going home" (pun intended) move since .... "No coach is going to tell Melo to stop shooting"?

And this little tidbit from welcome to the real world .....

“He’s used to doing that stuff.(the 40 footers) They’re not used to training hard. You need to make them give 100 percent in practices.”

Lithuanian coach wants 'little chipmunk' LaMelo to stop shooting 40-footers

And this little gem at the end of your link's story, Kuz:

"Seskus added that once the Big Baller Brand Challenge Games end, LaMelo and brother LiAngelo will "see that we're a serious team. They will need to stop playing around."

 

Problem is that Melo developed plenty of bad habits because his dad/coach gave him a green light to jack up shots. His shooting form is not good as he shoots from his chest and is full on chicken winging it. I remember reading the Chino Hills new coach saying the basketball is a team sport and that he wouldn’t Melo jack up 40 shots a game or deep 3s. LaVar promptly pulled him out of school.

My son and I have watched vids of him and he makes some good plays but oft times it is horrible shot selection and no defense. He is more into flash...

 

I am tired of 3s. It is more fun when they are more rare. I woudl rather watch someone attempt some fancy dribbling or pretty much anything.

 

BBB set up game #3 out of 5. Brothers go off. Who wants to wager with me that when this series of LaVar's sponsored games is over he brings the kids home? Not going to put up with his kids sitting on the bench for the real games or the coach telling Melo to stop jacking 40 foot shots.
