Love him or hate him--most people hate him, for good reason: he makes Kris Kardashian look like June Cleaver--the dude achieved his dream. His oldest is now a Laker. Next up, putting his other two sons through the one-and-done joke which is the NCAA and land them on NBA teams.

In an era where 90% of the players on that stage last night were raised by Grandma or maybe a mom who managed not to abandon their boys, seeing a dad this involved with his kids is refreshing. OK, yeah, he's probably living vicariously through them. And, yeah, he's probably riding some coattails. But, come on. At least the Ball Boys know who their dad is.
 

Agreed. I see many of the liberal media and female reporters objecting to Lavar Ball. Their hypocrisy is showing. They claim black men need to be more present in their children lives yet attack Lavar as a bad influence?

Yep. Stunning bit of hypocrisy from the usual suspects. He's a strong male role model...which of course makes the crowd who hates strong males come out of the woodwork.
 
Word in LA is that Magic is going to have a chat with him and tell him to STFU.

Because it is impossible to be both present and a bad influence? They aren't mutually exclusive

Good luck Lavar said he could beat Michael Jordan 1v1 despite only being able to average 2.2 ppg at a d2 school. He is beyond having a little chat.

I believe he would be doing that anyway. He has two more kids to promote into the NBA.

basketball vs 1-1 is very different. Many people could probably beat Michael Jordan 1-1. He's what, 60-years old?

He claimed he could have beat Michael Jordan in his prime not now. And in his prime there isn't 1 player who would could even come close to beating Jordan 1 on 1.

He's delusional, claiming he could beat Jordan.
 
Bucky said:
The fact that Jordan was silient on the matter is extremely telling.

I would probably buy a pair of BBB. Why buy cheap products from China when you can get high-quality BBB shoes?

I honestly wish that man and his brand the best. I absolutely love what his is doing. And, if he does somehow manage to raise three NBA stars, would that not be the ****?

His middle son imo does not have what it takes to make it in the nba. His youngest son imo reminds me of Steph Curry.

It is very hard to get into the NBA, and even harder to be a star. I don't know enough about boys 2 and 3 to make any call on their talent. But, if they are all 6'6" and up with handles, lordy lord.

His youngest son scored like 96 points in high school. He take a lot of those whacky 3 pointers like curry.

6'5", 220. 13 threes. :shock:

UCLA Bound like Lonzo.

LiAngelo Ball, Chino Hills, Shooting Guard

That's the middle brother.

Baby B is 15.

The youngest is only like 160 pounds however the NBA has shifted more towards athleticism than height.

Dwight Howard used to be a top 5 player in the NBA and now nobody wants him. Andre Drummond is on the trade block and players like Kevin Love are being phased out of the NBA.
 

Yeah. I'm reading about the young son right now. LaMelo. :lol:

Dude scored 92 after his older brother dropped 72. He may end up being the best one of the three. Dude is not even 16 yet and playing like a senior. He'll bulk up in the next few years. And, if he keeps up his game, he'll be an amazing prospect in 2 or 3 years.
