Dolfan in NYC Posted May 2, 2017 Author Share Posted May 2, 2017 Follow up on LaVar Ball... he's got two other sons who are good at basketball too. They play in high school at Chino Hills High. And Ball's just gotten their coach fired. His record in his single season as HC was 30-3. Oh, this man is going to be a pleasure to deal with at the NBA level.

Brian Fowler Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 The middle son isn't really considered a major NBA prospect. The youngest dropped 92 points in a varsity game this year at 15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What message does firing that coach send other than they have no spine or integrity whatsoever. Who gives a flying fuck if his kids go elsewhere, it's fucking high school basketball not the NBA. Being an institution of learning might be more important no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being an institution of learning might be more important no? It could be argued that losing three games when you have a player on your team capable of scoring 92 points in a game is unacceptable. Here is a short list of things that are worse than Lavar Ball in the last 100 years of basketball. Murder of Patrick Dennehy Hank Gathers Malice in the Palace Gilbert Arenas bringing guns to work Kermit Washington almost killing Rudy Tomjonavich Most of Bobby Knight's career The fact that the NCAA makes billions off of March Madness, but the players don't get paid Len Bias That time that dude's leg broke and the bone was sticking out...I think he played for Louisville umm...that time someone killed a dude with a table leg in a pickup game Ron Artest was playing in Shaq's acting Derrick Rose's knee turning to dust as soon as he was reaching his prime All the random dudes in the 90s who's knees turned to dust as they were reaching their prime 99995515919856165015616516506506515612665.

It was clearly meant as a slur implying that white people are slow/inferior players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think that your average person isn't going to care what their friend's crazy dad said especially something that's been around for at least three decades. Your average pick up game (and I'm not talking about a bunch of old dudes at a YMCA) has some nasty, vile shit that would hurt the regular person's feelings. He isn't their coach or AD. He's a sports dad, and most of them truly don't give a shit about anyone except their kids. He's like literally ALL the dudes who had sons who played ball when I was growing up. I come from a small ass town Mississippi, and there is at least three or four of those Lavar Ball type dudes (especially around tournament time) at every HS basketball game. So I know in Los Angeles, there have to be hundreds of those dudes running around. If someone is offended that he said white boys are slow on the court...shit life is going to get way tougher than that. That's a goddamn blip on the radar.

The problem is they look like Kobe's shoe, but with a knock off Boost sole at the heel. So the sneaker community, who are the only people this shoe could be marketed too, see this as a overly expensive immitation of brand name shoes. They're better looking than Steph Curry's, so that's something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirFozzie Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 After watching his father introduce a $500 shoe, ridicule Michael Jordan because "He can't sell no $500 shoe", and now going at Kobe, I wouldn't draft Lonzo Ball in the top 3 or 5, Too much Todd Marinovich going on there. Deadly to a team's sense of togetherness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 There was an ESPN insider article last week detailing the Fultz and Lonzo dilemma. It broke down their projected stats and it came off to me that Fultz isn't a spectacular prospect and doesn't rank all that favourably compared to other first overall picks but he's safe. Lonzo has some stat projections that would have him jump into the league as an impact player and could develop into a top player. Fultz was a guy that's said to work in any system whereas Lonzo's usefulness will depend more on how the team plays and who's around him. I'd take Ball, daddy issues and all.
