But goddamn if his takes on nearly *everything* aren't insanely embarrassing.

It works. What other dad gets a spot with Screamin A.

There was an article that interviewed former WSU teamates and they said hes always like that though.

But what I "appreciate" about him if you see his interviews and dont just read text is hes a jovial shit talker. We all know dudes like that who just talk a gang of shit but are mostly just having fun.

For him it helps that he's 6'6 300+. I mean in real life who is really telling him to STFU?

I listened to the Biggie podcast last weekend. The self censorship hurts the flow of the podcast a bit, but they are all Disney employees, so I understand. El Amin should host his own show on ESPN it seems since he appears to be a great host and has actual NBA knowledge; I think I've seen him only as a guest on two or so shows.

I wonder once his sons are officially in the league if LaVar will change his tune since all of them will be smaller fish in a bigger pond.

I suppose ultimately the product the sons display on the court will dictate how loud LaVar will be once the sons are all official NBA employees.

"Sean sparks like John Starks, nah, Sean ball like John Wall" - Rest In Power Forever Sean Price.

Hype your kids up and get them some publicity. There's nothing wrong with that at all. I hope his kids have all the success in the world.

But he doesn't need to sound like a clown in the process. And that's what he's doing. I don't think he's hurting his sons' chances or anything like that. He just comes off as someone that no one should ever take seriously. And that's too bad.

But I do wonder if there's a sizable portion of loud mouth parents out there that relate to LaVar Ball and want to rock that BBB gear as they stand on the sidelines and chew out everyone but their child during whatever middle school/high school team event goes down.

I would be surprised if LaVar Ball doesn't start a #BBBLoudMouth hash tag to mobilize all the crazies towards himself and his bank account.

I do think you actually have something here. We've had gear marketed towards athletes, coaches and fans, but never anything explicitly aimed at obnoxious parents who threaten to fistfight a coach because their 10 year old is on the bench in crunch time.

They could advertise that it specifically wicks away both sweat and the saliva flying out of your mouth while you yell "CALL AN ISO FOR BRAYDINN ALREADY YOU GODDAMN DISGRACE" at a guy working as a junior accountant who volunteers his weekends coaching your kid.

And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

is all the one to one comparisons. it really doesn't matter or make sense to publicly state that his son is better than curry and then talk about a one on one game. nba is still a team sport the one on one talk is kinda pointless in this case.

he can clown all he wants, but at some point, folks may turn against his sons because of his loud mouth.

its cool to watch him clown and make folks mad.

...then read. And in the end the guy is good father who's proud of his kids and wants to support them unequivocally.

I will say the stuff about LeBron's kids just comes across as foul. You want to big up your kids against guys making millions, that's fine. But leave nine and 12 years old out of it.

LaVar Ball vs. Michael Jordan Statistics in 1987–88 season
Player Team League GP FG% 3P% FT% RPG APG SPG BPG PPG
LaVar Ball Washington State Pac-10 26 .404 .000 .450 2.3 1.0 0.4 0.1 2.2
Michael Jordan Chicago Bulls NBA 82 .535 .132 .841 5.5 5.9 3.2 1.6 35.0

What NBA player, active or retired, do they have to emulate in order for Lavar's campaign to be considered a success?

What numbers do they need to put up?

Lavar is cysing his own children anyway so might as well add more fuel to the fire.

Or the perception of the kids as players.

Even the active players he's thrown "shade" at (Curry and LeBron, for example) have said that they really like Lonzo Ball's game.

LeBron's mom acted weird back in the day, but that didn't even the perception of LeBron.

how she pretty much faded away to Bolivian. I haven't seen her on camera I think ever since LeBron went to Miami. Has she been on camera at all since LeBron got his rings? She has to have been around LeBron during those championship parades, right? Or does LeBron throw 3-4 mil at her annually to keep her silent and away from them cameras?

"Sean sparks like John Starks, nah, Sean ball like John Wall" - Rest In Power Forever Sean Price.

...when the Cavs lost to the Celtics almost a decade ago.

Then she REALLY faded into Bolivian after the "She's fucking Delonte West" rumors.

Last thing I heard is that she married some rapper that I've never heard of that only a little older than LeBron. Who he apparently gets along with.

So to answer your question, yes, I imagine she's at the parades in the background, but he probably encourages her to stay out of the spotlight.

If true, this type of stuff I find a lot more objectionable than just bigging up your kid to ESPN and whatnot. Sounds like he made the coach's life miserable.

But I realize that to most American's all that matters is money and fame, so whatever.

I would have been so mortified if my parents acted like this though. I just don't really understand it on some basic cultural level, I think.

I'm from the lost black tribe of Israel, the Yos

http://coolehmag.com/frontEnd/

a team mate, who is clearly the best player, has one of these type parents.

called his son over during half time and told him to take over the game. didn't give pointers on anything. just take over. he always went against whatever coach was saying.

in another game, that we lost, he totally blamed his kid for the lose. his boy did miss both free throws and we were down by one, but you can't pin the whole game on your 8 yr old like that. never once did I hear him say good game or any type of praise for his boy. his wife even complained to me about it at practice.

Is it possible LaVar could try that out on a college coaching staff, much less a professional NBA coaching staff?

The somewhat interesting thing is that whatever NBA teams the sons end up on will most likely be terrible, so I am curious if this dude will be a loudmouth if the teams the sons get drafted on don't win immediately.

I think it's happened to some degree at UCLA more than it would at any other big program.

Alford is in a catch 22 cause balls basically saved his ass.

Also I'm curious to see what lavar will say if and when UCLA bows out. I'm sure a lot of the blame will be placed on Alford and teamates. Let's hope it's not tonight

The other sons are slated to play there in the future, correct? I thought I read that somewhere. If so, I would hope LaVar wouldn't say too much to potentially burn that bridge and make things too contentious.

... because Gelo and Melo are not nearly as good as Lonzo is. And with the roster turnover they'll have this offseason? Yeah, he better hope they either make it far in the tourney or offer him the job at IU, because it wouldn't surprise me one bit to see those Fire Alford trucks back in Westwood Summer 2018 if they drop this weekend.

I didn't realize he was going that far, that's ridiculous. The boasting and bragging didn't bother me, but getting between the coach and the players is not cool at all.

LaVar is an interesting dude. Dude is a handful and I can see how it works ok when dealing w/a talent like Lonzo, who's probably a top 3 draft pick.

How does his act play if his younger kids wind up good, but not great? I could see them being decent starters in the Pac 12, and maybe even good starters, but what if 2nd team All Pac 12 is their ceiling? Maybe the LaVar stuff becomes more than a coach is willing to deal with.

Kids learn to shoot when they're young, not from their high school coach. The older you are, the harder it is to change your form.

Pops didn't do his job. His son out there looking like a clown, shooting from his abdomen. Pops fault.

melo not angelo. angelo sorry.

<--- Big Baller World Order

But that doesn't mean he knows shit about coaching. That shooting form is all the proof needed to show he doesn't.

is so overrated. Dudes always want some fuckin James Naismith textbook shit. There's been a number of elite NBA shooters who have had subpar form and theres been a number of average shooters with great form


if you can put the ball in the hoop it doesnt matter

more moving parts make it harder to do the same thing everytime

if someone can have a wonky form and reproduce the same wonky form everytime, then you are correct

but thats hard to do

WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE

There's been a couple of video analyses of him where it shows his form. The beginning is wack but his release point is actually pretty textbook once he brings it back acceoss-- which is why he's a decent shooter despite that horrible looking form

if you shoot a high percentage and don't have problems getting your shot off, ppl generally won't fuck w/ your shooting motion.

EDIT:
but I'll add that the nonchalant way Lonzo said farewell to UCLA - in what certainly sounded like a well-rehearsed sound bite statement immediately following a big loss to Kentucky- turned me off more than anything the dad has ever said.

he was getting ready for the NBA draft with 10 minutes left in the game.

and yeah, his shot is ugly as fuck.
