OT: Lonzo Ball's dad, part II

[JellyBean]

Remember that time when LaVar Ball didn't say something stupid in the media? Yeah, me neither. Wow. I feel sorry for UCLA's coaching staff, their alumni, and their fans. They have the other two kids coming up for a few years. One is looking like a 2-3 star recruit. Dang. I feel bad for the high school coach that is coaching this dude's kids! You know if LaVar is like this on the national stage, he has to be a thousand times worst on the local stage.

 

[intlzncster]

He's not worth a thread here anyway so delete it and Next....

If that's the standard, we're in for an offseason of crickets.

 

[JSM1970]

Agreed, here's a simple thought -- don't click on it.

Answer the NBA question?

1986 celtics did ok against some of his he best basketball players ever in the nba

 

[BleedHuskyBlu]

White players lack of foot speed/athleticism doesnt become an issue till the NBA. So yea he is pretty wrong about not being able to win an ncaa championship with 3 starting white players

I know a little about that team LOL. That was 31 years ago.

 

[Chief00]

Racism is not a definition in language it's people treating someone really badly because of their race. I don't see evidence of that in LaVar. He thought the reason his son's team lost was because 3 white dudes were too slow. Mr. Enoch thought his son did not develop because of his son's African American coach. MAL was disappointed a white coach had left the school.

All these dudes may or may not be wrong, but I don't think any of them are racist.

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

You obviously don't have the ability to independently critically think.

Literally the least self-aware person on planet Earth.

Ok I'm not done - you really think those are great comparison's? C'mon be serious.

 

[CardiacAndre7]

Lol Michael Rapaport went off on Lavar.

Black guys weren't as athletic in the 80's?

 

[intlzncster]

Lol Michael Rapaport went off on Lavar.

The last line of that rant literally made me laugh out loud. Mike drop.

Very nice!!!

Do you think his wife would have married him if she thought he was a racist against whites?

Don't jump off the ridiculous comparison to prove your point - what does Steve Enoch and his dad leaving UConn have any thing to do with loud mouth spewing about 3 white guys being too slow so they can't win?

Beyond ridiculous, if you're going to try to prove you're right you need to be smarter than that rash of BS.

PS - Rappaport has it spot on!

....and this proves I'm not really good at "Next"

mau, you're a good guy, but this is definitely not your forte.

Pretty awful at it huh intlz?

 

[Jaker]

Yes his comment was racist and people say stupid racist things all the time. But what was really sad is that he is trying to blame the loss to UK on other members of the team when his son was the one that was a no show. His kid was exposed for being a terrible defender and not an emotional leader. Won't be surprised if the Lakers pass on him for another player.

I can't believe ball peddles tshirts that are probably gildan quality for $50+... also the guy who reps lonzo is a family friend and this is his first athlete as an agent, wonder how thats going to end up?

 

[superjohn]

Always loved this guy, Zebrahead.

 

[temery]

Jimmy the Greek lost his job/career for saying pretty much the same thing.

None of this is going to end well. I mean, it may end up ok for the Balls via a reality TV Kardashian spinoff. But none of this is going to end well for the world.

Chief, temery has the comparison you were looking for

 

[swami7774]

It's all good. The dude is giving his opinion - you don't need to agree.

I doubt it would be "all good" if a white parent made an equivalent racial slur.
The SJWs would already have surrounded the guy's house.
