I don't know how anyone could think what he's doing is a good thing. He's putting a massive target on his kid's back and it's going to be almost impossible to live up to the hype. We're lucky if there's MAYBE one superstar per draft most of the time, and the NBA always has more busts than hits. The odds are stacked against them already and Lavar's big mouth is only going to make it tougher.

This. Not sure what all these back patters are talking about. He's making his son's path a lot more difficult because he's trying to ride the kid's coattails and create his "lifestyle brand" or whatever the t-shirt printers are calling their bullshti these days.

Yeah he is annoying but not in a way I care about.

first of all, that is hilarious. I had no idea he played with the panthers.

 

secondly, all of the people saying he's an attention whore, he's an idiot, yadda yadda yadda - are the same people that feel that way about Kanye West and Donald Trump. these guys do not give a fug about your opinions of them, and are simply marketing geniuses. every time you say Ball's name - he wins. that's another person spreading the word and turning Lavar Ball into a household name. he's building his brand and will become very successful with the help of his kids. if you don't understand what I just said, then you are exactly the type of person he's aiming for. in the words of DJ Khaled: congratulations  , you played yourself.  

His oldest son is the only one with any real NBA potential. The middle one is an average to below average recruit and the younges one is ranked really low. The only reason UCLA offered the younger 2 is because they wanted the oldest one.
