Pass/Fail: LaVar Ball goes off the deep end, says Lonzo Ball is better than LeBron

LaVar Ball goes off the deep end, says Lonzo Ball is better than LeBron James

LaVar can’t help himself.

If you put a microphone or a tape recorder in front of his face he’s going to make some extreme proclamations. The latest occurrence of the elder Ball going off the deep end happened during an interview with Time Magazine. In the piece, Ball is quoted as saying the following:

“To me Zo is the best player in the world,” LaVar says. Yes, even better than all-stars LeBron James and Russell Westbrook. “I don’t know if he can beat them one on one,” Ball says, conceding the NBA stars are stronger than his son, the Pac-12 freshman of the year and an expected top pick in the upcoming NBA draft. “But I know he can beat them 5 on 5.”
​

LaVar is nothing more than a one-trick pony at this point. We put him on television or radio, he makes some hyperbolic statement, we react. Rinse, repeat.

You have to wonder if he even believes what he’s saying at this point. Perhaps, he knows that another outrageous statement will result in another television interview or photo spread with his Big Baller Brand logo smeared all over it.

As annoying as this schtick is, it's working.

So was projected in the top10 before all this, now he's expected to go top 5.

He better ball tho in the NBA. A lot of haters gonna wanna see him fail now, so they can tell his pops to STFU.

 

[Built4Life]

He can say whatever he wants to say. We won't know anything until he plays against pros and we will see.

Its not working. His PLAY is what moved him up the list. He started the season at 14 and by christmas he was widely considered top 3. His father just started this bullshit once his son was projected top 3. He wasn't running his fucking mouth back in november. Your statement all due respect is the biggest issue I have with this attention whore.... Taking away from the accomplishments of the kid and giving credit for his rise to his fathers foolishness... This kid EARNED the right to be a top 3 pick, his father doesn't have shit to do with it...

 

[KingTaharqa]

Salute to this mans pops. I have no problem with his comments. The kid just might be better than LeBron. People need to fall back off this guy. Im not feelin LeVeon Bell gettin tender in his feelings goin at this man either on the internet. Borderline coon shit you ask me. WE NEED A FUCKIN CODE. I can never hate on a black man tryna get the most for his kids whether he talkin crazy or not. This is where black folk lack of group economic understanding hurts them. Dude playin chess and if his kids aint shit on the court, so what.

Fuck the NBA. He'd better not have a bad game during the tournament. The eyes of the world will be on that game tomorrow night and if he goes 1 - 20 he will never hear the end of it.

I hear you bro.

I wasn't taking away from his play on the court at all. Zo can def ball.

I meant to people who don't know much about college ball know who Zo is, thanks to his pops running his mouth.

It'll be good for some advertisement bucks.

[Entrepronegro]

I don't even know why Charles is even entertaining that guy, he is just talking shit to keep being in the media and they feeding into his trick.

 

[largebillsonlyplease]

Off the deep end NOW huh? before it was could he be better than?
lol

 

[Mr. Met]

I respect his business hustle, but he needs the stop saying stupid shit.

It's starting to lose meaning. What's next? "My kid is Chamberlain and Russell combined"?

 

[jdubbs]

He's making a serious target for his kids. His kids are self made and can ball, he needs to fall back...

 

[RAY V.]

Man if ya'll don't get Lavar Ball clown ass outtahere!

 

[Last Dayz]

Oh my god the world is about to end!

 

[jasonblacc]

He's not trying to get attention for his kids he's trying to get for himself. Stop comparing dude to Richard Williams they are different Richard wasn't out to promote himself but his girls

 

[Day_Carver]

He's making a serious target for his kids. His kids are self made and can ball, he needs to fall back...

The other 2 aren't that good

 

[Nzinga]

His short legged neanerthal proportion son is not better
than anyone. I put him in the same category as Moneke (Mow-nay-kay)
of UC Davis. He is like Lawrence Moten of Syracuse some
years ago, who despite being undersized could play among
bigger men and be opportunistically impactful.. That bitch
will ride the bench for a couple of years and then be cut
the NBA..Far better players like MKG of Kentucky have
been swallowed into obscurity, if not oblivion, in the extreme
and cutthroat talent of the NBA...

 

[pookie]

He said he was averaging about 20 points and 11 reb in JUCO because they were a run and gun team but when he got to D1 the coach played a slow tempo game and he couldn't deal with that shit.

 

[2 ONE 3]

ahhhhhhhhh


lmaoo

His father has no idea, he should wait til they all make the league first.

Very good player

 

[BDR]

Lonzo is that nigga only meal ticket because them other 2 sons ain't worth shit

 

[Spectrum]

The kid can ball.. and honestly, I think differently about his pops now. His pops are just doing Kanye-style marketing for his kid and the shit is working.

 

[RoadRage]

Show of hands, how many of you guys would purchase a used car from that guy?

They're already making a small amount of coin on that Big Baller Brand shit.. guestimates is making 50k a month in sales... his pops just working the media Trump-style right now... just saying crazy shit to keep them talking. He knows damn well his son ain't fucking with Lebron.
