Anyone else rooting against UCLA and hopes Lonzo Ball has a bad showing in the tournament? I just don't like the dad and I think the sons seem over hyped to me. I just want a public reality check for them. I hate rooting against college players specifically, but I just can't help it here.

I don't really wish ill-will on others.

I imagine he is public enemy #1 in college basketball.

I don't want him to get hurt. I want him to fall on his face and get humiliated by another PG

They could lose today, he could suck, and he's still a lock top 5, probably top 3 pick.

I'm not mad at the kids. But his dad is a piece of work who's trying to profit off his son's basketball talents anyway possible. I find that disgusting

the sins of the father do not reflect on the son. Lonzo has been handling his crazy "stage mom" dad the best he possibly could without pissing off or hurting his dad's feelings.

Some fellow rednecks, like yourself, in the office have the same mindset, but most people just laugh. UCLA is a very likable team and it shouldn't be tarnished because a player's Dad is annoying.

I'm not going to root against the kids just because the dad is a douche

I dont like Steve Alford, not pulling for UCLA, but I dont wish a poor showing for Ball just because his Dad is a clown

Lonzo Ball is everything this board claims to like, a good hardworking, unselfish player who doesn't even talk much at all.

Nah, can't stand the dad, but Lonzo, whether because of or in spite of his father's actions is one hell of a kid. He is someone you want on your team. I will root for that kid any day. I wouldn't hesitate to have him on my NBA team as I am sure that no one is going to give Lavar near the platform to talk once its the nba and the season is so long. Right now they are just trying to squeeze all of the ratings out of him they can.

TL;DR
Lonzo's class> Lavar's doucheness

I don't mind his dad at all. Like I saw the other day on Twitter.. lots of these kids either don't have dads or have dads that don't give a shite about them. And we are supposed to be upset because this dad is so fully supportive of his kids?

Nah, I tend to not wish ill will to teenagers because of how their fathers act. It's part of that whole thing where I'm not an arse hole, it fits in that category.

The fat bro is the only son that is over hyped. The other 2 can ball.
