re: Lonzo Ball's dad

If I were a UCLA fan interested in avoiding the NCAA I'd be freaked the frick out by that family. Hustlers like that have requirements.

How did that family afford that nice house ? Curious what the parents do for a job

Is the middle son really a one and done? I hear more about Lonzo and Lamelo. The other one is a 3 star on 247. Is he any good or just getting hype because of his brothers?

Give me $20 right now and I would jump in a pool from atop a rail too

By all accounts, he seems like a miserable human being.

There is such a thing as being too involved in your kid's lives and that can frick them up too. You can spend money to improve your kid's lives while not putting them in a position where they're going to draw unnecessary ire because of your mouth. He can spin it as making them mentally tougher all day long, but it's a shitty thing to do to your kids.

I said this earlier yesterday, this is no different than Archie Manning, steering his kids to the NFL. Hell Archie damn pretty much dictated where his son was drafted to, its just more brash. On the BBB subject, how many #2 basketball jerseys are they selling and profiting off of it? Why can't the family profit off of his success. Just like the Buga Nation apparel the Fournette family sells.
I get why people hate the guy. But I wouldn't hate his hustle. Let's be real here, nobody would know who LaMelo and LiAngelo Ball were, now people will follow them throughout their High Schol and College careers
Before that piece, I was in the same boat as you guys, but I've completely changed my mind and see where he's coming from. He keeps his kids regimented and on the straight and narrow and I believe they'll grow up to be successful men

Did anybody else notice the youngest one pick up the stack of cash after beating Lonzo on XBox? Would be hilarious if the NCAA deems both ineligible like they did with those baseball players for playing fantasy football.

Middle son is a 6'6 PF. Dad would be better serviced steering him into becoming a TE. 6'6 PF have no place in the modern NBA

Eh, I'm not gonna fault a father for putting his kids in the best position to succeed.
They seem to enjoy their life style, and their futures look incredibly bright and lucrative.
I wouldn't have minded being in that position as a kid.

Complete THUG and attention monger. The oldest son is not a bad kid at all. The younger one is the one who most resembles the father with his attitude. I thought that cutting parts in your eyebrows went out in the 80's. Both kids got beautiful cars from UCLA in their Junior years. Lots of pressure on these kids. With the BBB brand and the antics of the father. Will either end real good or real bad.

he has done a good job raising 3 sons that appear will be very successful one day...yeh people should hate the guy

Anyone who dislikes the way Lonzo Ball's dad conducts himself, please tell me how you felt about Earl Wood's, or Richard Williams. Both of who were really outspoken about their children prior to them turning pro, and during.

Cant wait until the youngest gets benched for cherry picking in college and not playing any kind of defense.
