again. this isnt some normal kid. he the brother of a NBA player on a 30m contract and he's already part of a somewhat popular reality show. education doesnt hold the same value for him as it does to normal folks. you think the Kardashians gave a fukk about education? you think Jaden smith gave a damn about college? it aint the same for everyone.
:dead: @ comparing lavar balls money to the kardashians and will smith. those other families set their children up with long term revenue streams using their own connections/pull so they could make money on their own. ball was at ucla in the first place that same way. he burnt that bridge. will smith could get his kid into music, in acting roles etc. lavar ball can put his kid to work at a start-up apparel company that is 100% dependent on his other siblings actually sustaining a decent level of nba success before he burns more bridges with his mouth, or he can ask his brother for handouts. those are the options, without an education. theres really no way to spin pulling your kid out of school for spite. what the uber wealthy do with their kids is immaterial.

What type of lessons are you teaching your kid? That when you aren't wanted or when you face challenges you run?

Lonzo- sucks right now. Instead of dealing with it, He criticizes management and coaching

Lamelo- pulls son out of Chino Hills when he doesn't like the head coach

Gelo- stole in china. gets suspended. Instead of dealing with the bad pub and letting his game do the talking, he takes him out of college. Knowing damn well Gelo is a public figure. This is gonna follow him wherever he goes. Transferring schools is not the answer.

These dudes are idiots. They cool with dude living off his brother forever :dead:
These the 1st cats to talk about owning your own but then pushing this dude to be a leech the rest of his life :russ:
Dude could have scooped up a free degree from an A1 university in the world in anything he wanted but nah that's fukked up now.
They want to use Bron as an example but their money is nowhere near Bron's wanna know why? Cause Bron got $90 million from Nike to start up and play with before he stepped in the league :russ:

bron is also using his platform as a means to start investing millions making sure people know the value of an education, and seeing thru to it that those with opportunities to pursue a free education follow thru with it

Yep. He knows the value of an education. Hate to say it but I feel like a lot of black athletes don't value it at all. I know it's a lot of deeper factors that play into it but a lot of them don't realize the luxury they have. A1 education for free PLUS automatic A1 connections cause the big money alumni already know you :whew:
They'll start you off in management just cause.

Damn, he should’ve at least kept him at UCLA for the college degree. UCLA is on every list of good school rankings ( Us news Tier one status, Princeton review top 5 percent of universities, Forbes top 650/10 percent), while having a shyt ton of C- level executives for alumni that bleed UCLA.


:yeshrug: Not a lot of us brothers get these type of shots.

:gucci: You know damn well they weren't there for no damn academics
