Charles Barkley claps at Lavar Ball

Lonzo better be ready...the whole league going to go at him next year for his pops running his mouth.

This championship thing with Charles Barkley is completely overblown. It was dumb as fukk when Jason "White Chocolate" Williams threw it at him, and it is EMBARRASSING to hear Lavar fukking Ball (who people only know because of his CHILDREN, not him) say it to him. These people are acting like Chuck wasn't a dominant player in his prime and a top 50 guy all-time. LOL @ this fake ass Jake Shuttlesworth talking about somebody would win a title if they had his mentality.

Maybe if he had Barkley's mentality, he wouldn't have to live vicariously through his children.

I cringed listening to his interview on the Herd earlier today. Dude is one of those dads who does entirely too much.
Fam said that if his son came to him and told him to chill out a bit on the extra-ness he said "I'll tell him to move out because he aint no son of mine. My boys aint built like that. That gon ride with dad even if im wrong. I raised him, fed him clothed him so if he wanna be grown then he can move out" I'm paraphrasing a bit but that was the meat of his reply. Dude is crazy.

You serious?

Yeah, he better be real careful. Real Careful that his seeds don't say fukk it and leave his ass high and dry if he don't chill.

Lavar is either gonna be basketball's Richard Williams or cost all three of his kids in the long run

Exactly who I came in here to mention. You've got a bunch of guys in here shytting on a dad showing confidence in his sons and making claims that are nowhere near as outlandish or premature than a guy like Williams from Compton claiming his daughters will be the best tennis players in the world before either had really even broken into professional tennis. Yeah, I'm aware Williams received hate from the media in his day, but there's something to be said for a parent's faith in their child being a positive. And honestly, I know Barkley talks just to talk nowadays, but why is he entertaining what a college basketball player's dad has to say? If Lonzo himself said it, I could understand.

Plus, what is he going to cost them? If his kids end up being trash, that's on them. Him hyping them up isn't going to affect their abilities to get drafted or their abilities to get contracts. Their play will. Some crab ass nikkas are gonna hate on them because their dad talked a lot? Basketball and haters go hand in hand, just look at half the threads on the first page of this thread. The most hated player in the NBA is also the best/most accomplished. If Ball can't handle the pressure of scrutiny he might as well finish off whatever degree he's working on and get a 9-5 job. There's a reason the Williams sisters were/are so great. Besides the athleticism, they were the two most mentally tough players out there.

How Richard Williams brilliantly guided the careers, lives of his daughters Venus and Serena

Cost them how? Expectations?

He can't really cost his kids at all. At the end of the day, if they're as good as he thinks he is, none of this shyt is going to matter anyway.

And if his kids don't make it, that's going to be on them, not on him.

That nikka is from South Central LA, dont think that wouldnt turn into a Marvin Gaye situation in a hot second

 

[Man On Fire]

defend a notorious c00n brehs

Notorious c00n

 

[King Poetic]

You want him to disrespect his father

Quite frankly his father sounds crazy as fukk. Wouldnt be shocked if that turned into a Marvin Gaye situation if that hypothetically happened


Yeah at Washington State



Don't the Celtics have their pick?

yeah you right ... he might end up in phoenix then, unless the lakers make a deal with ainge

 

[Insun Park]

He might end up in Boston. Avery Bradley or whoever the fukk is starting in the backcourt with IT will get relegated to the bench

But his son's will have the paper to make something happen if he gets out of hand

 

[DPresidential]

yes

FOH.

And I seriously dislike Barkley.

That one track mind shyt is corny, breh. The dumb ass breh knows basketball... He's also a Hall of famer.

Don't ask him shyt about human rights but he definitely knows more basketball than Ball until proven otherwise.

First step would be for his prophecy about his son to come true.

 

[Easy-E]

Ya'll suggesting he gon kill one of his sons

 

[Woodrow]

this nikka said if barkley thought like me he might have a championship. LIKE HE WAS OUT THERE SHUTTING DOWN MJ!

i cant get over this fukk shyt. the game has completely turned upside-down when someone who's famous because of their kids can talk shyt to one of the greatest power forwards to ever play in NBA.

some of yall co-signing this bullshyt?

His kids are from the suburbs, they not about that life. This is a dilemma many black suburban kids out there face. Dad is from the hood, flagrant as fukk and probably strapped. Made it out the hood to raise his family there. Kids wind up being non confrontation due to suburban upbringing.

I get the feeling that Lavar is well connected in LA too. Dude is all over the place chatting up anyone who will give him their time and he's likely been like that for years.

Lavar has the same amount of rings as Chuck.

But rings aren't the only requisite to talk basketball.

He has the same rings as Jeff Van Gundy...You think he knows more bball than him?
