Is LaVar just a bootleg Richard Williams?

[Jermio]

RW was a visionary who raised and coached the GOAT female tennis player (Serena) and a top 15 female tennis player (Venus) all-time. This nikka's strutting around like he's introducing the Jordan/Kobe/LeBron brothers to the league. Let Lonzo try to win ROTY first, damn!

Bootleg, seems like just a long line of black fathers pushing their children to greatness.
Joe Jackson is the prototype.
Pushed all them boys to greatness and got them all out the fukking hood

I don't mind the hustle, but how are you gonna sell shoes for 2-3x more than Jordan or LeBron? That tips beyond advocacy into craziness. Like he doesn't even believe in his sons' talent and just wants to make cash in the short term.

I would think saying son I think we can do something bigger together than by going with NIke, UA, or addidas and that I believe you can carry it without setting foot in the NBA says more about the total trust and faith he has in his son's ability than a lack of faith.

His son is going to be a millionaire from basketball alone, this isn't a cash out.
As for his sneaker price, buscemi sells his shoes for 2k a pair, more than gucci, prada, jordan and everyone else. Is he crazy as well? even though his strategy has proven successful?

Show me instances where Richard was even remotely as batshyt crazy as Lavar comes across

You really can't compare the two. Them shoes are handmade with gold plates, precious metals and shyt. Lavar outchea selling struggle Kobes for half a stack "because he thinks it's worth it".
Nah breh it don't work like that. I wish BBB success but I don't see it

but when richard williams was instilling the confidence into his children in the media people said they were unproven then too

Nah those shoes aren't handmade they are made in a factory.
They don't have precious metals, they charged that much for a marketing gimmick, just like Lavar is doing. After they got reknown they have now dropped the prices and sell at 1k 900 and 800 dollar price ranges

the revisionist history regarding the dynamic between lavar and richard williams is very similar to how cacs sing muhammad ali's praises but shyt on kaepernick

u hate a nikka back then and drag their name through the mud but when enough time passes u sing their praises and then someone emerges with a similar approach or views as them and they get hated

Nah, I see where you're coming from, but it doesn't fit the case. White people were hating on Venus and Serena because tennis was a very white sport (besides Arthur Ashe and Althea Gibson), but it was obvious to anyone who watched them play that they were going to be a menace to the competition from the start, just like a young LeBron/Messi/etc. Is Lonzo really that great?

nikka Richard said they were the best before they touched the tour. They hated Richard more than lavar
