Lakers enforce "lavar ball rule"

[CanesMiamiLakers]

he was hacked, he didn't post that video

Let’s say that is the case. What real man records that kind of shyt

idk what you are laughing at, it's true. He did record it but he certainly did not post it

He is a kid, immature one and from this era. He probably thought recording it and then showing it to Nick Young that he has it would be funny, it backfired on him

It's hard to prove anything. There is no way of knowing how much of his struggles are because of the distraction his dad causes. And when he's up for having the Lakers decide whether to pick up his option, extend him, negotiate with him, etc, there is no way of quantifying what effect his dad has on that. But no NBA team would welcome what LaVar is doing and I'm sure some teams would avoid Lonzo completely unless he turns into a legit superstar. We have seen guys get black balled for much less.

I agree with you completely, there's no way of knowing any of those things. Hence why I don't speculate about said things or make assumptions. NBA teams knew what Lavar brought to the table before Lonzo was drafted. I've posted articles plenty of times of execs saying Lavar wouldn't affect how they evaluated Lonzo.

You told me before it doesn't matter what I think about how minor anything is, but you're telling me you're sure what some NBA teams would or wouldn't want. So since it seems we are interjecting our opinions, I would safely say transitioning to a far superior, faster league has something to do with Lonzo's struggles. I would say a very unorthodox and not very fluid jumper would have something to do with Lonzo's struggles. His shot has been his main issue while he's been contributing in multiple different ares. All of those things I just listed are tangible things I can see. I'm not about to jump into a strangers head and try to psychoanalyze him. There are plenty of things that could be mentally affecting a rookie. Lavar is new to us. He's not new to Lonzo. Lonzo has stated he's used to his dad's antics and doesn't care about them. That's what I have to go off of.

Another opinion of mine is that people let media narratives dictate far too much of what they think they know about sports and how organizations are run/think. These journalists never played professional sports. They've never worked in front offices or coached on the sideline. They romanticize sports and create scenarios they think would fit. Why should the Laker's care about what Lavar Ball has to say? How does it affect their bottom line? How many wins and losses does it equal out to? Lavar Ball's comments are fodder for slow news days and message boards. We think it matters because we talk about it every day. It trends on social media. The shyt doesn't matter.
