Lavar Ball Under Fire For Response To Kyrie Irving

[SunZoo]

No muthufukka.

With every post you jump further down the dummy hole.

You gotta do that to defend a dummy.

shyts disgusting

It may afford you more time . Because he gets months off when the season is over . And you can bring your kids to work with you

Bring your kids to work.

Yeah, you're a fukking moron.

The difference between me throwing that in and you throwing that in is that you're throwing words in my mouth as if I'm implying anything other than what Kyrie stated as if I'm trying to come up with an angle, I'm literally stating everything he said. Comparing his quote about Lebrons kids and Kyrie's quote about him and Lonzo is two comletely different situations, one person is using an example as to why the children of superstars face extra pressure to live up to hype, the other person is telling a father how to handle his relationship with his son. Whether you feel what he said was innocent or not, he still told him how to go about raising his kid by telling him to let him go and be his own man, how do u know he's not already doing that? How is Lonzo already not his own man? And don't say it's because he's in the media marketing his company and Lonzo isn't talking much because for all we know Lonzo may want him doing this.

You and Lavar making all the assumptions.

Kyrie said something that literally every parent has heard and has to come to terms with.

He didn't make it personal, and he didn't make any assumptions.

Really he took the high road. He could have went on to make assumptions about how Lavars parenting would affect his kids. Or criticize his parenting thus far.

If he was "telling Lavar how to raise his family" he would have said much more.

This is fake news.

As always, I suggest you guys take the time to watch the interview before commenting and taking a stance. As a solo quote and without context what Lavar said is very crude and disrespectful. Listening to the entire interview the comment makes much more sense and wouldn't be taken the same way by the public.

Him destroying Becky means the media spin cycle will be on full speed on him from this point forward. Personally, I would refrain from speaking on any other players (or their fam) from this point forward because the media are looking to make Lavar into a public enemy. And it has everything to do with Big Baller Brand and Lavar Ball the brash outspoken black man and nothing to do with any of the outlandish things he has said (or may say in the future).

The media is a very powerful tool, and people are reading less and less today and relying on headlines and hot takes. They are looking to strip his credibility, that way his message is thrown out because of the public's dislike of the messenger. And he cannot afford to give them any ammo that can be used in the media's guns they are using in an attempt to shoot him down.

Paul George broke his leg on national TV playing for the USA Olympic Team (nearly ending his career while playing for free), worked his ass off to come back as an elite player and Nike completely shytted all over him when he wanted to have input on the design of his first shoe. All the work he put in meant nothing when it came to the corporate giant that he played his ass off for, he was just another name on a long list of athletes they are paying pennies on the dollar in exchange for their talent and fame generated from their talents. He said he loved his design, spent hours working on a sketch and Nike ripped apart his design in 20 seconds. He says he doesn't even have a picture of the shoe, Nike does. And the shoe they gave him in return are plain jane, no one will even remember them as his signature shoe this time next year.



Listen to Jimmy Kimmel's response to PG13's story and read between the lines.
"They told you they didn't like your shoe, and then they told you THIS is they shoe that you'll like?"

Most of the world cannot see the forest for the trees my brothers and sisters. Please stay focused on the message they want us to lose sight of that. If those shoes didn't sell a pair and if he was not getting overwhelming support since the Cowherd interview we would not be seeing his name in headlines everyday. #BBB is shaking things up and the powers that be can see a shift slowly starting to happen. They will do what they must to ensure the system that they've established and have gotten generational wealth from will stay in place and continue to reap them the fruits (money) of our seeds (hard work).

Don't lose sight of the message.

Ok, so telling him to let go and let Lonzo be his own man because you aren't going to be able to be traveling with him everyday isn't an assumption?

He's not assuming Lonzo isn't already his own man? He's not assuming that Lavar hadn't already let go and let Lonzo do his thing with his team while he was in UCLA?(which he did) Why would the NBA be any different?

He's giving him advice about things he already addressed in the media about how he's not going to be holding Lonzo's hand in the NBA just like he didn't in college.

 

[philmonroe]

I responded to u 1 time. How did I keep putting anything on u?

Who out here "speaking on cats parents as adults?"
Lavar Ball. And he spoke on Kyrie Irving's dead mom. That's the whole point of the thread. The whole point of my post.

As for sparing u the neighborhood talk, I would've liked too but u claimed that no one learns by the age of 5-7 that talking about someone's mother is off limits. So at that point I figured I had to explain how it worked "in the streets."

Like I said, anyone disagreeing that u don't disrespect someone's mother, especially if they passed on, is a weirdo. Cause that was the whole point of my post so that was all there was to disagree with.

Nothing I said was contradictory or flawed, unlike this mess of a post. I simply said the first thing a CHILD learns is not to disrespect someone else's mother, so a grown man should know better, and that there's no way to spin this for Lavar, it was a clown move and anyone trying to defend it is a clown.

You keep saying this I don't agree with you so your blah blah blah. That's the keep putting stuff on someone fam. It isn't hard to understand but if I wasn't clear there it is. No my dude I'm talking to about using your this is what you learn at 5 stuff. You're comparing what Lavar said to some street stuff come on fam you ain't comparing similar things IMO. I still hold that no ones learn that. Maybe you was getting chumped in your section of Philly I don't know but I grew up here too and can say that lesson wasn't taught in all of Philly. Just because you might have been poor don't make you from the streets my man. I thin some people need to learn that.

Nobody is a weirdo off disagreement but people feel real cocky with words they know they don't say to random people offline so keep saying that Internet talk my man. As far as my post being a mess ok. Does that make you feel better that my post is a mess and yours according to you isn't? What does that accomplish? Does my bank account go low, I can't get girls, do I become dumb or something? What is the consequences of my Internet mess post? I need to know lol.

Ok, so telling him to let go and let Lonzo be his own man because you aren't going to be able to be traveling with him everyday isn't an assumption?

No it's not

Can he travel with lonzo to every event?

Does every parent on earth not have to come to this realization?

Are your parents siting there directing you what to typ on the coli?

He's not assuming Lonzo isn't already his own man?

He never even mentioned lonzo

He's not assuming that Lavar hadn't already let go and let Lonzo do his thing with his team while he was in UCLA?(which he did) Why would the NBA be any different?

That didn't take an assumption. Lavar has said as much himself, and we have proof and statements from coaches/players saying he has not.

He's giving him advice about things he already addressed in the media about how he's not going to be holding Lonzo's hand in the NBA just like he didn't in college.

Kyrie said nothing about holding hands.

How old is Lavar? Like 50's...how flippant and disrespectful is it for some nikka half his age with no children to comment on when to "let Lonzo go" like he's got him holding his pockets. I can easily how he may not have taken that with a smile, especially since it's based on assumption from a nikka who thinks the earf is flat.

He said that he needed to let him go and let him be himself as if he's holding him hostage or making him act a certain way...on the same specturum as that white bytch implying that he's some how abusive to his children. He then went on to talk about how he had to have a sit down with his dad and go and get tattos and his ear pierced to feel like he was "doing his own thing"

Lavar's comments sounded less like nananana boo boo your mom is dead and more like mind your fukking business, stop assuming that Lonzo is looking to 'get away' from his family based on your experiences, y'all ain't grow up the same or have the same support system. The thing is...he's saying real shyt, he's just saying it on TV, people are mad that he refuses to change how he responds to shyt because a camera is there.

Tough t*ts.

So it's not possible to say that without being disrespectful to the dead? He can't very easily point to the fact that Kyrie doesn't know him or his son without mentioning his mother? There is nothing real about that shyt. It's typical loudmouth deflection when you don't have a real rebuttal. There was literally zero basis for saying that and cats are in here defending just to be contrarians.

nikkas are really on some other shyt

Kyrie: You need to let your son be his own man. He will eventually have to move away when he gets to the league that I am in and thusly am more familiar with the transition process than you.

Lavar: How you know? Your mama wasn't around!

And nikkas really sitting here acting like this was a relevant, appropriate response . Lavar can't get into his feelings about someone commenting from afar on his family dynamic when he's constantly putting it out there and constantly commenting on other folks families from afar. Secondly I am still waiting on someone to provide the relevance of his mother's presence, dead or not.

I wasn't, and am not poor. I'm Italian and live right near the stadiums, pretty comfortable as far as Philly goes (make of that what you will).

I've never been chumped in my life, not trying to exaggerate or sound tough, that's just the truth. My father's a stubborn Italian dikkhead and he taught me young if anyone disrespects me and I don't fight them he would beat my ass when I got home. Old school dumb shyt. You know, similar to no one disrespects ur mother, it's learned on the streets at a very young age.

And as far as anything disrespectful I've ever said on here, I can assure u I've said far worse to anyone deserving of it in person on too many occasions.

You're still all over the place, contradicting urself, it's like you're nervous and can't string together a coherent thought. And it's relevant because you're still trying to disagree that speaking on a man's mother, a dead one in this case, is disrespectful, and is something that even a 5 year old understands. So ur post makes no sense because you're trying to do verbal gymnastics to clean up the fact that u have no argument. Like I said, u exposed urself (and I'm currently falling victim to "dont argue with fools cause people from a distance cant tell who is who"). It seems like u've gathered much of what u know about social interactions from the internet and tv/movies. You're probably from one of the neighboring suburbs too that claims Philly, but no one in Philly claims.

And I'm comparing what Lavar said to basic respect, which u just happen to learn on the street as a child, that's the point a 5 year old knows not to disrespect an outsider's mother. A grown man disrespecting ur mother, AGAIN a dead one at that, is one of the few things that just about anybody would understand a violent response to.

Are your parents siting there directing you what to typ on the coli?

HOW THE fukk IS TELLING HIM THAT NOT AN ASSUMPTION? HE'S fukkING ASSUMING THAT LAVAR DOESN'T ALREADY KNOW THAT COMMON fukkING SENSE. ARE U DUMB?

He never even mentioned lonzo

"but he’s got to let Lonzo be Lonzo for the long haul." - Kyrie Irving

That didn't take an assumption. Lavar has said as much himself, and we have proof and statements from coaches/players saying he has not.

Word?
UCLA AD Dan Guerrero isn't worried about LaVar Ball or Big Baller Brand
Asked if LaVar ever tried to interfere with UCLA’s coaching staff or program, Guerrero said “never” twice.
Don't let me dig up the quotes about Lavar himself saying he wouldnt interfere with any NBA team

Kyrie said nothing about holding hands.

It's called an expression but u knew that

Giving advice isn't an assumption.

If I say, "be careful it's dangerous over there"

It's not an assumption that you aren't careful. Just a piece of advise from my perspective.

We also have plenty of comments to the contrary

Let's see where he goes in the draft. That will give you your answer.

 

[23Barrettcity]

Assuming thats what Lavar planned on doing right? Being in the hotel room and traveling with him to every game cuz thats what he did in UCLA right?
A useless fact based off an assumption especially considering he has said countless times that when Lonzo gets drafted he isn't going to be there trying to hold his hand because he's on his own now.

"You got LeBron, it’s gonna be so hard for his kids, cause they gonna look at them like ‘you gotta be just like your dad. And after a while that pressure starts sitting on you like ‘why do I gotta be like him, why can’t I just be me?’ And then they’re gonna be like ‘aw, you’re soft, you’re not that good.’ Because the expectation is very, very high.”

Now tell me where he disrespected them and tell me where he said they WILL NOT live up to the hype as opposed to him saying it's going to be hard to live up to the hype of being one of the greatest players ever(which is common fukking sense).

He's speaking out his ass because he doesn't know bron or his kids or what they aspire to do . He also knows nothing about being in the shadow of an all time great because he wasnt one . Hes assuming they gonna feel some kind of pressure to be like bron when maybr they want to be their own men .lavars the one putting expectations on his kids by saying they better than this player and that player . I'm gonna stop responding to you tho because you clearly got an angle, everything lavar said is facts and knowledge In your world.

 

[23Barrettcity]

Bring your kids to work.

Yeah, you're a fukking moron.

Can his kids not go to his home games to watch him work ? Csn yoh bring your kids to your job ?

I'm not all over the place my man. Its a fukking messageboard not a thesis. Same way if we were talking informally shyt isn't business formal same shyt here. Only times cats try that you're over the place stuff, grammar cop type stuff is when they are trying to clown someone. It is what it is cause being real its a messageboard and sometime people for some strange reason get off on that type of stuff.

What did I contradict without all the online deflection stuff please? I'm from the suburbs? If I was I'd have no problem saying so but I'm not. I mean if that's what you want to believe to make me sound weaker believe it. My dude your not saying much and I can actually agree just doesn't make sense in this scenario to me. Nobody disrespects nobody mother like you're talking about anyway unless there is beef. Jokes don't count cause that's what people do at times esp as kids but being serious nah son. That's why your comparison isn't making sense to me. I've never saw people just start talking trash about someone's mothers when all was good. Where they do that at?

It's an assumption that he doesn't already know he's not going to be there by Lonzo's side everyday while he's in the NBA

U have plenty of comments from UCLA staff to the contrary? Do share
