Because she died :dahell:. There is no reason to even go there. There is no point to be made with that. Commenting on man's family (who constantly puts his family dynamic out there) is not grounds for making light of/minimizing the death of another man's parent.
dont talk about another mans family then if you dont want your family talked about.

You saw it that way, I didn't.

Death or not, Kyrie grew up without her, right?
So Kyrie's experience couldn't possibly be similar...he couldn't possibly understand the dynamics of Lonzo and Lavar's relationship...which he was talking about.
That's how I see it.

For example...If you got both parents and I'm talking about how you and your mom are....and I grew up with just 1 parent...does it really fukkin matter if my parent is dead or not? No. You're gonna tell me to STFU because our situations are different.

That's what Lavar did.

He clearly knew how else could he make a comment

Nah, he made a comment based on assumption. He knew Kyrie's mom wasn't there draft night, but I doubt he knew why. Just like he assumed Kyrie wasn't a parent yet Kyrie has a daughter

His dumb ass is burying himself :heh:
He thinks he knows how the game is played, he thinks these folks keep asking him to be on their radio shows and TV shows and newspaper and blogs cause they care about him or what he's trying to do but they know he's a big mouth who flies off the handle at the mouth and that's going to get them clicks and views and when he puts his foot in his mouth, which he will do often, they're not going to protect him. If he chilled the fukk out and started acting like somebody trying to get a business off the ground instead of someone looking for 15 minutes of spotlight he'd do better and wouldn't have to worry about backlash but no he's too stupid to do that and too focused on being the sports trump.
Exactly! The media builds you up to knock you down . And most of the people aren't laughing with him they are laughing at him. He can't say he doesn't care about what people say either as he has a business whete he needs people to like and buy his stuff .

:mjlol: I'ma give you the benefit of the doubt that you are trolling.

What does the presence of one's mother have to do with one's relationship with one's father? :dahell: You can be close to your single dad and distant from your married pops. It has no bearing on the transition to the league which is what Kyrie spoke on. As a guy that was close to his dad and heavily influenced by his dad and transitioned to the league and has been successful he is indeed uniquely qualified to speak on that topic.

More than likely he just knew the story of Kyrie's father raising him and didn't know his mom died. I didn't even knew she died when he was only 4. But Lavar is making enemies for his son immediately and a lot of these cats are going to make an effort to embarrass Lonzo next season.

Except Lavar didn't say anything about his mom dying.
All he said was Kyrie aint grow up in a household with his mother and father.

Look, I'll admit the shyt came off as crude. :hubie:
But if you're gonna comment on another man's family and his relationship with his son...then you can't claim out of bounds when the shyt is done in return.

To Kyrie's credit...I didn't see anything that says Kyrie responded to Lavar's comments so I'm not saying Kyrie is even upset about it.
But the Twitterverse and all these SJW's are up in arms like Lavar offended single parents everywhere.

Calm the fukk down.
Lavar stay bringing up people's children unprompted

I doubt he didn't know . But if that's the case then that's even more reason to be smarter when you talk ! There is no ok reason

He didn't have to bring up his mom death
He could've kept it at Kyrie don't know dynamics of the Ball family and shouldn't speak on it but nope
He threw the extra shot in there


in any conversation if asked by someone about ya parents and you say ya parent died you'll get an apology from that other person
It's just common decency
Lavar should apologize but we know he wont
