The other two barely seem like college-level material, let alone NBA material. I'd be surprised if either of them make the league.
Yeah, I guess it's good for LAL that two additional roster spots came into effect with two-way contracts. That way they can keep Lavar/Lonzo happy without bogging down actual roster spots with those two.
Lavar Ball represents everything that is wrong with sports.
If only loudmouth oafish self-promotion was all that was wrong with sports.
Entitlement without actually having earned it (hype without substance) and using your kids as puppets aren't exactly positives either. Somebody really needs to teach the guy the meaning of of the word, modesty.
It's not Lonzo's fault, but he isn't exactly stopping it. I hate to wish ill-will on his children, but I don't want to see this behavior encouraged in the future.
You know, this is seriously terrible for his kids.
When I heard his idiotic rants, I immediately had established a negative bias towards Lonzo despite never seeing the guy actually speak. Then I saw multiple interviews with Lonzo, and he actually seems like a really good kid - he seems to say all the right things, and his modesty seems genuine. Sometimes I get the impression he's almost embarrassed by his dad.
So I actually feel sorry for Lonzo, because under any other circumstances, he's the type of player I would be rooting for. But I feel like the more success Lonzo gets, the more attention Lavar is going to get, and more chance there is of his brand succeeding, and the more I'm going to have to listen to his arrogant ramblings.
So as sad as it is, part of me actually wants Lonzo to fail and the brand to fail just so his dad can be shut down and will close his bloomin' mouth. And that's terrible, because you never want to wish for a talented young kid fail. I don't think I've ever felt more conflicted feelings towards a prospect/player, and the worst thing is that it's nothing to do with Lonzo himself.
