    No, because "big baller brand" sounds stupid as hell and obviously don't have that be the name of your brand.

    I'm proud of us. 60+ posts before:
    "He was good when I thought he was white and played at UCLA in a white t-shirt. Then I saw his dad, and realized I was thinking of Alford. F*** that."

    Good point. He had a niche though; he was making $30 shoes that any kids parents could afford, and he was a really nice guy. And when his play started to fall off, sales stopped.

    Lavar is a disrespectful, dumb, troll. And he's trying to sell 60 dollar t-shirts.

    And Stephon isn't in the league.

    The problems LaVar Ball cause to his kid’s teams go beyond over-hyping his kids. Before, during and after games, LaVar will try to coach his sons, as well as other players on the team. He disrupts the systems the coaches put into place.

    Here is a LaVar Ball quote.
    “I run Chino Hills! I run UCLA, about to run the NBA!”

    Is this your butterfly like transition from the 'this team sucks and won't make the playoffs' style of rhetoric, or did that happen in another post?

    I have others in the draft that I'd rather have than Ball.
    So many 3/4's in this draft. Ideally though I package those 2 or 3 of those picks for Butler.
    CJ/Lillard/Butler/x/Nurk is a darkhorse contender.

    So that's why MM how he did in the Stotts thread I made.
    I didn't report your post.

    Taken from a USA Today article.

    This is the paragraph, about 1/4 down the page. But I would encourage everyone to read the entire article.

    “An assistant coach comes up to me and tells me that he sees LaVar rallying the team up,” Gilling said. “I guess he got them out of their rooms on the 18th floor and tells the team that it was his system that won. That we’re doing what he says. ‘I run Chino Hills! I run UCLA, about to run the NBA!’

    Here is a link to the story in USA Today, but the quote and story has appeared in several papers.

    Hartenstein, Lead and Adebayo were all mentioned as potential lottery picks no more than 6 weeks ago. For a team looking for a power forward you could not ask for a better draft than this. While top 10 and lottery in general will be packed with backcourt players we don't need, some power forward gems will drop to 15-25 range where we will be drafting. At least 1-2 of them will turn into something very good.

    You keep him and see if you can pry:

    *Porzingis
    *Booker

    If not, try him at point forward.

    Stephie Graff did just fine with a whacko dad who was banned from tennis matches....personally I think Ball is going to look less impressive in the NBA....he's built like Will Barton

    AAA Asshat Apparel Association
    CCC Crazy Crackhead Crap
    DDD Dumb Douche Dresses
    EEE Everyone's Everyday Elegance

    Nevermind, this is boring and I don't have anything for K.

    Lavar's middle son (LiAngelo) has no chance of making the NBA. I wanna see what happens with Lavar when LiAngelo isn't getting much playing time at UCLA next year because he's not good.

    Put Lonzo Ball and John Wall on the same team.
