CC is proving time and time again how ESPN made a bad decision of letting him go to Fox. Brilliant mind!
I have been a LaVar Ball defender overall, BUT this is too far. This is one of the biggest sports experiments and it involves messing with two teenagers LIVES.
Talk about this on my channel today.
because he isnt a liberal black espn love only liberal victim blacks
deymayor2 CC is far better off at Fox then ESPN anyway. ESPN is very biased
Lol what?...
Why is it that Nick and Chris think they know what's best for someone else's kids?
CC forever preaching facts

Sports with Nick f ur channel 😂😂 how bout u talk about ccs kid getting kicked off 5 teams and never making the nfl
Sports with Nick absolutely. There's no defending that one. He's so hellbent on pushing his big baller brand, getting his sons in the nba and attention that he doesn't realize just how much danger he's putting those boys futures in. He's doing all of this for himself now, not for his boys
Is it possible for the boys to go back to school regardless of how their careers go? Didn't VC graduate while with the Raptors? My main concern would be wisdom gained through discipline, not textbook education necessarily.
Cc is most definitely the best analyst on espn he just tells the absolute truth about anything he’s ask about
Spot on CC. Media should stop making news of Lavar's every move.
I support Lavar but depriving Limelo of a High School Diploma and Liangelo of a College degree is wild. I kno a guy who played overseas for 10 years and now he's making 40k doing security
Nothing wrong with 40k.
bentouta5 obviously you're not an adult.
lol you sound stupid
Did the guy who invented college go to college?
You can't defend taking kids out of UCLA.
Ricardo Beltran my thoughts exactly.
Ricardo Beltran amen this is UCLA one of the top universities in the world and he pulled his son out of a scholarship at UCLA for a reason that is petty at best
Ricardo Beltran yes you can
they were all spot on
Nick Wright is a good dude. Very well rounded.
Not a fan of Nick but man is he right
Y'all need to stop hating on cris when he's in the right. Lavar has some sort of god complex and he has to control his kids lives. I liked lavar for a while but now his head is way too big and he's showing his true colors.
MindofJay He got his son to be the number 2 pick of the draft and to the team he wanted to go to. Even before BBB Lavar seemed to have a good business going. If Liangelo and lamelo don't succeed in basketball they can fall back on the family business
Dominique Robinson all that's great like I said, but he's literally trying to control every aspect of their life.
MindofJay lavar is slipping big time on my meter
What parent don't? What about parents who send their kids to the college they want them to go to even when the kid doesn't want to go there.
At 18 you have to do something, cant stay in house doing nothing
This need to be said. Let's not pretend like Li Angelo was there to study and become an astrophysicist. Schools are not what they used to be. These schools have programs where they collect these black kids to their basketball/football teams. The only focus these kids and these school have is playing sports. There are some rules that make these kids attend classes. trust me, if it is up to these schools they will not make these kids attend a single class. in conculsion, it doesn't really matter if this kid stayed in UCLA or not.
EL Chacal facts
UCLA is a top tier school, so yes, it does matter.
I could never understand how people can hate on a young man, let alone predict his future, who knows how his game will develop. One thing that the odds say, he'll be just fine.
I went to a top tier D-1 school. Athletes were there for sports. They all majored in the same "easy" degree program. The same degree could be had down the street at a school where that same degree matters more based on the reputation of the schools. I went to a school that primarily focused on engineering. Most football players were Management majors. That school did not have a top tier Management program.
Man!!! These guys just ripped this segment! Great stuff
7:39 CC really held in his emotions after sharing something personal
yeah I did some research on any other videos where he got emotional on set and they all relate to him talking about his mother and how he was raised etc.
I was with Cris right up until the end. Nick took this one.
Most of all millionaires and billionaires didn't go to college
Darryl Alford Thanks, but most millionaires and billionaires are D1 basketball drop outs. Stats don't lie, focusing everything on basketball won't help.
And most of them lose all of those millions and billions because they never learn to keep it
Who Bill Gates? Everyone else that co-founded Microsoft with Bill was not only a college graduate but had multiple degrees from prestigious universities. Same with Steve Jobs and Apple.
metroidM1A1 no he was not Bill Gates dropped out of Harvard to build Microsoft.
I love this. All three of you professionals made 1,000% on this discussion. Thank you, for now and my future.
CC, Chiiillll! I'll bet if Lavar was Laverne, a single (black) Mom you'd be praising her big time.
stop HATING stay in yo lane
Very well said Nick Chris don't take it personal 😉
More free advertising for BBB. That makes about 50 million dollars worth now.
IDK they got that much if ppl still doing received their shoes but hey maxing out credit cards an living out your means in the American way
They could have $1 Billion in free advertising, but they still have to translate that to sales to make any money.
Lavar is making great choices, kids dont need school, they need the ability to make money, Lavar is making that possible, most kids in America dont go to college, they work, go to the military or something like that, this father is putting his sons in a position to make millions, and with his shoe brand, the kids can also work with the family business, Lavar is also employing other people as well, I wish Lavar and his family great success, hope they continue to be famous, and make lots of money, then he'll have the last laugh :)
Ya because nothing helps you run a business like not having an education in business and marketing.
All of his sons will be millionaires, isnt that enough?
Also, his sons arent going to college to be business majors, they are there to play basketball, lonzo left after one year, he's already a millionaire, the youngest is famous, and already a millionaire, let the father make the choices, he's doing the right thing
Well liangelo isnt a ball player so it would be in his best interest to get educated. Unless his brothers want to feed him the scraps of their success he isnt going to be nearly as wealthy as them.
The Ball family works as a family, nobody is giving scraps to anyone, they will all benefit from each other, thats the way this family works
Cris and Nick have no chemistry. Cris never understands Nick's point half the time
... I'd rather my dad look out for my best interest than let him suffer at UCLA getting exploited for free... making the college money while my son struggles to make a name. No one is watching UCLA now without the Ball kids. Tv sucks
Lavar is making some dumb decisions
CC is right!
Cris Carter is Coach carter from that movie ?
I know it was about Richmond HS in 1999
Really cool to hear Nick Wright's Syracuse Orange Alumni - 4:16
"like that happened in realm life" Nick is dope sometimes
*real life
Pray these young men, kids, don't get hurt. What would they do then!?!? Lavar needs some humble pie.
Laval Ball is a poor mans version of Trump 😂😂😂
Why does everybody act as if LiAngelo cant ever go back to college?
what works you for doesn't work for everyone
These guys talking like these kids and BBB are broke..How did the child stars on brady bunch and some of the sitcoms turn out..keep in mind a lot of them they never went to college..but they wanna point out the life of the black mans children who doing well for them self.
Most sports analysts bother me, eventually. I don't see Cris Carter bothering me
CC is right on the money and I'm still trying to figure out WTF Nick is doing on here.
Nick is right. Everyone gave him a pass just b/c he was there.
RIGHT ON CARTER !!!!!!!!!!
Haha. This is a one-man show. CC got his co-hosts afraid to get in a word.
G Man Not cool he way to aggressive.
I think Lavar is making this all about him! Yes, he played in the NBA and avg. 2 points a game and now he has talented kids that a lot of schools wanted he is getting all the attention and face time he didn't receive while he was a player and it just went to his head! i hope he slows his role" before doin these kinds of things, all of the people who were with you on tryin to better your kid's lives are now sayin hey man step back and think about what you're doin to your kid's lives don't let your emotions get the better of you Lavar i think you're a better man than that!. if you agree, give a thumbs up on this!
Nobody should take anything Ball says seriously unless he doesn't pay his taxes... the man is a business man and he's got everyone else thinking he's serious. I personally think he's funny and it's just something to watch because real news outlets get all emotional over this as news... it's funny and I hope he has 5 more sons who play for the Lakers because the Lakers need all Ball(ers) on their team. By the way the Lakers have a good team this year without Lonzo Ball and I don't know why they either don't move him or put him in a better situation like on the bench or not involved in the offense because he's not involved even when involved.
Plain Simple people didn't take Jim Jones seriously either back in November 18th 1978 look what happened disguise a hundred percent serious
Yeah but Jim Jones wasn't a basketball coach and LaVar Ball wasn't the assistant pastor at the church he had. I think LaVar Ball should start a church but don't read any material, just go off the top of his head without the singing and dancing - he doesn't script well... you have to do his stuff live and just let him go and then see where the money train ends... because it is a money train... the only thing is he can't go political because that will ruin his coaching staff.
Plain Simple judging from your comments you think church is a joke
No, I think LaVar Ball is what you said church is to me.
How do you pull an 18 year old adult out of school?
All sports players in college should be paid a minor stipend but with that said all sports shall not receive scholarships those will go to kids that are learning pretty cut-and-dry and simple
They don't know what they talking about Gelo can make it to the NBA he is 6'6 swingman that can shoot the ball especially from 3pt land with a lot of room for growth. You don't know how he will end up so shut up.
I just don’t understand lamelo is going to live his like with a 10th grade education. Wtf. What if lamelo gets injured is he gonna live off lonzo for the rest of his life?
Wats Up do you really think this generation cares anymore it's all about money all about money that's all they care about the root of all evil
Who is this commentator? Listen to Chris Carter...he has the beat.
Hey Chris, you can't put your values on someone else. Funny how you have all these analysts, especially the black ones, acting like if you don't go to college right away, its the crime of the century. Yet, you don't see them applying the same concerns to kids who go pro in other sports. You don't see them worried about the kids that go straight into baseball from high school or the girls who go into tennis, gymnastics, etc.
No, the hypocrisy here is that THESE CLOWNS want to MOVE THE GOAL POSTS when it comes to blacks but don't say sh^t when whites do the same thing!
Oh, and If I am wrong, someone PLEASE ENLIGHTEN ME!
So why can't LiAngelo just play overseas? why does he HAVE to go to college first? If you want to play basketball and get paid for it, why not explore all options that pay for that talent? including going overseas?
Who is Nick Wright to say that Gelo isn't an NBA player? What's Nick's resume? Please, please me a break.
Stop criticizing my man lavar ball when you don’t even know what’s going on! IT WAS A FAMILY DECISION !!!!!!
What do most rich NBA players do after they retire enjoy the fruits of your labor man was only going to college to play ball and get rich from the NBA
This was way better than watching skip bayless
LaVar got you talking about him on ESPN, CNN...it's a win. These kids are not poor. They can go to school whenever they want. You don't know him, you don't know the all the details, you don't know his kids, and you want to call him a bad parent? The fuq outta here.
I can't believe it. I actually agree with Nick! 🤔
Chris Carter is a good guy only tells it like it is
He is the boy's father. He has a right to make decisions he feel is right for HIS son. All his sons were not going to finish college anyway. There are other ways to the NBA besides college. Plus he is publicizing and monetizing HIS sons. No issues here.
Yeah. An 18 year old with a brother in the NBA and a family business already on the upswing due to his families celebrity really needs a college education SO bad. You know, because you can’t succeed in life without a college education. 🙄🙄
RezBurnaTV for him to live on his own It is tho
Splash'n'Skillz #37 he does not need a college degree to be successful in life.
I use to be a fan of Lavar. Youve ruined their future. Graduation, their friends and so forth. Finished!!
Wasn't it Liangelos call. How did his dad make the decision.
Abel Ramirez nah I was wondering WHY it would be his Dad's decision. That's a big move.
How does he get credit for the scholarship? What good is a scholarship for the kid if there is no degree?
He needs to stop like collge education is gold. Life skills, common courtesy and common sense will get you just as far in life. Financial intelligence...he'll be fine without UCLA. I don't agree with Lavar snatching Melo out but let's not amplify the possible impact that that can have on his life.
Why try to take credit from this father's good work. They must be crazy to think for a second that those kids would've turned out how they did and have gotten where they did without they're father. CC is displacing information, he's lost and is uncomfortable and unfit to discuss issues of race that surfaced here.
If you're taking all the shots you should average 50.
LiAngelo should go and play in Europe this season and take it from there.
Lavar should first stop brushing his teeth with coffee grounds.
If this was any sport besides basketball or football it wouldn’t be a big deal.
Don’t agree He’s teaching his Kids how to build a Brand
Everybody keeps forgetting LiAngelo is an adult. Technically he did this even if LaVar is behind this
Lavar may have gotten a little arrogant but u still not supposed to tell another man how to take care of his kids...
“There will be people that will even defend this”
YOU GOT DAM RIGHT!!!!! So let’s look at some business aspects first. NCAA athletes are not allowed to make money nor profit off of their own name. That included Gelo. Now he’s able to make it known that he’s a top boss of BBB. And he’ll be allowed to have money in his name. Remember BBB’s net worth shot up to $13.2mill. Meanwhile, all of ya’ll including me barely got 13Bucks in our bank account. Now let’s look at his talent (which a lot of people said he lacked). The most fundamentally sound. Pure sharpshooter, can splash it anywhere he pleases, always at the right place at the right time in the court. And great 1on1 defense. Not as pesty as Lonzo but he got some lockdown in him unlike Lonzo.
BigMo_BITW so make no money as opposed to letting NCAA make money and possibly get a degree and shot in the NBA? He not gon make money going down his route guaranteed.
FPS Larry III Nice point, however, as an entrepreneur he’s already ahead of most people who’ve had masters & bachelors in business and marketing. Plus without the student loans. Neither was a guarantee regardless so might as well do the unrestricted training. If it works it works. So if he fails, he only has himself to blame instead the thought of higher ups screwing him over. If he somehow fails as an athlete, his brand is still growing and been making national and world news. And if he decides to go back to school, he’ll have more than enough money to afford it, without taking any loans. And yes it’s a risk, a big risk. But sucessful companies and brands had to take those same exact risks. Including Mark Zuckerberg, a college dropout. And all his degrees are probably honorary.
BigMo_BITW and Mark Zuckerberg is a lot smarter than LaVar Ball. His success wasn’t dependent on another family member being good or not. Two totally different scenarios. I’m sure he has partners and people helping him, but he was dependent on whether or not someone else could succeed for him. He played a hand in his own success. LaVar just so happened to have a son good enough to play NBA basketball.
FPS Larry III Please remember Zuckerberg’s beginning was someone else’s idea. Lavar Ball raised the boys to be 4.0 students. All 3 of them. Yes he WILL get credit for it because he birthed and raised them with all of his heart. And built a future with his bare hands that he’s going to hand over to them when the time is truly right for them to be able to take over. He created this business when the world didn’t even know of their existence. So maybe Zuckerberg may be smarter ON PAPER. Lavar’s taking the same route, same risks. But the comparison is regarding being careful about thinking leaving college is a failure of a choice. Because Gelo has a literal multi-million dollar business that he’s a boss of and it’s time to make moves. If it was someone like ME then yea that’s a dumb choice, because I don’t have a multi-million dollar business to attend to.
For all of you Lavar Ball/BBB Stans! CC IS TALKING TO Y'ALL!!!!
To the ones that said the lady shouldn't talk. Are you kidding me ? It's nice to see she isn't there just to be quiet like other shows . It's a shame they have women sitting there to be quiet . If they are on a show have a voice!!!!!
Shut up, about Black fathers until you live the life of one. (Period)
Thank you Cris Carter for bringing what most people simply do not use or do not have...good ole fashion common sense!
Btw a pleasure meeting you at the ncaa football conference.
It was awhile back, but I shall never forget our brief time together.
Good man you are.
LiAngelo should just play overseas. He just lost a whole semester of school without redshirting.
They are his kids
Why can’t he go to another college
Lonzo was a top 3 prospect and lamelo was a top 10 prospect as a sophomore ..? not too 10 and 20
GELO funna be BBB CEO
Liangelo Ball's season so far: 0 points, 0 rebounds, 1 Steal
Y'all gotta stop reporting on how another man rises his son
Whomever has an opinion you are already disqualified. Why? Raise your own kids! Just worry your own and support or not.
Cedric Townes I'm sorry, this is the price you pay when you want the spotlight on you and your family..
I choose NOT.
This is a great look, I like the idea of having a woman sharing her opinion too
UCLA is done with the Ball family A Men!
CC blows with the wind !!!
I have been a LaVar Ball defender overall, BUT this is too far. This is one of the biggest sports experiments and it involves messing with two teenagers LIVES.
Talk about this on my channel today.
lol is CC dumb or something? Nick's point at the end completely went over his head
Lavar is doing great. These boys only care and want to play basketball. Education MEANS NOTHING! College gets them a degree for a regular job, these boys wanna play ball, even if it was overseas they would make more money than a degree could give them. Even if these don’t play NBA the brand BBB is their BUISNESS! Grow this buisness and basketball or not they can make millions just off the BRAND!. Grow the brand and grow the bank. Lavar doesn’t believe in the college system. That’s why he says one and done. Colleges just want to make money off these boys, money which these boys could take for themselves. College isn’t the key to millions, buisness is!
It's no Big deal
People act like they know ishh about isshh ... but in reality they dont know ishh, last time i checked the Ball family seems to be doing just fine. I m just saying? pretty sure if the kid leaves school it's because he doesn't want to be there. Also pretty sure the mother has a big part in all of this but Lavar playing the media as usual.
Jenna Wolfe is jacked.
Why you guys judging people's parenting let him teach his kids the way he wants to
After your kids turn 18 and become adults and their own people it's not parenting anymore. It's called controlling.
Hey Chris didn't you struggle your first years in the NFL. And Chris how about that coke you use to do After all your mistakes your qualified to tell and judge people you should know who is good and who is bad... You would know my friend you would know
Leave Mr bar let the man raise his kids , haters
Lavar Ball should be called out on bad parenting by his sons. Not by Cris Carter or Nick Wright.
Then who? This is a debate show.
His sons. They can debate another topic more directly related to sports--not a man's parenting of his sons who happen to be big-named athletes.
Lavar is right the ncaa is not the only game in town and some time in the D league will benefit gello greatly. This is lavar's child not. CC"s child. When CC was kicked out of Ohio state and the eagle's somebody gave CC his third chance.
These guys aren't qualified to determine the outcome of anyone.. Financially Ball has put the wheels in motion to achieve what college can't guarantee... wealth
Cc is awesome. No color in organized sports. We are all indifferent. I’m however indeferent in life too.
The Balldashians, I have 1000 t-shirts 10 dollars and sweats 12 dollars. Going fast free shipping order yours now!!!!! Supplies limited until bootleg another batch. Look better than original.
His kid has had absolutely zero impact on making the Lakers a better team. Incredibly overhyped. Celtics GM Danny Ainge is so flippin thankful the wacked out old man didn't allow the kid to come to Boston for a tryout before the draft now that he has the front runner for rookie of the year in Jayson Tatum, who has been nothing short of sensational Tatum currently LEADS the NBA in 3 pt shooting at almost 50 percent and has shown phenomenal poise for a 19 yr old kid and is 1 of the main reasons the Celtics have the best record in the league.
"Non existent black Dad" might just have been better without Lavar!
