Lavar is the average black dad who is active in his kids life. He suppose to say his kids the best and be hard on them. America just never seen a good black dad in the media
Yeah we know that statement was false b/c when the 2nd son got suspended from UCLA Lavar quickly went to plan B. Every good businessman have back-up plans, not bc of failures but for different routes in attaining the original goal Plan A was set up to accomplish
I have my disagreements about Lavar, but no one can't say the man isn't in his boys life. I'll go on a limb and say we need more fathers like this, even if they aren't aspiring to be pro athletes. just BE there...
While that sounds good on paper...in reality that's a terrible ideology. It's severely irrational not to calculate the potential of failure and have a backup plan regardless
TruthxAR for me i took it as, don't rely on the fact you have a plan b to distract you to be 100% in your first goal. I think alot of times ppl be like well if that doesn't happen, it's okay because i have this & you should be like no, I'm going to find ways to make plan A happen because it has to.
When you're a Black man that cant be controlled.....they will try to take you down. I respect Lavar Ball even more after this interview. Missing an education? You clearly have no clue about being a college student athlete. They practice and work on their craft constantly. They rarely take challenging courses that interfere with their sport. Thanx for the likes tho 😂
Maybe back in the day that’d be true or in certain situations or areas, but in general that’s not the perspective at all. Most confident black dudes like 2Pac, MLK, Obama, etc get universal respect from all races. It’s 2017 and though it’s not quite equal in terms of race, from a mixed raced brother from the UK let’s not paint blacks as the victim just because of the past. Same thing Lil Wayne was saying about BLM, albeit on a larger scale in that context
crashlong might want to check those numbers again their big dog…You’re off just the air. Not to mention the tens of thousands of dollars of suppliers bills that they haven’t paid for. STILL!!!!!!!!
IsaiahChavezCA Yeah nothing like robbing your kids of high school and college and putting no value on education and everything on basketball and promoting a brand. Not like UCLA was one of the best schools in the country both academically and athletically.
Up until Lonzo got to the Lakers you could say he's been an amazing father helping his kids get scholarships and raising draft stocks. BUT since Lonzos been I. the NBA he's done too many questionable things. Especially for Melo. Gelo could have went a better route and went to a lower tier school and put up numbers and maybe sneak into a second round pick position or walk on to a summer league spot. Melo though, feels like he's fucked, if he doesn't develop the way they want him too and leave the Lithuanian team after a week then he's screwed for basically life cause he ain't playing anywhere else.
DiverseLA Colleges have graduated millions of people who can't find a job, so college doesn't guarantee anything. Having a brand that your parents own, That you can help run is winning...You can continue education at home, anytime...Running your own is better...Most of college is a waste of money, taking classes that you don't need. It is a rip off. A lot of the degrees won't land you a job, but one can say I went to this big school.
1. They are young 2. Many NBA players don't know how to give interviews 3. It is a skill and a talent that can be developed. They needed to be there it was free publicity. This man is helping to change basketball behind the scenes and he has been a huge influence for his sons. They will become polished, it will just take time
I agree!!! #FACT If you get a chance, check out the barz on my channel. If you rock with it, hit the subscribe button. I would appreciate that a lot! 🙏🙏🙏💯
Because he's a strong black man. His sons wouldn't be on this earth if it wasn't for him, let alone playing sports. When they win so does he. That's how its suppose to be.
King Treal that is the dunbest reason ever. None of is would be here is not for our parents...doesn't mean we owe then anything and certainly not for them to make poor decisions for us. He is self-serving clown that is throwing away great opportunities for his son's based on his own personal emotions.
Rasheed Bailey I hear you. I hope Lonzo does well. If you get a chance, check out the barz on my channel. If you rock with it, hit subscribe! Would appreciate that a lot 🙏🙏🙏💯
Lavar Ball sons respect him. There is nothing wrong with guidance. I like seeing that. Why is there a problem with their father giving his children direction? If you are in the military, the drill sergeant gives troops guidance. If employed at a job, you receive a directive from your boss. Let this man lead his sons. Nothing wrong with this at all.
There isn't, but what most including myself are seeing is boys (yes, boys) who are actually incapable of saying or doing anything themselves. Even when answering some simple questions, Liangelo either doesn't understand, can't think of an answer or because he can't think of an answer looks over at his father for it. Even Lavar's approach saying 'I guide them, if the boys choose to go left, all I say is to not cry to me if it goes wrong' - bad parenting... You're meant to help your kids no matter what, show them where they went wrong, live and learn etc... And LaMelo... He basically said nothing, but the same principle applies to him in other things you see him speaking on.
in the interview he literally said that he told his kids "if you go the way i say, you will be successful. If you go your way, thats okay, but dont come crying back to me when it doesn't work out." So pretty much he told them if you don't do what i say you wont be successful, he has clearly manipulated his sons into this "respect"
Dr.Hugiw L Mungus M.D - exactly... Their 'respect' and 'loyalty' is just because they're still at the mental age of 13 where nothing they do is a decision THEY'VE made; entirely dependent on their father
James Stevens yeah, like he gives them the "freedom" to make their own choices, but at the same time he tells them "if you don't do it my way you're gonna fail" and you can tell his kids really believe that
These are stupid comments. I was raised to understand that you’re elders know more than you do. I went my own way at a young age and failed many times. In a black household I’m sure you’ve heard “a hard head makes for a soft ass”. They aren’t speaking that well on the interview but they’re kids. I wasn’t an eloquent speaker as a teenager sometimes it’s best to shut up. He probably knows his kids are bound to say some dumb shit if they get too comfortable lol
I agree!!! #FACT If you get a chance, check out the barz on my channel. If you rock with it, hit the subscribe button. I would appreciate that a lot! 🙏🙏🙏💯
He gives them good guidance. He has a vision, he lived the life and the perfect person to guide them. I love how he stated his boys are teenagers and there is no need to scrutinize him...
bruh they looked so tired. Lamelo looked like he just got out bed. Gelo looks like he's tired being asked a whole bunch of questions. Lavar looks like he could interview all day.
Down Hill I feel where you are coming from and you have every reason to feel that Lavar maybe exploitive of his children. But honestly people never really look at it from the ball brothers point of view. Lets say that your Lonzo ball, your dad raised and coached you and your siblings to be excellent ball players. Then you and your two brothers are the reasons why chino hills is even recognized as an elite basketball school. And then you after only one year at UCLA make it to the NBA. And regardless what you think of Lavar, Lonzo, Gelo, and Melo wouldn't even have the stardom they have now if it wasn't for their loudmouth father. Not only that, they are business partners with their mother and father, that is growing fast off the successes of their basketball career. So as long as Lonzo keeps playing well and getting better as a player, and Liangelo and Lamelo do good overseas. BBB is here to stay and grow. Also, Lonzo is a grown ass millionaire, if he felt his dad goals and business was bs, he could've signed his own shoe deal if he wanted too. So that just shows you how much trust and faith Lonzo has for his family brand. But I won't shit you for thinking otherwise
If they started at 6am then it's 3am on their time. It takes a while to adjust to the time difference. Most kids can barely get up at 7 for school, it's a bit cruel to be up at 3am.
Malysa Sin Malysa Sin they where in new york for a while for Lonzo's game and the pop-up shop. Plus the breakfast is something that has to be planned in advanced since they're a lot of high profile celebs that get interviewed on the show. So its not like Lavar and the boys planned all of this stuff the day of. So it would've common sense to get enough sleep to do an almost hour interview early in the morning if it was scheduled in advance like most interviews are.
If he had interviews like this nobody would hate him. When he comes out and says his son will lead UCLA to the National championship and then when they lose turn around and say they couldn't really win anyways because of how many "slow unathletic white players" were on the team, those are the types of things he gets hated for.
I peeped that but athletes tend to get better. They'll get alot of practice with all this post game interviews n other stuff I guess. Dude was on Breakfast Club too, nah mean?? Lol
If he had interviews like this nobody would hate him. When he comes out and says his son will lead UCLA to the National championship and then when they lose turn around and say they couldn't really win anyways because of how many "slow unathletic white players" were on the team, or saying that his son stealing in a foreign country is "no big deal", those are the types of things he gets hated for.
Randy Reece definitely! Like he said, they scared when they can’t control one of us ... (NEGROS).. this guys unstoppable, he has vision and he will get shit done
Christal williams I agree, he’s also a role model for others that see all the injustices and exploitation in sports. Every talk show has something critical and negative to say, if he was white it would be business as usual
I dont understand how people are upset that this MAN is raising his children to be reliant on someone who can fire them one day... We need more fathers like him... Ijs..
Allthemadness _ cause he is obnoxious and rude and arrogant raising his sons to be confident that is beautiful but his self righteous attitude is down right shameful
Allthemadness _ I respect the confidence he instills in his sons...if he's not saying they're the best players in the world then all the public hate will eventually get in their head! What I don't agree with is his refusal to accept any criticism or opposition...your son made a stupid mistake so let him sit down and take the punishment then get back to chasing his dreams don't move him out of the country and teach him to not be accountable for his actions that's pretty extreme 🤔
Chris Gibson robbing your children of their experience of being in HS and UCLA? I don't like to just flat put others thoughts down, but on your comment, it's plain stupid.
MrBBG98 they weren't robbed of anything. They were rewarded with getting a head start on their career they've always wanted. They didn't have to wait for people to allow them to do what they want.
MrBBG98 lmao you’re acting like the HS and college experience are that important. If your HS or college years are your greatest years in life then you already failed.
Mr.Wavy24 what?!?! That makes no sense BECAUSE the maturation you learn in HS and college is VERY IMPORTANT! And you're talking about UCL FUCKING A! Not University of Phoenix online !!!!
MrBBG98 yes,"Head Start"!!!! Did my typed words stutter????? They're playing professionally now,even the 16year old. "They"(???????) are an embarrassment????? Who's they????? Only Liangelo got caught stealing,Lamelo did nothing wrong.
Everyone who has been judging this father needs to watch this entire interview. That was a good breakdown of the chain of events that took place. I ain't mad at them.
"There is no plan B, because if You're 80% in plan A, then you're 20% in plan B. Don't be mad when you don't make it because you worried about a fallback plan" 💯
I love the father - son relationship of this family . This father def reminds me of my father ! Strict & can tone it down when need be . This is def a good example of the black family structure ‼️☺️
tony lee west they act like they’ve been locked in a room and beat for 10 yrs. not one of them can speak for than a few words at a time. They seem like nice kids but dang they do seem slow lol
Charlagname : Coming from the hood how hard is it turning down the big deals that im sure they've offered you. Lavar : Is not hard when you have a vision. #POWEROFTHEMIND
You have to salute this man for his independent way of thinking. He’s literally creating a new path for future players to follow. The Big 3(Nike, Adidas and Under Amour) don’t want to see this but despite the salt people throw this is what the culture needs.
If more black DAD's were like that we would have less single black women raising there kids on there own... And with discipline....wish I had a DAD like that.... Props brother...
There’s a lot Black Dads like that. In this case, LaVar chose his wife and planned to have those kids. So of course he’ll be involved like this. There’s a lot of lost men with misdirection and no agenda thus the reason for this epidemic of missing fathers in children’s lives. But it’s a two-way street and black women deserve some blame to for choosing these lost men to breed with. That’s the sad reality.
F And statistically most white women that date black are single mothers actually.. Even more than black women so its actually us black men that need to do some self-reflection.
Adam Firstman lol,I was the same way when I was a teen,I wouldnt have said much, because I was young and wouldnt have cared enough to talk,I'll let someone else do the talking,while I think about $$$ and bitches,but seriously once they hit they"re20s they would be able to hold they're own
You know, as much as I want to wave Mr. Ball off, he is handling his business and I cannot be mad at him. The passion he has for his sons, family, and building a empire is admirable!
7 лет назад
dictatorship at its finest. There was Napolean, Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, Mussolini, & now you can add Ball on that list of greats.
But aren't all parents dictators? When watching, it does make me cringe a little but Mr. Ball has a son in the NBA playing for the Lakers, so until his method doesn't work on the other two he has no measure of failure. I learned a long time ago that just because I don't understand or like it doesn't make it wrong, just different from what I would do.
He makes perfect sense when he on the breakfast club and they play the entire interview. Why do all these other media outlets chop it up and make him seem incoherent? The man dropping gems all over the place
it's a Big difference when the father is hands on with his children. Lavar keep doing what your doing, true inspiration for us younger brother raising our children. #moorthansports. #Legacy #Family #Blackexcellence
Patrick Jack you definitely have a point bro. But I think they still have a bright future with or without a college degree. And hey you never know they may get to kobe/ lebron level one day despite them not being that great right now.
It aint that bruh. EVERY NBA player had involved coaches and/or dads. Kobe, Gilbert Arenas, Kyrie, Steph Curry, and more...each of their dads pushed them HEAVY. But you never saw their dads trying to hog the spotlight when their sons made it. You also never heard of any other players team having a meeting with a player dad telling him to behave himself, like the Lakers did with Lavar. I'm saying what Lavar does is beyond just being invested in his kids.
You can tell lavar gets real when his voice gets low, and he says “you know what?” That’s when you can hear that he’s actually down to earth and has some actual knowledge.
Having a father that supports you like Lavar does is priceless man.. nothing but respect !
Lavar is the average black dad who is active in his kids life. He suppose to say his kids the best and be hard on them. America just never seen a good black dad in the media
Ain’t no plan B, if you 80% in plan A & 20% on plan B you ain’t 100% in! So don’t be mad if you don’t make it.
-LaVar Ball
Tyler Reckless 😂🤣🤣😂😂😂
Yeah we know that statement was false b/c when the 2nd son got suspended from UCLA Lavar quickly went to plan B. Every good businessman have back-up plans, not bc of failures but for different routes in attaining the original goal Plan A was set up to accomplish

Yea, that's the only thing I really didn't agree with Lavar on.

I have my disagreements about Lavar, but no one can't say the man isn't in his boys life. I'll go on a limb and say we need more fathers like this, even if they aren't aspiring to be pro athletes. just BE there...
I agree, Mr. Marshall
Just being there is a cop out. Lavar isnt just there, he's engaged in their lives. He's not just their dad, he's a parent.
@Mr. Marshall i agree!
Lavar could be a voice actor and be in a Pixar movie or something.
GENIUS
He does have a fantastic voice.
He could def be a voice actor for a fat character on a Pixar movie. Maybe a snowman or something
In the BBB movie or something

how tf you gonna respect him for taking his kid out of high school. Shouldnt you value education as a father?

Lavar Ball said"They waiting to catch me with a mistress on the side" My man held it down, but now watch TMZ be on his ass.
They might try to send one of these bad ass instagrams THOTS to his door to jam him up. He seems to be solid but, We as men all have urges.
Well Lavar carried this entire interview because Melo seemed uninterested and Gelo just don't know how to be interviewed AT ALL!
Madeinela the play ball I don’t think they really care about interviews
Well, why even show up? ball players get interviewed all the time @ deni brooks
1. They are young 2. Many NBA players don't know how to give interviews 3. It is a skill and a talent that can be developed. They needed to be there it was free publicity.

He not black and he married a white woman. Go figure
How about the power of a father you racist.
Some of these folks act like they never had a father before... Lavar keep being black.
White people can stand him. I know it's because he identifies as black and he has mixed children who identifies as black. LMAO!
I grew up with no daddy, so i think Lavar Ball is dope
Me too🙏🏻

Them being teens is no excuse, 'cause they're old enough to know what they did...they deserve to be scrutinized.
with that logic anybody who's is lavars age is the perfect person to guide young men

😭 😭 😭
He's traumatized give him a break Lmfaoo
lamelo left hs to have more time on 2k
Kevin Smith Lmfaooooooooo
People who are confident within themselves like Lavar. Insecure people dislike him.
Simple.
Baniel Instro yes 💯
If he had interviews like this nobody would hate him. When he comes out and says his son will lead UCLA to the National championship and then when they lose turn around and say they couldn't really win anyways because of how many "slow unathletic white players" were on the team, those are the types of things he gets hated for.
Muthafuckin bingo.
Facts
Preach nigga
Li'Angelo and Melo gotta get some media training.
Garion Bush be easy on MY boys, they are young still
I peeped that but athletes tend to get better. They'll get alot of practice with all this post game interviews n other stuff I guess. Dude was on Breakfast Club too, nah mean?? Lol
Damn can they learn how to drive first at least?
Yeah I'm happy Jello can play ball because he seems to be not that intelligent.
no...lamelo sucks
If a black man doesn’t fall in line he gets ridiculed...

Randy Reece REAL TALK
Exactly
Randy Reece definitely! Like he said, they scared when they can’t control one of us ... (NEGROS).. this guys unstoppable, he has vision and he will get shit done
Christal williams I agree, he’s also a role model for others that see all the injustices and exploitation in sports. Every talk show has something critical and negative to say, if he was white it would be business as usual
Look at Liangelo not knowing what he suppose to say
J_N_S Comedy that's because his dad speaks for him he's scared
And he don’t want to say the wrong thing it seems. But based off what he did, he should of known they would bring it up
Uh
dave ortwine lmao
Well, he IS young and he is deferring to his father, really being respectful. That is my take on it, anyway.
Say what you want but LaVar is woke
GODDAMN right... "... when they cant control one of us, they nervous"
Yup
So 'woke' that he married a white woman. Smh.
Shanti Jones why that matter
he ain't woke lmao
If u r a 80 % in plan A and 20 % B then u are not 100% in plan A...... #truth
Fem Ster exactly
This FATHER is a good example of protecting the family name and togetherness
9:33 when u taking a test and u see your friend in the hallway 😂
Brooooo I’m dead 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I dont understand how people are upset that this MAN is raising his children to be reliant on someone who can fire them one day... We need more fathers like him... Ijs..
Allthemadness _ cause he is obnoxious and rude and arrogant raising his sons to be confident that is beautiful but his self righteous attitude is down right shameful
Joseline James why do you care though?
Derek Rich right?
Allthemadness _ well said...👍
Allthemadness _ I respect the confidence he instills in his sons...if he's not saying they're the best players in the world then all the public hate will eventually get in their head! What I don't agree with is his refusal to accept any criticism or opposition...your son made a stupid mistake so let him sit down and take the punishment then get back to chasing his dreams don't move him out of the country and teach him to not be accountable for his actions that's pretty extreme 🤔
Lavar the realist. This interview is powerful. Shows what you can accomplish and overcome with the right mindset.
Chris Gibson robbing your children of their experience of being in HS and UCLA? I don't like to just flat put others thoughts down, but on your comment, it's plain stupid.
MrBBG98 they weren't robbed of anything. They were rewarded with getting a head start on their career they've always wanted. They didn't have to wait for people to allow them to do what they want.
MrBBG98 lmao you’re acting like the HS and college experience are that important. If your HS or college years are your greatest years in life then you already failed.
Mr.Wavy24 what?!?! That makes no sense BECAUSE the maturation you learn in HS and college is VERY IMPORTANT! And you're talking about UCL FUCKING A! Not University of Phoenix online !!!!
MrBBG98 yes,"Head Start"!!!!
Did my typed words stutter????? They're playing professionally now,even the 16year old. "They"(???????) are an embarrassment?????
Who's they????? Only Liangelo got caught stealing,Lamelo did nothing wrong.
You can tell LaMelo doesn't wanna play overseas 😂😂
😂😂
He's trying to keep those boys stupid so that they don't know how much he needs them.
Daddy was a looter in the LA riots that's where they learned to be theives
bobbitsunami tsunami
besides his friends, hes famous af got hella. clout... no one gona kno him in argentina
Derrick Iosn sorry teacher
He makes fatherhood look soo good.
Everyone who has been judging this father needs to watch this entire interview. That was a good breakdown of the chain of events that took place. I ain't mad at them.
whereitallhappens nobody cares what you think 😂🤣😄
And nobody cares about what you or anyone else cares about.
Ricky Smabor shut yo dumbass up 😂
So true, I agree.
Lavar Ball is a marketing genius and the world should take notes. Breaking into the shoe business will be fight
Why does Lamelo look like he got his ass whooped before they got there & now he mad 😩😂
Ebony George
Its 6 in the morning I'm guessing he energy wasn't all the way up.
He was playing 2k all night
Its early in the morning
Carmelo Anthony this sounds about right for a 16 yr old lol
Ebony George probably for not wearing bbb brand 😂
"There is no plan B, because if You're 80% in plan A, then you're 20% in plan B. Don't be mad when you don't make it because you worried about a fallback plan" 💯
But also the same guy that said if you don't listen to my advise then don't come back when you fail lmao
Miguel Mejia 👀👏👏👏👏👏👏💯💯💯💯💯

Senior Quote:
Pretty much people with a Plan B. Mostly never put energy into Plan A!
I love the father - son relationship of this family . This father def reminds me of my father ! Strict & can tone it down when need be .
This is def a good example of the black family structure ‼️☺️
Lavar: Gelo is getting paid 10x what any college player is getting right now.
Charlamagne: They don't get nothing
Lavar: Exactly
Hahahaha #BBB
Sqwad Sqwad does that mean he's getting ten dollars
10 x 0 = Zero. I know that’s not what he meant, but still.
✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
STUPID THUGS
Some of them are getting paid under the table
Charlamagne “So LiAngelo was leaving UCLA more of a strategic move or an emotional one?”
LiAngelo: What you mean
Too many words longer then four letters was in that question.
King Henry IX than*
I noticed that. The boy doesn't have a brain. . .Lavar definitely runs the show.
Lol wtf do that mean it was probably neither
I would have said the same thing. The question didnt make sense
Charlemagne: Gelo is blue your favorite color?
Gelo: yeah
Charlamagne: why
Gelo: yellow
Fariko Pacer LMAO!!!!
Omg 😂
This didn't happen lol there's no way I missed that
💀💀💀
😂😂😂
Lavar Ball is a good man, why folks hating on him
Lamelo stayed up too late playing 2K
CruisetheCity 😂😂😂
#W

Charlamagne: How old are you?
LiAngelo: What that mean?
kenneth panganiban lmao
NIGGA THIS SHIT RIGHT HERE HAS ME IN TEARS !!!!!!!!!

kenneth panganiban True story 😂😂😂
kenneth panganiban 😁😁😁
LaVar Teaching His Sons The Importance Of INDEPENDENCE 💥💥
Does It Bang? Who’s independence? They can’t even speak for themselves, to be independent, that’s something important.
I noticed that as well it's clear as day 1. They afraid to speak they own mind or 2. They mentally slow
tony lee west they act like they’ve been locked in a room and beat for 10 yrs. not one of them can speak for than a few words at a time. They seem like nice kids but dang they do seem slow lol
Ok dumbass. Great job for the future of that kids independence when he is taken out of school at 16.
These boys hoop and grind day in and day out. Y’all sit here and judge kids who been being judged they whole life almost. Be lenient man
Charlagname : Coming from the hood how hard is it turning down the big deals that im sure they've offered you.
Lavar : Is not hard when you have a vision.
#POWEROFTHEMIND
Salute 2 the breakfast club for having the ball family on there show to interview and not insult lavar! Respect!
Mad respect, its shameful how a strong family man can be treated in a country he was born in. #Smh #BBB #StayInYoLane
“I think everyone here has stolen something at some point” Lamelo shock his head like nope not me, don’t drag me into this
Lucy Bell haha
“i’m sure everybody in here has stolen something before” *LaMelo shakes head Nahhh* 😂😂😂😂
Zion Waite 😂
A strong Black father teaching and loving his sons. Beautiful
🖤
Yea and they hate on that so bad cause he’s black and it worked wonder if he’s a mason?
Melo sleeping through the whole interview
He slow
He looks mad like he got forced to do this
I do what he does - lamelo ball every answer
Lamelo won this interview. He would have gotten in trouble if he answered those questions truthfully
Lava is the biggest jerk off in LA
Dan Le Didn’t know there volcanos in LA
How? I know that I've responded like that when I've gotten a talking to before something important.
You have to salute this man for his independent way of thinking. He’s literally creating a new path for future players to follow. The Big 3(Nike, Adidas and Under Amour) don’t want to see this but despite the salt people throw this is what the culture needs.
Bro melo still gives these types of interviews till this day in the nba 😂😂😂
If more black DAD's were like that we would have less single black women raising there kids on there own... And with discipline....wish I had a DAD like that.... Props brother...
There’s a lot Black Dads like that.
In this case, LaVar chose his wife and planned to have those kids. So of course he’ll be involved like this.
There’s a lot of lost men with
misdirection and no agenda thus the reason for this epidemic of missing fathers in children’s lives.
But it’s a two-way street and black women deserve some blame to for choosing these lost men to breed with. That’s the sad reality.
David Buchanon yeah, except Lavar’s wife is white. 😒
His wife is white, that's why he can be a dad.
Nah, a real man chooses to be a dad or whatever else regardless of what women do. Leadership, bruh.
F And statistically most white women that date black are single mothers actually.. Even more than black women so its actually us black men that need to do some self-reflection.
dead ass this is how i act when i meet random people wit my dad, i just let him do the talking and i chill waiting to leave 😂😂😂😂
Genaro Sanchez lmfaooo word pops you do the talkin imma save my breath
So you're fathers are not out to control all your life? You just choose to kick back? WOW maybe Lavar is just a "normal" father
Adam Firstman lol,I was the same way when I was a teen,I wouldnt have said much, because I was young and wouldnt have cared enough to talk,I'll let someone else do the talking,while I think about $$$ and bitches,but seriously once they hit they"re20s they would be able to hold they're own
Genaro Sanchez real shit
Genaro Sanchez 11
Hhfh
Every news outlet already posting something about the interview . This one's gonna be a classic
36TY Travis scott is that you??
Lmao....I can’t breathe lol
recoilrecoil lmbo
36TY Whenever Lavar speaks it gets picked up nationally. He is bigger than this show.
36TY definitely! He dropping gems
can we please get lavar ball and Donald trump together in a room
Lmao haha 😂🤣
Yessss
5:26 Liangelo's face when he realizes he could've just moved to another school instead of another country. 😂
True
To a non NCAA school perfect
Gelo:"Wha...Whats eligibility?"
Damn
😂😂😂
Those boys were EXTRA careful not to say anything wrong lmao, rightfully so cause media just waiting to twist their words
Che Gibson gelo awkward
yayii yu and slow
Gelo gave the media some heat with the Trump thing he said
Che Gibson facts. They couldn't wait for one of them to slip up.
Che Gibson it’s prolly cuz they’re not good with words lol
These kids & Migos took the same class on how to do an interview
Albert Williams the difference is migos are grown ass men and these are kids
+J F dont disrespect these kids like that,they're more of men then the migos
Wish I would’ve grown up with a dad like this💯
Lavar is smart as hell , and very well spoken and confident 👌🏾
Thank you
This interview was the calmest I've ever seen Lavar
You know, as much as I want to wave Mr. Ball off, he is handling his business and I cannot be mad at him. The passion he has for his sons, family, and building a empire is admirable!
dictatorship at its finest. There was Napolean, Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, Mussolini, & now you can add Ball on that list of greats.
But aren't all parents dictators? When watching, it does make me cringe a little but Mr. Ball has a son in the NBA playing for the Lakers, so until his method doesn't work on the other two he has no measure of failure. I learned a long time ago that just because I don't understand or like it doesn't make it wrong, just different from what I would do.
9:32 when you’re sitting in class and you see your friends in the hallway 🤣
What was he looking at?
" they hate that we ain't needy " #facts
Charlemagne and Lavar Ball in the same room....CLASSIC
The SIMPLE Supply now we just need Trump
Nah.
He makes perfect sense when he on the breakfast club and they play the entire interview.
Why do all these other media outlets chop it up and make him seem incoherent? The man dropping gems all over the place
i agree
This ain't new bro
Because he's a self made millionaire black man
This guys is so inspirational, he's so down to earth and street at the same time
!
it's a Big difference when the father is hands on with his children. Lavar keep doing what your doing, true inspiration for us younger brother raising our children. #moorthansports. #Legacy #Family #Blackexcellence
Charlemagne : melo
Melo : who me
OUJA TV Teenager...lol.
Man😂😂
Odie Crisp oh shutup
Lavar used to annoy me but after this interview my opinion has definitely changed. He's a real father unlike a lot of "dads" out here.
Keith Hubbard 💯💯💯
Patrick Jack you definitely have a point bro. But I think they still have a bright future with or without a college degree. And hey you never know they may get to kobe/ lebron level one day despite them not being that great right now.
This interview made me understand him way better , instead of looking at other opinion. He’s very inspirational wow
Them kids aint got a clue whats goin on....
Kristopher Brown why because they have respect for there father and other grown folks in the room?
Lol they shy that's all quit tryin to hate.
most kids don't at their age..
Lavar the only mf that can out bullshit charlamagne
LegacyPlays 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
LegacyPlays lmbo !!
If we’re not invested in our kids lives we get scrutinized if we invest in theirs lives we get scrutinized
thirdrayle well there is a balance
It aint that bruh. EVERY NBA player had involved coaches and/or dads. Kobe, Gilbert Arenas, Kyrie, Steph Curry, and more...each of their dads pushed them HEAVY. But you never saw their dads trying to hog the spotlight when their sons made it. You also never heard of any other players team having a meeting with a player dad telling him to behave himself, like the Lakers did with Lavar. I'm saying what Lavar does is beyond just being invested in his kids.
As long as it is for the kid out of love and not for the parent out of selfishness, then it is okay imo.
facts
archides2 true on be first part but lavar is that way cuz he’s marketing at the same time
LaVar is the type of guy where you can ask him just one "Yes" or "No" question and you could make it a 30 minute interview
This shit about to be trending #1
God your pathetic
Melo proly stayed up playing 2k 😂
Edgar Martinez That's so true!!! Lol
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Edgar Martinez lmao
Lmao
Edgar Martinez yes sir
You can tell lavar gets real when his voice gets low, and he says “you know what?” That’s when you can hear that he’s actually down to earth and has some actual knowledge.
Kyle Chaivs Fr 😂 Dude has a lot of Knowledge 💯
Never knew who Lavar was until now... love his family
"Never fight your brother."
"All three of y'all better jump in the van and be dead."
-Lavar Ball
This is parenting 101. I love this!!!
Charlemagne: LiAngelo what color is your Ferrari?
LiAngelo: What do you mean?
BDMoy lol dead!
He ain’t nervous, he’s dumb as wood 😂
Valentin Velkovski Not sure if you know this, the question was so stupid...
BDMoy lol!!! That's funny. I think he need to stay in school.
This should become a meme
They don’t understand him now but they will one day #BBB
“ I said we all was stealing “ 😂😂😂😭
Lavar Ball is a fckng legend! That's why these interview is fckng legendary! A instant fckng classic! Love this dude! Keep doing U my man!
