You can go back and forth about this but can't deny the fact that a father puts his sons in a position to succeed and in this case, Lonzo's pops did that with all his kids :nod:

Lets see how Ball does in March first. Can we just see that? How he does will be very important.


I have no problem with that. I was trying to be the voice or reason that's all.

I'm not a huge fan of Ball FYI

I don't know anymore if he is just an attention whore, mentally unstable, or both. Son isn't even in the NBA yet and he is already destroying their careers.

It's crazy...I was just about to post another tweet linking to same article but referencing the fact that he wants a 10 year $1 Billion shoe deal....doesn't need it all up front though. They'd be fine with $100 million a year for 10 years.

This has Lakers written all over it. Anytime we're successful there's always plenty of drama surrounding the team. :lol:

Yeah I heard about that. It's listen in the same article. How many years did it take MJ to reach billionaire? The guys is mental.

His father reminds me of Enes Kanter's agent when he first came into the NBA, and that did not end well for Enes or for his agent.

Wasn't Kanter the guy that said prior to Draft that he had the skillset of Pau Gasol, Dirk's shooting hability and Howard's strenght?? I doubt that his agent told him this.
When this account gets more "And1"s than posts written ...then my life will be complete. And maybe it will be the right time to hang it up. (Achieved on 2017-2018 season)...but still here.

genuinely feel bad for Lonzo. Not much he can do about his father

Ball is made for the Knicks.

Imagine the father's reaction if his son gets any boos at the NBA Draft. :lol:

And the sniping of Melo when Melo takes 20+ shots a game, he's gonna be the new Spike Lee courtside at games. "SON DONT PASS MELO THE BALL. DONT GIVE HIM THE BALL, TAKE THE SHOT!" while Melo looks at him with disgust. :lol:

He's going to call his son the savior of the Knicks and just **** on Porzingis.

I give it to the man, whether or not he is dumb enough to believe the crap he says, he gets exposure, people lap up the headlines. I think he probably is a whack job, but he is using the media to his advantage getting his name and brand out there for free.

He's like Miley Cyrus, she made her career last by being shocking and ridiculous. Kardashians follow the similar pattern.

We need to stop giving this guy attention. That's the only way it will go away.

He is doing what trump did a couple of months ago. He uses outrageous and polarizing claims to get exposure. Many will criticize him while others absolutely love him
So many people who attain the heights of power in this culture—celebrities, for instance—have to make a show of false humility and modesty, as if they got as far as they did by accident and not by ego or ambition.
