Joel Embiid -- The Process is now Live

"Defend himself" please lol I'm sure Embiid thinks all of this is hilarious and is just having fun.

Yeah, I'm not sure why anyone is taking this "feud" as anything more than just a goofball messing around. The whole thing has been all fun and games since day one.

Yeah. He's such an ankle weight he is going to have 3 kids get full scholarships to UCLA and already has one son in the NBA. Got it. The Lavar hate is ridiculous.

What does Lavar Ball bring to the table for his son.

Is this a serious question? I never heard anyone ask what does Archie Manning bring to the table for his sons. I can't believe people are trying to discredit all Lavar has done for all of his sons. How many fathers can get 3 sons full scholarships to a division 1 college on a high level for a sport? Yeah. Lavar had NOTHING to do with that. It was all luck. Lavar played no part. :roll:

I think Lavar Ball is a damaged person and awful human being, but I admire how he's figured out how to position himself in life. He's a good visionary and he knows how to get results.

He's not an awful person. People need to stop saying this. He says outrageous things. He's a marketing genius.

I just find him annoying, and he is clearly a bad guy. Look no further than what he said about Lonzo's teammates at UCLA for everything you need to know about Levar Ball.

My advice to Joel would be to just ignore the trolls.

Lavar is not a bad guy. Come on. Has he said some dumb things? Sure. He says outrageous things. Look how hyped he made his son. He made his son so famous. Without Lavar Lonzo would be just another top prospect. But Lavar made this hypetrain so huge that Lonzo is selling out arenas. I like Lavar and just wish people would stop getting on him as if he's such a bad guy. He does a lot for kids in his area. He raised 3 good sons. He's just a loud mouth.

He IS a bad guy. Half the time he is pretending to be joking which makes people think that he isn't serious. He is a militant narcissist that is making everything about him.

And what he said about playing with white guys at UCLA was malicious, and classless.

His self promotion is fine. He wants to be a reality star and he will become one. How long until we get a reality show with that family? You know it's coming.

His comment about the white teammates shows what he will do if the Lakers are struggling for too long. He is going to be a major distraction.

I love Lonzo though as a player. I like him more than Fultz, and think he is going to be great for the Lakers, and I want him to be great. I just don't want Levar doing this routine all the time.

I'll give him that. He knows what he wants and he is going to get it. He is laughing all the way to the bank, but he is still an embarrassment. He is the Donald Trump/Kim Kardashian of the NBA.

I think his comments about the UCLA players were out of line and him talking about Kyrie's mom was put of line. Those are the only two things he has said that were wrong. That doesn't make him a bad guy. He just says a lot of nonsense.

Didn't he also go on Cowherd's show and then refuse to talk to his female cohost because she asked him about if he was going to market to women?

There's nothing genius about saying outrageous things all the time for attention. It's the Donald Trump school of grabbing headlines. All you need to be is narcissistic enough. He seems to have a big fan in you though.

Yup what he did to Kristine Leahy was disgusting. The guy is a Narcissist and nobody should be making excuses for the way he acts.

Just because she had the audacity to say she wouldn't wear BBB because it ignored the female market... he comes on the show, turns his back on her, tells her to "Stay in her lane" and calls her a "Hater".

Then she gets accused of saying that Lonzo suffers from "Child abuse" which she was then forced to deny.... which causes her to get death threats from Ball and Lakers fans.

Yeah... what a classy guy. :crazy:

Stop making up lies. Ball never threatened her.

Lavar is a self promoting marketing genius. The same way conor mcgregor is. Should he be boxing floyd? No, but his mouth landed him the biggest paycheck of his life, not his boxing skills.

Same thing with lavar. He knows how to entertain. Whether that is being the good guy or the bad guy. He gets it.

I think you need to re-read what I said.

"Ball and Laker fans".... not Ball himself. Also might want to research it for yourself before throwing around the "Liar" tag.

There's no genius to Lavar Ball's "marketing." If he's such a genius, why did no one even know his name until Lonzo came into the public eye?

You can be a "genius" too. Just have some degree of notoriety already, enough to get people to listen to you, and make completely outrageous claims that have no relation to reality (the more outlandish the better). Become "that person that makes kooky claims" and then start directing your ire towards relatively popular figures (e.g. "Lonzo is better than Curry" or "I could beat MJ 1 on 1") so the Reality TV watching audience of modern America starts asking for those people to respond.

When/if you get a response, instead of acting like someone rational who got called out for their BS, double down and/or make some kind of personal attack them ("it's not Lonzo's fault, it's the white people."). The edgy teenage crowd will think you've made some kind of poignant diss.

Like I said, it's the Donald Trump model of "there's no such thing as bad publicity." The only problem is you have to be a narcissist to pull it off, because most ordinary, sane individuals are not so thirsty for fame that they're willing to give up their integrity and subject themselves to be pointed at like the village drunk.

cant believe the fact, a sixers fan stand up for lavar ball lol. just stop it. lavar ball is almost on donald trump level of absurdity. he talks bs after bs and embiid spoke out what every sane person should think. **** lavar ball. he shouldnt get the attention he gets and thats why so many have a problem with him. nobody gives a **** about him, but still we hear his nonsense nonstop.

blame the media

Post #2019 » by **Sixerscan** » Mon Jul 17, 2017 12:44 pm

How about we just stop talking about this guy. Some people think he's a jerk some people think he's great. What more needs to be said? He's not in the NBA.

Lavar never threatened her and the lengths people are trying to vilify him and try to act like he threatened her are ridiculous. He said nothing threatening.
