Lavar pulls LaMelo and LiAngelo out of Lithuania 

Post#1 » by RyderMike » Wed Apr 25, 2018 7:10 pm

Basketball club BC Vytautas told 24 Sek's Donatas Urbonas that both LiAngelo and LaMelo Ball are set to leave Lithuania next week, with two games remaining in the team's season. Their father LaVar confirmed this to Urbonas.

"We're not going to waste our time no more", LaVar is quoted as saying. "I just didn't get along with the coach," he added.

He didn't like the coach? I'm shocked. That coach must be a real a hole. How can you not get along with Lavar? Sheesh.

Liangelo actually played well. Lamelo just isnt ready for that level yet, despite showing some flashes. Lamelos best hope is joining some good youth program while working out with the pros.
But most teams will be deterred since the really good ones dont need the exposure lavar and friends could get 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.

Lol at Lavar didn't get along with the coach. Lavar isn't talent, hell, his kids could barely be classified as talent.

That's interesting for LiAngelo since supposedly he's the less talented of the two.

Yea, I liked Lavar in the beginning, but I'm starting to wonder if the pundits are right that Lavar's hurting his sons more than he's helping. :noway: Like seriously, what's next?

What’s next for LaMelo and LiAngelo? Will they finally overpower their crazy father and begin to make their own decisions like grown men? Will they resume their education? Will they go play in China? Will they stop that fruity eyebrow cut nonsense?

Find out next time on....Lavar Ball Z!!!

Well of course he did. People stopped talking about them, what else was he supposed to do?

Yea LiAngelo is more ready to play right now. He shot 41,5% from 3 on 5.9 attempts and with 12.6ppg was the team's 2nd best score while playing only 21mpg. Only 1TO per game so it's not like he was destroying his team. And he was physically also ready to defend multiple positions.

Lamelo just has an insanely low basketball IQ and can only affect the game by jacking multiple threes. If he doesn't make those shots, he can't influence the game at that level. He is still just a high school player

Bad news for the Lakers ... it'd been so peaceful with Lavar out of the country.

The only thing that could be worse for the NBA is if a Kardashian starts to date either 1 of them...

First news I've heard about them in awhile. Is everyone is burnt out on this family already?
