Just goes to show you how much personality matters. A future journeyman bench player, his two scrub brothers, and their crazy father dominate sports headlines not because of talent, but because of the crazy **** they say and do.

"I just didn't get along with the coach," he added.

translation: they were giving me the head coaching job.

No, he was jealous that coach has better shooting form than anyone in Ball family

Do you know what I would do if I was a professional basketball player and my father didn't get along with my coach?

I'd tell Dad to butt the hell out.

These Euro coaches don't play. They don't give a damn about Lavar or how famous he thinks he is.
And if he thinks he is going to get another shot in that league he needs to check himself because I"m pretty sure an amateur stunt like this has his whole family blacklisted.
Really a shame for the kids.

But most teams will be deterred since the really good ones dont need the exposure lavar and friends could get him.


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


LaMelo has more potential, but remember he's still 16. So makes sense that his less talented older brother is seeing more success simply because he's more physically mature and able to handle playing in a men's league, while Melo can't because he still a kid.

I would have guessed the dumpster fire Lakers. You guys need the talent.
