Stop making up lies. Ball never threatened her.


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.

http://www.sportingnews.com/au/other-sports/news/lavar-ball-kristine-leahy-death-threats-argument-colin-cowherd-the-herd-fs1-lonzo-ball-jason-whitlock/q6g9jaw8tz61j3o1okza9381


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.


Again... why are you going on with the "Lavar never threatened her" when nobody even claimed that. He treated her like crap on her show and disrespected her just for having the audacity for saying she wouldn't buy his shoes as he doesn't cater for the female market. Exactly how thin is his skin?

Also he then abuses Jason Whitlock over his weight issues and says "he can't comment on anything but snacks" Really?

Lavar Ball is nothing but a pathetic scumbag. I don't understand how anyone can actually stick up for the guy when he is continually showing what an ass he is. I lost all respect for the guy after that. There is marketing your brand and there there is being a malicious piece of s#@t to hurt people.... because you can't handle criticism.

I'd be okay if we took a page out of /r/sixers and remove any content/conversation that's political, except this time remove anything Lavar Ball. That's censorship I can get around.

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.

She made some dumb comment about BBB being sexist because it doesn't have a female sneaker, implying that a men's only clothing store is sexist, which is idiotic. It's also ignoring the fact that BBB is a start-up and can't just immediately open up a women's division. He refused to talk to her after that comment and she then went on to say that he doesn't respect women, because he ignored her, one woman. She is an entitled brat. I don't like Lavar but he was 100% in the right with the way he handled her.

There’s never been a time in history when we look back and say that the people who were censoring free speech were the good guys.

I hate locking this thread over Lavar Ball. But this thread is over 100 pages so I guess it's time for a new one anyway.

Any future posts about Lavar Ball in Sixers threads that have nothing to do with Joel Embiid or any other Sixers will be deleted and the posters warned. Any discussion about Lavar Ball can go in the around the league thread.
