Lmfao....


“It’s the happiest win of a regular-season game that I ever had.”

However, he ended that interview with:

“Overall, we won. F*** it.”

Gasol probably heard about his fine and thought..."Totally worth it."

The school indefinitely suspending Liangelo doesn't suggest that they were looking to work with the Balls.

You realize that all 3 players were suspended indefinitely, right?

Heard an interesting and potentially pretty accurate theory on what happened with Lavar pulling LiAngelo out of UCLA.

Was listening to a talk show and one of the guys claimed to have talked to some folks "in the know" at UCLA.

Apparently, when doing their own investigation, UCLA discovered evidence that LiAngelo was the ringleader in the shoplifting scandal and the only one of the players who stole from all 3 stores that the players visited. Apparently, it got started when he tried to make a purchase in the Louis Vuitton store and his credit card was declined.

UCLA was apparently looking to move on from the Balls because it looks like there may be eligibility issues for LaMelo and, let's face it, without Lonzo and LaMelo, UCLA isn't even bothering to scout LiAngelo, let alone give him a schollie. The shoplifting scandal and LiAngelo being the ringleader gave them exactly what they needed.

According to what I heard on the talk show, UCLA may have called Lavar and LiAngelo in, explained that LiAngelo was the ringleader and that this could be handled quietly by Lavar and the Bruins with a "mutually agree that this is best for LiAngelo/pursuing other opportunities/we wish the best for this young man" press conference. It was said that UCLA even offered to help find a good landing spot for LiAngelo.

Lavar, being Lavar, decided instead to go all Lavar on them, blame UCLA and have LiAngelo throw the other 2 under the bus by claiming he just "followed their lead."

It's also believed that Lavar's reaction is why UCLA allowed LiAngelo being the ringleader and having his credit card declined to get out.

Yea. To be clear I wasn't criticizing UCLA. And I despise Lavar Ball.

But I understand why he took his son out of the school. What he's done after that is pretty ridiculous.

What was UCLA supposed to do different? Was LiAngelo supposed to receive different treatment than the other 2 because his Dad is famous for being an idiot?

All 3 were suspended indefinitely and told they would have to earn their way back. From the reports I heard, the other 2 have been busy doing exactly that.

The next time someone else represents the east? Over or under 2.5 years from now ?

As I said, I'm not criticizing UCLA's actions. I'm not really defending Ball's either. I simply understand why he did what he did.

You'll have to explain it to me then. Because, other than profound stupidity, I have no idea why he would do that unless the scenario I posted about in post #4587 is true.

Even then, why go "scorched earth" when UCLA was apparently offering to help him find a landing spot? Especially since, according to UCLA, LiAngelo was the ringleader.

Do you guys have any idea the amount of pages and pages of Wiggy's Cavs hype you're missing out on? With the way LeBron has been preforming at the end of games lately it would've been out of control.

There you go Mecca stirring the pot. All I can say is hell yeah! I mean what could go wrong by mentioning LeBron's name in any NBA thread?

He is a smart businessman, why would he want to go to that dumpster fire team. He doesn't.

I'm a fan of Coach Kruger's. He was the HC @ UNLV when I was a season ticket holder. I hope OK is the place he can finally get his elusive title.
