Why does Lavar keep opening his big mouth?

LaVar Ball says Lonzo will 'step over' Magic to be best guard ever...


Of all the stupid shit he's said so far this is the dumbest.

think he said that yesterday. yeah, sometimes i think he talks shit because people expect him to...

I just ran across the article a few minutes ago.

New York ousts Phil but still is going to Knick.....

Yep.

At this point, it's exploitation.

He said it on air during the game.

They bait him for the sound because re and he goes for it every time.

 

[Wamu]

Yep.

Okay so Lonzo will be a better PG than the best ever. Lonzo's also already better than Steph. How soon before Lavar calls Westbrook & Harden bitches that got no basketball skillz?

 

[DJ Fieri]

Yeah, I can already see stud written all over Ingram.

I know you don't like this....

But, Ball will end up being in the mold of Kidd, I honestly believe that.

Hear me out....

They both have size, Lonzo is actually bigger and elite court vision, passing skills.

That size will make Ball a good rebounder at the of position, just like Jason.

Lonzo is not going to score a ton of points, that's not his game.

Kidd had a career scoring average of 12.6 ppg.

What Lonzo doesn't have is Kidd's defensive ability.

That's where they differ.

Jason made a all defensive Team 9 times, 4 of them 1st Team.

Lonzo is not the fastest fella and had problems keeping a journeyman like Marshall in front of him.

So, he is gonna have problems with the Westbrook's, Kyrie's Cp3's and Curry's.

But, guess what?

So does everyone else.

I think Ball can develop into a decent defender.....it may take him 2-3 years but at 6-6 he can defend the PG's not named RW, Irving, CP, and Curry.....

never know, he MIGHT go that far...

You've got to wonder if the Warriors are afraid of the 76ers.

First, Durant comes out and disses the 76ers having a nickname when they've got like 100 combined games between their 4 top prospects. This guy just won Finals MVP and he's talking about the 76ers.

Then, the first chance the Warriors have to face off against the 76ers, they try to take out two of their promising young players on the same play.

I don't think they're afraid, no.

Getting Carroll eliminates the Nets from the KCP sweepstakes...

They still have almost 17 mil.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

I don't think they're afraid, no.

Short and sweet...lol

 

[Wamu]

Very true. But we have both seen enough great CBB players that were supposed to be the next thing & then fall flat on their face once that get to the next level. My favorite example was Danny Ferry will be the next Larry Bird. There have been so many so-called can't miss players over the decades that ended up peaking in college instead of the pros.

I'm not saying that will happen to Lonzo though. From what I've seen of him between his 1 year @ UCLA & the Summer League games I think he'll have a solid career. But I can't say anymore than that right now.

 

[Black Adam]

Short and sweet...lol

lol, not a lotta grey area there...

 

[Wamu]

Short and sweet...lol

That's what Danny Ainge calls IT.

Okay.....the tried to take them out part is a stretch, no?

That elbow was brutal. But, looked unintentional.

Fultz landed on the back of someone's foot, he wasn't pushed.

As far as your Team goes, you guys did a perfect job in the draft and in Free Agency.

You have 3 guys with future All star potential and now you have shooters to compliment them.

If Health is not an issue, I think you could be a playoff Team.
