****The Everything LaVar Ball Thread****

[stay lurkin]

There are helicopter parents of all colors. Don't see why you guys had to make this a race thing.

It is my personal belief that in general people who are different or people of color are typically judged differently. And often times don't get as many chances as the latter/norm.

But as far as this topic goes, yeah he is being that extra parent for sure. I could see protecting your children but he is absolutely being extra and if he doesn't chill his kids will grow to be crazy.

We all know how these people turn out .

General always makes it a race thing and it's the same people over and over

if this was in S&T there would actually be some level headed talk

Repped for truth.

It's not exclusive to any race. Growing up with many Asian friends/relatives and going to a private school for privileged white kids, I constantly saw parents with no talent trying to force their children to be excellent at things the kids had little to zero interest in. You'd think that it's because they wanted the best for their kids, but to me, it was always about improving their own status and living through the achievements of their children. Always bragging about what their kids accomplished at parties, meetings, etc. as if they personally had something to do with it

Spot on.

going in on their names tho?

Sorry y'all I am just getting caught up but this right here.

All I see is a bunch of goofy *** names in this thread including those

 

[stay lurkin]

I just seeing people clowning really

But it does come with this undertone of our reaction(s) to things that are different.

My man did not want to go to Vancouver 

My mans was UPSET! 

"There's a lot of pain behind those eyes" as if he knew he would eventually run into Stephen Jackson on a stage.

 

[hand2handking]

of course point the finger at me for the media and posters' biases

i made this about race

not the white writer paternalistically telling the dad to "shut up"

not the fact that when white fathers do it theres not nearly this backlash

its me 

 

[frshstunna]

im wit you on this part, i would say he just a proud parent

but dude said all this wasnt a mistake, he bred his sons, he always had a tall attractive woman on deck so he would end up breedin a hooper

after he said that i was wonderin his kids gotta know his dad only stuck around to use em as a meal ticket, but then again they could flip it on some its a good thing 

and then what type of position u put yo wife or bm in talkin stupid like that to a media source on video

or maybe he just always say dumb ****

all around he a clown usin his sons clout to talk crazy, he a lame flat out

My girl 6 ft and I'm 6'3 [emoji]128064[/emoji] u mean to tell me I got the next lamelo. Anybody know where to cop the Joe Jackson recipe?

I saw the episode of First Take with this topic and i cant be mad at Lavar.

He wants best for his child, comparing him to Curry was a bit much, but if you want your child to succeed you set standards for your kid

It puts pressure on Lamelo, but it should also push and drive to be the best.

Either way, all 3 kids should have a good career in basketball.

This is exactly how I feel about it.  He put the basketball in those boy's hands, and raised them to be in the position that they're currently in.  If anybody has the right to mooch off the success of those boys it's him 

.   The media is trying to spin his enthusiasm for his boys into something negative, and it's clearly working, because you got grown *** men hoping for the downfall of a talented 18 year old kid, just because his pops talks a little more than they'd like 

.  All so they can say "I told you so, you were wrong, ha ha ha".  Overly criticizing the game of a damn 15 year old.

Sorry but that is the world we live in, nearly everything as a racial aspect. As a person of color, you come to learn this.

For what?

serious? he said someone has to be better than MJ regarding Lonzo

stop being naive

Who the hell is that setting Lonzo up? You're making no sense.

Setting a high standard for your kid is bad now?

If he doesn't reach it, people like you will point and laugh, that's the only consequence. And if I were Lonzo, LaVar or anyone else, I would say........ so what?

Lavar must've went to the prestigious Joseph Jackson school of "hell or high water" parenting.
