I'm a Lavar Ball fan but I heard the interview where he said Shaq's kids and Lebron's kids ain't gonna be good and it's the dudes with subpar or average basketball careers that have GOAT sons (Curry, Kobe etc). That was wrong, I don't care how good or bad their kids maybe he can't make that call until they are at least in college playing.

But give them a chance to develop physically at least to college age before you start declaring whose going to be a failure or not. Cats still having growth spurts and going through puberty. A mofo already got the world on their shoulders just for picking up a basketball and being like they pops, give them a chance to figure shyt out physically

im gonna side with LeBron on this one.. that's some fukkboy shyt to bring up his kids
and you just want to side with bron just to side again lavar.

Truth is what lavar said was 100% Accurate. no lies told

Name a NBA GREAT that has a son that is remotely as good as his father was..


I'll wait

and again i said NBA GREAT. not good, not average. GREAT.

Steph pops was solid. but not great.
Kobe's pops was solid but not great

Klay's pops was darn good and klay is pretty darn good. luckily they play two completely different positions. cause that pressure would be serious.

No greats yet.

There's a lot of nba kids in the league now. non of them to are the kids of any of the greats where the kids ended up better or as great as their fathers.


Lavar's entire point was simple. If you're a great player. not good. but Great. #1 the time you have to spend being great is going to be taken away from your entire family(including your kids.) so you can't personally train up your kids like Lavar can or some other marginal player or some guy that never made the league. Nothing about that is mean spirited or meant any harm to bron or his fathering. bron can be a good father. but he can't be a great father. he's away from home too often to be GREAT. thats the thin line you run into when you work that much and travel that much. yeah i know his kids kids kids are rich cause of big bron. thats great. but money aint time. kids need and want TIME with their parents. lebron is no different then a CEO of a major corporation. flying from spot to spot, meeting to meeting. while the wife and kids/nanny are home most times. this is the life of someone making millions. you can't both be there a ton of time and make that kind of money. aint going to happen. This is why bron and some others are feeling some type of way. because they know this is also true. not just about the training. and bron's kids look to be pretty good ballers. so does shaq's kids. which lavar mentioned too. but will they be as great as their fathers? probably not. Shaq's kid has a shot since shaq isnt in the league anymore so he has more time to train him up if he chooses to. but that pressure to be as good as your father when your father was some anomaly like bron or shaq is insane pressure. It's not easy, but it's no where near as hard to Be better than your pops when your pops avg 2.2 points at a D-1 school. all you have to do is get into a D-1 college and play a few more mins and that avg is blown out the water. lol. if you make it to the league you're already ahead of pops. there is no pressure from what pops use to be on your mind or in people's mouths every time you make a mistake. We see how Jordan's kids panned out.

Lavar is telling you what we know is true. no one will give them that chance. thats the pressure of being Sons of Greats. not the Sons of avg or below avg ball players.

Man nobody gives a fukk about all that noise. Stop pretending like Lavar was in Lebron's son's best interest. Who is he to even comment on it? :heh:

Guess who has no idea what the pressure is like on an NBA player?

LaVar Ball, who never played a single possession in the league:childplease:

And now thanks to Lavar, he has put the exact same pressure and consequences on his own kids, DESPITE the fact that their daddy was never shyt to begin with. :mjlol:

This.

When that first Ball brothers clip popped up like two years ago, I sorta wanted them to succeed, especially the little one.

Now I'm just one of 100,000,000 basketball fans begging for them to fail.




I've never heard him speak outside of the robotic interviews he gives eveyr postgame, but they all come off as mouthbreathers to me. They seriously look like mutants.

:deadrose:


I had a friend who married a Filipina chick. He was stressing how the kids were going to turn out, saying, "Every mixed person I know is either really good looking or looks a little bit....off."

that makes absolutely no kinds of sense in regards to the topic at hand. Everyone knows that a greats kid has to deal with a ton of pressure growing up in his fathers shadow. it happens to kids of all walks of life. not just sports. but we've seen it in sports. "why you aint like your dad?"

I went to school with one of kareem's sons. we use to get at him daily for not shooting that skyhook. it bothered him like crazy. but his pops wasnt their like that either. due to playing so much and being such a star. he couldnt train his sons up to be the next Kareem or just the next great since non of them ended up being as tall as him but the one i knew was still pretty tall. he told me one day how he couldnt stand the way we would mess with him about that skyhook. he hated that shot because his dad was so good at it and it was too hard to do so he wasnt going to try it at all. that little pressure and we were just joking with him. was bothering him. how bad do you think them jordan kids caught it? lol. everyone Assumes you're going to be great. you have the genes. you have the money for training. you have the best player why not? thats too much pressure already.

is he right though? YES. and everyone knows it including lebron. he was making a point. he admitted because he was a nobody on the court. there's no pressure on his kids to be like their great father. and because he was not some star baller. he has all the time in the world to personally train his kids up to become great. again. nothing about that is incorrect. LISTEN to what he says and take your emotions out of it. you and bron need to do that.

So you nikkas ok when another grown ass man mentioning your kids? :scust:
Y'all talk about people's kids all the fukking time :dwillhuh:



There are threads here where people have highlights of LeBron Jr, and limelo, but because lavar said a true statement coli wants to act uptight.



It's 100% true that the expectations are high for kids of great.players. Even if the players themselves are good the perception will always be, why you ain't your dad

You are clearly more qualified to speak on this subject than he is.:yeshrug:

But that doesn't change the fact that he is giving an outside perspective on something he's never been through.

He's been on record saying he wants as much pressure on his kids as there can possibly be cause that will show how great they are.

Your friend had that similar level of pressure on him and look how that turned out:francis:
