Around the League: Week 12 1/1-1/7
Re: Around the League: Week 12 1/1-1/7
no way interested in LOnzo. Dont need the distractions. Can you imagine Lavar and McD?
Re: Around the League: Week 12 1/1-1/7
Maybe $aver would sell the team to Lavar Ball.

We just got rid off Klutch Sports, really weary to stablish so soon a relationship with another partner unwilling to compromiso for the greater good

At the draft I had Lonzo at #1. On talent alone he may still be #2 behind Tatum, but the noise around him is way louder than I could have imagined. Don't want.

Speaking of the Ball family, their brand is experiencing some difficulties:
The Better Business Bureau has given the Big Baller Brand the lowest rating possible: an F.
On its website, the organization says Big Baller Brand's ratings are based on 32 complaints filed against the business, a failure to respond to 12 of those complaints and five complaints that still haven't been resolved.
Most of the complaints are from people who said they bought an item from the Big Baller website in November and December, and that they were charged for their orders even though that item or items have failed to show up.

Yeah, LeBatard show went off on them yesterday. One of the complaints said that when they contacted Big Baller Brand he was called a "Small Baller" lol.
Go Suns!

The Ball family is going to find that attention from ESPN is a 2 edged sword.
And, I notice that ESPN is really the only outlet 'reporting' about Lavar and the Ball family. Nobody else cares.

i see Lavar headlines all the time on Yahoo news. the absurdity. imagine if the media interviewed and posted comments from all of the player's families.O_Gardino wrote:

imagining a trade for Lonzo is another absurdity
the Lakers will have the perfect role for him to play as the facilitator for a couple of scoring superstars soon, whereas his shooting problems won't matter much
i want no part of him or his family here
he's got a great basketball iq
but his general iq is highly suspect
he tends to get a pass on that because his father is so outrageous in comparison
but his silence on many matters speaks volumes
the $500 shoes, the Walton dis, etc..
he rewarded his father's overbearing stupidity by buying him a Rolls Royce for xmas
Re: Around the League: Week 12 1/1-1/7
No it doesn't. Any "Dad, knock it off" comments belong behind closed doors. I'm not going to blame Lonzo for not publicly berating his father.1tinsoldier wrote: but his silence on many matters speaks volumes

speaking of players i don't trust
what's up with that nasty Isaiah Thomas foul?
he's another quiet one with a dark side

Re: Around the League: Week 12 1/1-1/7
Strange play. I don't know if he was trying to hit Wiggins in the neck the way he did, but I can't tell what he was trying to do. Maybe he was just so pissed off about being down 30 that he decided to assault somebody. I can't tell.1tinsoldier wrote:speaking of players i don't trust

Definitely the right call based on the replay, but I find myself left wondering what was going through IT's mind.
ETA: He says he was going for a steal. http://www.cleveland.com/cavs/index.ssf ... _goin.html

you're going the extra yard to NOT blame him by injecting "berating" into the scenarioCap wrote:No it doesn't. Any "Dad, knock it off" comments belong behind closed doors.

he simply needs to speak up for himself like a man and air his opinions even if they don't align with his father's
his father speaks for himself, and should respect him for doing likewise
damn, the shoes are LONZO Ball shoes, not Lavar
IF THE $500 SHOE FITS WEAR IT!
i'd tell my dad, if you can't keep your career damaging comments "behind closed doors" neither will i
besides, if Lavar is insulted by something Lonzo says, Lonzo can always buy him another half a million dollar car to keep him happy

Re: Around the League: Week 12 1/1-1/7
i think IT is a small player with a big talent who has always played with a "chip on his shoulder"
down by 30 was a chip knocker in one of his first appearances for the top ranked Celtics

Re: Around the League: Week 12 1/1-1/7
Not sure what motivated the initial foul, but IT was saying "I'm sorry man." as he walked toward Wiggins laying on the floor. Then just before he exited, he looked over to Wiggins and gave him a thumbs up and say, "My bad." In the middle of the game, you aren't thinking sometimes. It might be that he thought Wiggins was going to extend the ball in front of him and he wanted to knock it out by swiping up at it. Or maybe he was just frustrated and took a swipe at him. Either way, I am glad to see it did not escalate into anything more.1tinsoldier wrote:i think IT is a small player with a big talent who has always played with a "chip on his shoulder"

BTW. IT has some massively long fingernails. That is scary in basketball. Xavier McDaniel used to keep his fingernails long as a defensive tactic. Yikes.
Re: Around the League: Week 12 1/1-1/7
When my kids used to play, they'd line them up before the game and check their fingernails. Maybe they need to start doing that in the NBA.JCSunsfan wrote:Not sure what motivated the initial foul, but IT was saying "I'm sorry man." as he walked toward Wiggins laying on the floor.
