Lavar Ball has lost his mind
- Thread starter cottontowncat
- Start date
When the pro contract might never actually pay them, and even if it does would pay them the same as working the register at Dollar Tree...
And to think, i thought you had turned a corner as your last few posts in various threads weren’t terrible...
Look, this corny clown is still using this overplayed adopted term he heard from someone else. Dude is next level pathetic.
The stars in that league make 500 a month. Can't wait to read when Lavar cries foul when grown men start playing real ball with his kids. So yes, Lavar is an idiot to think that the NBA will draft his boys now. They won't even play significant minutes. Wonder how they will train.
Kris Jenner got hundreds of millions from her media company and ancillary business thru her daughter's. Ball will be paying hundreds of thousands to get his boys a chance....big difference bud.

247 just put out an article chronicling the rise of Lavar Ball. It’s quite comprehensive and entertaining while simultaneously sad. When this reporter asked Lavar about Liangelo, he basically called him a Charles Barkley/Reggie Miller hybrid. ![[laughing]](http://l.yimg.com/j/assets/img/emoticons/classic/laugh.r191677.gif "Laughing [laughing]")

Lol, you can't make $4000 in six months? Apparently you're impressed by nearing the poverty line.
Lavar heard that the team would sign his boys for 1-Million Drachma so that was all he needed to hear.
FWIW!

Jonathan GivonyVerified account@DraftExpressFrom what I'm told, salaries for players at this level of competition usually don't exceed $500 per month in the absolute best case. It wouldn't surprise me if the Ball brothers ended up playing for free. Certainly not the most glamorous league or part of the world to live in.

The two lesser BIGBALLERBRAND stiffs and their 1st sponsorship deal since signing for the "BIG $$$" in Lithuania!
Good. Revoke their passports and do not let the Kardashins of basketball back in this country. So tired of this act already.
Honestly I feel bad for the kids. They're essentially having their lives ruined by a tyrannical father. Imo, there's only one bad guy here, and he's gambling with other people's lives.

Something doesn't add up in these reports. For the younger player (LaMelo) who's only 16 years old, teams under FIBA aren't allowed to sign contracts with players until they turn 18.
Anything before that is a club-type system where the team pays room and board, provides development and some minimal education, reimburses for some expenses etc., but the players specifically aren't paid a salary.
I read somewhere else that 500.00 a month is the average pay over there. But daddy, Lonzo has plenty for us..I wonder if they will take their new cars with them?..
Lamelo at 16 could be extremely well off on his own in a few months just from marketing and adverts.
They better stay out of trouble, you would think being overseas would bring back bad memories. They won't put up with any of that being babied like they get over here. hope they keep them and have to beg Trump to come back.
Horrible money. Just all-around terrible decisions. Hope lavar knows about things like property tax...
I always chuckle at the inherent contradiction of caring enough to make a statement about how much you don't care. You're just virtue signalling.
This makes no sense at all, why not just keep them in the US and let them train. They are clearly not going to make any money in this league.
They would make more money working at a fast food place and get more playing time in a rec league.
What would Liangelo be training for? He’s not getting drafted and probably wouldn’t even make a G-League roster.
Lamelo won’t be eigible for the NBA draft until 2020. That’s a lot of training without competition. He could go into the G-League but he’s still two years away from that too.
Also, they don’t need basketball contracts to make money. They can make a lot of money with just advertisements and endorsements.
This team can't afford to practice. Has 1700 seats, 500 are reserved for marketing and family. Tickets cost 5 Euros. They must be paid 1000 bucks a year to play.
This is a pathetic contract and club they went to. Nothing but publicity and I for one hope they stay there.
Marketing & advertisements where? I know I’m not the core demographic but what companies are lining up to pay a 16-year old kid major money?
Especially one that likely will be halfway around the world sitting on the bench watching a bunch of older Lithuanians play ahead of him on an obscure minor league team.
He has 3.1 million followers on Instagram. There’s people who make a living off of that with a fraction of his followers.
Welcome to 2017 my friend.

Followers don't matter if you can't monetize it...
No one is looking for the 2 younger, lesser-talented balls... hence why they're headed to Bumfuc*istan to play for peanuts...
Best prediction is that the entire parasitic family sucks off Laker Ball until the money is gone.
