The only Balls having a worse day than Lavar and Lonzo:
Twitterverse destroying Lavar Ball

I certainly wouldn't judge the kid by the mouth of his father. Lonzo and Fox are good friends and speak highly of each other.
This. Lonzo seems like a classy kid. His dad is a complete idiot. Hope Lonzo makes it big in the NBA and gets away from bozo pop before he totally ruins him.
I have to agree Lonzo before and after was very complementary , I hope he has a great career and I hope he loud mouth dad gets a life time case of lock jaw !
You know...that is an interesting question. Another one would be, would we want him? I can't see Calipari every recruiting a kid with a parent like that.
I did hear Lonzo say "my dad has always been like this, I grew up with it, I'm used to it, you guys are just seeing for the first time"
While Lavar bothers me, he is making pretty good jack just marketing his sons and a brand. And Lonzo for the most part has quietly and modestly delivered on his dad's boasting. The Ball brand may go quiet for a couple of years, but for his efforts I suspect he's easily brought in 6, maybe 7 figures.
After watching a few minutes of that Stephen A. Smith think, (I couldn't watch it for much longer than that), I came away thinking Lavar is just a carnival barker who realizes that coaches aren't the only ones that can make some serious money in this game.

I don't think either are good enough to even be considered by Cal. I think their UCLA ride was tied to getting Lonzo and orchestrated by their nutjob dad. What WILL be interesting to see is if Alford stays he honors those offers or if he goes the next guy wants the Ball sideshow headache.
If I could link I would show Kurt Russell(Wyatt Earp) in movie tombstone after knocking of his first cowboy to avenge his brothers death and holding up the number one with his finger. UNC shouldn't even be competing add to that they are the media darling right behind Duke, this should be reason enough. Lets just hope lightning(Monk) can strike twice in the same place.
Lavar Ball a great role model but only in a negative way. Like an intelligent son who has a father who was/is a drunk. The son usually stays away from alcohol/drugs.
Lavon seems to have taken that lesson to heart. He seems to have good character unlike his nut case father.

The only Balls having a worse day than Lavar and Lonzo:
That hurt my marble sack...
Some lunatic tweeted Herbstreit that he was racist for cheering for UK. Some people are just sick and sad.
He was saying that Herby was racist for cheering against Lavar Ball...and that he wouldn't be cheering for UK if Lavar was white. Herby's response was perfect. "I feel sorry for you."
Well... That's certainly stupid.
Race has nothing to do with Lavar Ball being insufferable.
That's what young people do. If you don't agree with them, they claim racism. That's their argument. Morons
