coaches not liking that story
After LaVar Ball story, Stan Van Gundy says he’ll deny ESPN its usual access https://t.co/GB9jSyp8yy— Kurt Helin (@basketballtalk) January 9, 2018

the lavar story is interesting, on one hand he’s clearly mentally ill and ESPN’s coverage of him is tabloid trash. otoh carlisle was saying things like ESPN owed it to the NBA, its “partner”, to avoid pushing these stories. so this van gundy comment is concerning given the context

the coaches def arent in this to protect journalism

i guess i can see why ppl cover lavar -- he's crazy, says crazy shit, and is a godsend for the hot-take machine. and i guess that extends somewhat to lonzo, despite his being the second-best rookie on a last-place team
but who are these people who want updates about teenagers playing in lithuania? it's not the offseason, there are actual nba games happening now! plus actual college games involving trae young, etc! i mean tebow was at least sent by god to spread his good word and has a built-in audience; why does anyone care about the lesser balls?
― mookieproof, Tuesday, 9 January 2018 20:46 (six years ago) link
because it's weird to send your teen sons to play in lithuania b/c you're killing time until they're allowed to sign with the lakers.

some other players have done it eg brandon jennings tho no one as young as the youngest ball afaik

Nothing will prepare you for the rigors of the NBA like playing hoops against kristaps' homunculi.

i'd be more intrigued if they were playing in magnitogorsk and all their road games involved eight-hour flights on afghan-war-era troop transports like the wnba players get

I have the inside scoop that indeed tons of middle/high schooler athletic kids love and religiously watch Ball in the Family.

gelos not gonna make the league, melo will prob get drafted, the plan is a non starter, maybe some team will sign gelo to their g league team idk
― lag∞n, Monday, 12 February 2018 21:18 (six years ago) link
I'd like to see Melo at least play in one of the better Lithuanian basketball leagues before I'd draft him
― reggae mike love (polyphonic), Monday, 12 February 2018 21:23 (six years ago) link
all the hs basketball sites have him listed as a 5 star prospect which doesnt guarantee getting drafted especially since hes only (the age of) a junior but it does give him a pretty good shot
― lag∞n, Monday, 12 February 2018 21:37 (six years ago) link
there's prob a few players in the NBA worth three roster spots but i don't think lonzo is going to be one of them
― J0rdan S., Monday, 12 February 2018 21:52 (six years ago) link
wonder if the lakers wld take a mulligan on drafting ball just based on this wacky dad

kinda cruel to take a 16 y/o from a situation where he was free to play like a bigger chucker than anyone wld dare in a pickup game and make him go against adults who are good at basketball
― lag∞n, Thursday, 22 February 2018 16:39 (six years ago) link
somehow melo's form is worse than lonzos. in general just looks like your average 16 year old hot shot at the local open gym who thinks he's way better than he is and who no one wants to play with.
― they call me melo gelo (Spottie), Thursday, 22 February 2018 16:41 (six years ago) link
dont think lavar's doing this for the hoops tho, the end goal for this fam is to be famous for being famous a la the kardashians n them
melos shot is all over the place too the only consistent thing abt it is the very low release point
