ESPN ^ | December 7, 2017 | Jeff Goodman

Posted on 12/08/2017 5:16:58 AM PST by C19fan

LaVar Ball told ESPN that his sons LiAngelo and LaMelo Ball have signed with agent Harrison Gaines, ending any speculation that LaMelo will play college basketball. The plan is now for both to play on the same team overseas.

"I don't care about the money," LaVar Ball said on Thursday morning. "I want them to go somewhere where they will play them together on the court at the same time. The priority is for the boys to play on the same team."

A word of advice to the LeSteal family: don’t do that overseas again. Particularly, avoid Singapore, Turkey... well, everything East of Germany, really.

I understand the name The Melon Ball. But I still haven’t deconstructed Li Angelo.

I just saw some other article that says no top tier EU team would want this circus and the boys don’t have the talent - so if they claim to get a deal, sounds like it’ll be just for the PR value to some third rate team, basically an extension of their reality show.

No, let them play in Saudi or Iran. So when they get caught stealing, we can see how well they play after their right hands get cut off.

His wife suffered a stroke back in February that left her hospitalized until May and unable to speak. She's undergoing rehab right now.

You can say a lot of things against Ball himself, but he and his wife and sons are a close-knit family.

I have witnessed this first hand with hockey parents. For all intent and purpose the kids are finished. They will never see the NBA and they just lost their college eligibility. In other words, they will be decent players at 4th street park in the village and if they live that long play Thursday nights at the Y with the rest of the ancient wanna be NBA’ers.

So are a cackle of hyenas.

So are a pride of lions.

So are a...well, you get the point.

Predators are predators.

The only difference is that a hyena or a lion or a grizzly does not attempt to justify what they do...nor do they seek recognition for what they do...they just do it, because they are wild predators.

But this family...they're so close that the values they live by are...non-existent.

They have already demonstrated that they will steal, lie, cheat to accomplish their goals.

In the overall greater scheme of things, who needs them?

Nobody.

This piece of street detritus has managed to stretch his 15 minutes of fame out to 20...now he's robbing his wife and his children of the minutes of fame they were allotted.

Seriously...who cares?

I actually like yours better than my suggestion of China! Then, again. In China, they'd still be in jail.
