UCLA's season is done and Lonzo Ball is headed to the pros, but his dad has plenty more to say.

ucla lost because the Russians hacked their practices and conspired with the officials to deny them the title, which they actually won but was stolen from them.

I heard it on CNN.

This guy is toxic.
Here’s another view. His boy got schooled. His boy laid down when the game was on the line. His boy costed the family brand a billion dollar shoe contract.

Is that why the 1996 NBA Olympians got their backsides handed to them, because the rest of the world is so slow?

LaVar needs to brush up on his basketball history. The Celtics won NBA titles with three slow white guys, Larry Bird, Kevin McHale and Danny Ainge playing big roles. But they had Dennis Johnson as their point guard, a player who did not have a history of allowing his opponent to score 39 points in big games.

I believe Howard Cosell said that about a black NFL player and got in hot water but history showed he said something similar about a white player many years prior.

Something like that but it was Howard Cosell

Jimmy the Greek made a comment about blacks being more physically superior for athletics than whites.......

Jimmy said black players had a physical advantage because their descendants had been slaves.

I wonder what the GOAT, Tom Brady, thinks of black supremacists like Mr. Ball?

Also won championships with Dave Cowens, Don Nelson, John Havlicek, Paul Westphal and Bill Walton. That’s back when they still allowed white guys to play in the NBA.

I agree. This kid is as toxic as Kaepearnick, only with a different ball.

The father is a complete jerk, and he is poisoning the water for the other 2 kids coming up behind the oldest one, IMO.
