LaVar Ball: 'Slow white guys' kept UCLA from winning title, Lonzo played hurt in loss
Sports Illustrated ^ | April 6, 2017

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

In an interview with the Orange County Register, Ball discussed the Bruins' tourney exit, heaping the blame on UCLA's white players for being unathletic and revealing Lonzo apparently had a hamstring injury.

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

Say what? We went undefeated and won the gold medal in 96.

I think he also said blacks weren’t”bouiant” and couldn’t swim well because of it.

I coached hs baseball for 25 years. In that time I've 2 or 3 dads like that (and couple of moms) go through my program. I found that no matter how good they were their kids usually tough mentally. Too many excuses made for them along the way for them to take ownership of their efforts. I also found that often won more games after they graduated. The old “addition by subtraction”, hard to win a team game when one of your best players has been told its all about them.

The team constantly passed him the ball and then... not much happened. So now he blames it on an injury.

The kid is DEFINITELY as white as he is black.

Not exactly, but close. What Jimmy said was that the slaves had been bred by their slave masters to be bigger and stronger and therefore more phyical so they could work harder. It was the “breeding” comment that crossed the line for many people.

Sorry. Maybe it was 2,000.

I know the first time they went, they wiped the floor with everybody. I thought that was in 1992. I only know that they didn’t do so well the second time because much of the world caught up.

Oh, so it’s OK to say “slow” and “white” go together now? Then let’s talk about The Bell Curve. Biology is biology, after all. :(

Create a new league for Snowflakes and alternative-types.

They can go play with each other.

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

It’s going to get worst, Pops was spouting a couple months back how all three of his Sons are one and done to the NBA and all are going to UCLA. The middle Son LiAngelo or whatever his name is that is coming in next year really isn’t all that great a prospect. maybe a one and done to the Euro League, no way to the NBA. No doubt he will be ripping Coach Alford a new one every week next year for LiAngelo’s failures.

He may have a point...

If If UCLA had better & healthier players, they might have won it all.

(What a maroon.)

So I am an old grandpa watching grand daughter pitch. LAst All-Star season she pitched an inning and wou;dn’t go out again, She was just sitting in the stands crying. Couldn’t figure it out until later. One of her team mates sat there and bullied her. These are 8 year olds. The bully said she was a better pitcher. Coach put her on the mound and let her melt down. Gave up 6 runs, max allowed.
This year no one wanted the kid. Parents were toxic also. Wonder where the kid gets it. My daughter has told the league that she will not play with the bully on all stars this year. Grand daughter is second best pitcher in the league. Letters from parents whose kids have been bullied this year are into league. The All Stars will be great without kid this year.
Lo Ball’s dad is toxic and a bully. His kid laid down. Dad immediately blamed white kids on team. Pure racist dad.
