Due to a lot of people talking shit in the comments, I need to address 2 important things: 1. I'm not clickbaiting or getting paid for you guys clicking the video. A lot of ignorant people think clicks get me money. They don't. 2. I made this video to discuss the topics described by Jordan and relate them to modern examples like the Ball Family. I'm not hating on the Ball Family. I actually fucking love Lavar and what he is doing. I was merely showing the other view through a prominent player like Jordan.
T.Jay I think this is a great topic. Jordan didn't out right predict anything. I think he was talking more about the LeBron James generation of major shoe deals before ever even stepping on an nba court. But I see how this could have translated into someone like Lonzo Ball being so hyped up that now he must meet all these high expectations placed on him. Back in the day you had to get rookie of the year, make an all star team, and establish yourself as an elite player before getting major contracts like Michael Jordan did.
This has nothing to do with the Ball family. They didn’t take any endorsements. They are working hard for what they got. Why are people trying to bring them down. No days off is there motto. They stay in the gym. They are not potentials. Man JEALOUSY is root of all EVIL.
remember this is about 15 to 20 years old.i don't see why the ball's were labeled on here.he was talking in gerneral,then again these ass wholes get paid when you click thumbs up or like.so they can print lies and get paid
FingerDawg That’s your opinion and you are entitled to it. Many in America and into money just like Jordan and Donut the walking Chuck kids will. So for me to feel salty about young basketball players having it easy, somebody had to set that path it just happen to be Jordan and Company if it wasn’t them somebody else would have done it. There are many who take the hard path to earn what they got.
He refers to those players who are supposed to be franchise players and they could either become the great player everyone is expecting or turn out to be just another normal player.
Alejandro Alvarado Remember the time when Lavar said he Better then Steph Curry.... And Lonzo Get paid 22 Million dollar before he even played a single NBA Game... And then what happen..... Owwww Lonzo hasn't played a single NBA Game since December
Yes YES Ohhhh great "So i'm getting paid 6 Million a year by sitting on the Bench" While Kuzma paid only 1.5 M improving himself to be the best player on the Lakers Team.... As A Bench Player
yohanes eistein He isn’t sitting on the bench by choice. And he is improving himself as well. Why are you mad? Kuzma is being paid less cause he wasn’t a lottery pick. The first few picks get a much better contract, it’ll change at the end of his rookie contract
DMV Weezy for the hype he came in the league with he suppose to BE there...half way in the season we find out he aint even the best rookie on his own team and went before at lease 4 other guys better then him right now
the difference is that by predicting your potential team owners can get more from u. is like prdicting a stock is going up. u want to buy it at a low price.
I think a lot of people miss the point on this one even though Jordan isn't talking about the ball family directly it still applies to them the fact that a lot of this up and coming players don't really need to work hard to get paid or a shoe deal because basically it's given to them, now back in the days only the elite players get those type of deals but now if you have 1 breakout season u can reup for the deals that Jordan was getting and for the rest of your career you don't have to do shit, if you look at the ball family what have they done to earn a shoe deal? Nothing! Even tho it's Lavars doing Lonzo is an average player and his brothers are overseas but there commodities and Lavar knows it, only elite players deserve max deals and endorsements if your shit work hard to get said treatment
most people don't even realize that Michael Jordan was vastly underpaid (salary wise) compared to other stars throughout most of his career. He got the big bucks ($30+ mill a year) in his last 2 seasons with the bulls. Quote from MJ in 1988 after signing his new 8-year $25 mil contract "I think it makes me work harder and earn what I'm getting paid" GOAT
If you guys don’t see the connections this video is trying to portray here it is, at the end mike is saying if someone gets it too easy they won’t work as hard and saying this lonzo was given a pretty easy route to the NBA and people are saying he needs to step up his game. Showing that his statement was “accurate” to a extent
Ball family is hard work! I see what he means but bad comparison because Lavar trains his kids to win at all costs. Not to just enter the league and get fame from media but to actually play the game and win every basketball game they play and I like that about them, doesn’t matter if lonzo scores 50 if they didn’t win it doesn’t mean shit to them.
He just described whole ball family perfectly! Lavars mouth had us thinking lonzos the next coming of magic and melos gonna be a star. Most BBB fans are paying for the potential and you have to wait like 5 years to see if it plays out.
First of all they don’t have an endorsement they are their own brand built from the ground up 💯 and those boys father has them training literally everyday so they worked for where they are
Kingcrooks1 Training is not the same as playing an NBA Game.... Lavar wants Lonzo to get paid 22 Million dollar by the Lakers and he hasn't even play a single NBA game.... And then what Happen, He got Injured
Dude Lavar wants his kids to have a billion dollar deal before they play a nba game yet alone a college game. You have to be worth a billion dollars to have a billion dollars.
HUGE difference with the Ball family! They're doing everything themselves from the bottom! Yeah they make money for Interviews but thats not really sponsorship, thats business!
Obviously when gelo ball stole sunglasses and messed up his chances of being in ty nba he was given every tug and didn’t have to work for it that’s the connection how can u not see he connection
Low-Key Nice you reaching with that comment lol. The interview was about players getting paid lots of money by endorsers and before they even prove that they are worth the money being paid. They are working hard to get their money by advertising themselves and their own brand so whatever money they make they deserve it from their hard work. (I’m not a BBB fan I’m just speaking the truth)
Jordan Earn Billion Dollar because what they have done.... Mean While Lavar Want Million Dollar from Lakers to Lonzo... Who hasn't even play a single NBA Game
yohanes eistein listen to the interview it’s very short they are talking about endorsements. They stated players are getting endorsements from corporate America without even proving they can play and besides that Lavar has nothing to do with the money Lonzo is getting paid. He’s on a rookie contract getting paid the amount a second overall draft player suppose to get paid which is about 6 plus million a year. Ben Simmons is getting pretty much the same about 6 plus over 3 years
Enough said! Mike is a beast for real! There will never be another Mike. Stop trying to be like Mike and create your own destiny to greatness and just say you wanna be as good not better; your stripping him of something you will never experience by saying you wanna be better than Michael Jordan. Praise I respect Michael Jordan and stop at the blasphemy.
Kong Tom / Hold up swolled up and give a real one 10 Feet with all that girly talk on the internet. I’m following the ball family and like what there doing 100%. All I’m saying is what I said. “Create your own legacy” and don’t compare yourself to someone who has already proven themselves in the NBA! Question, how many pair of Jordan’s have you owned and how many pairs of Z02’s you got?
I feel that is true when someone hands you million dollars every year for 5 years it is different from you putting in work those 5 years to show your worth more because you proved it 💯 #easy money its even easier to become comfortable in the moment
yea it's a lot of players who don't work as hard everybody should be playing like LeBron and Steph and Dwight should of been scoring 32 and 30 subscribe to real one tho
I disagree, when my job hires me at a certain salary before I step in the building I still have my personal work ethic to do my job and continue my personal improvement
METTA WORLD PEACE YOUNIOR you sound stupid asf though. Even if your an executive somewhere you're guaranteed a certain salary. But when you work hard and exceed expectations, you're able to earn more and move up in the company
LetMeSeeThis99 regardless. Im the NBA you can have a shoe deal but no championship ring So there's still something you could be working hard to accomplish
The market was not as competitive in the Jordan / Barkley era. Now, big sponsors are forced to speculate, making an investment in young players because if they don't, there competition will. If they don't make that investment it's a potential loss in millions of future revenue.
The comment section is really dumb y’all gotta be missing many brain cells to not get this.. he’s saying players like Bennett who were 1st picks or high picks like that have been given a lot of money and endorsements before stepping on the court fultz is another and basically Lonzo is one too they are getting way too much money for something they haven’t even proved MJ scores 30 ppg his rookie year in CONVERSES he deserved his own shoe and endorsements that he got Lonzo hasn’t played like the number 2 pick at all this year he’s not a top 5 rookie but he has his own shoe it makes no sense how his dad says he he earned it and only played in high school and college games and was great at that if that’s the case many people should have they’re own shoe... all leading to say if your getting the ultimate prize handed to you after you’ve done little work you won’t work so hard to get it bc it’s coming so easy
Gerald .Watson His family made his shoe. They have worked hard for what they have as a family and he deserves that. Nike didn't hand him a shoe or any other big company. And ball has been playing amazingly and is definitely playing like one of the best rookies. The Lakers are lost without him since he's hurt right now
Nathan Casey ball is playing alright let’s not over exaggerate like he’s the best rookie he started looking like a bust just bc he’s coming around doesn’t mean shit bc he’s the 2nd pick and is clearly not playing like it there’s a number of rookies who were selected after him that are playing way better so with that being said there earning more than he has and if I may ask what has he earned?!?? A state championship in his last year of high school and he also didn’t win ncaa title ok and he’s supposed to be this million dollar talent alright he hasn’t earned it yet Jordan did tho is what he’s saying when he got to the league there’s a number of players who got endorsements and other things given to them before they entered the league and when it all came down to it the player wasn’t as good as expected so Jordan is speaking on potential Lonzo hasn’t shown he’s going to be worth a billion or a HOF one day Jordan did the moment he was rookie
El Tigre that has nothing to do with the fact that KAJ potentially could’ve been a bust coming out of college.. there’s a possibility that KAJ could’ve flopped after all that he did before he got to the nba but after proving how he could dominate in the nba like he did in hs and college he got what he earned your thinking about after all his accomplishments in the nba he was given what he earned which that part is fucked up but coming straight out of college is widely different
Javi G yeah it’s not an endorsement but do you see how Lonzo and lamelo treat basketball as just a game?? It is but to a certain extent it comes to I want to win and actually have the look to do it (agrssiveness) they don’t have that and giving them things they don’t deserve yet is putting a bad work ethic on them bc they got it so easy
Jordan in 100% correct why do you think all these old timers are still running sport. Mayweather, lebron, Brady, Federer to name a few. We are getting soft real quick.
DARNELL STOKES Le’Bron has been working on his craft since a kid, and was MR Ohio he put the work in But Jordan was cut from his Team in high school, I think he has a point for the ones that didn’t have the easiest route but had to really put the work in to get to the Top. Russell Wilson’s, Nick Foles, Cardell Jones
I'm all for players getting paid right away. Why do people always complain about what players make, but no one complains about the owners, TV companies, cable companies, advertisers, reporters etc who make billions off of these players?
This has very little to do with a basketball family or even hardly connected to the Ball family. Hes just saying how now we pay rookies off potential, which i can VERY vaguely connect it to the Ball family, if not, every rookie coming into the league lol
Actually ball brothers like liangelo and lámelo are trying to prove their worth, they are balling overseas instead of following the status quo in college ball
The reason corporate America goes to these young kids before they do anything is because nobody wants to miss out on the “next” Michael Jordan or Lebron. It’s worth it for them to spend millions on busts for that one guy who will generate multi-billions. I’m sure Mr. Jordan knows this, even though he clearly does not like where the business has gone.
well those people who you are trying to impress.... the sponsors... well Mike they parents gave them everything.... and now they are your boss....soooooo.... how bout not worrying about whether these people are getting what they paid for.... and worry more about how we can get more money for the youth.... because you didn't stop working hard when you got your big pay day and neither will they
I think you can go as far to say that that not only goes for the Ball family, but athletes in general in this day and age. Many athletes and entertainers feel entitled.
this is facts but to divide this point: is the Ball boys and n Lavar worked to get there Facts. but since then we seen some up and downs to MJs Philosophy induced to the Ball Family and I must say this implies in anything possible crazy part of this philosophy it easily relates to a young buck name Johnny Manziel
This has nothing to do with the Ball bros. The market is and always has been determined by supply and demand. Remember Lonzo turned down endorsements to persue his own brand.
The Reason so you think they should turn down money because they should .... So your logic is if someone offers you millions of dollars for something you were doing for free your whole life you shouldnt take it cause its the right thing to do 😂😂
The Reason well I didn't get his point so maybe you can explain it to me, in that scenario its the only thing the guy who works for Nike can say don't hold your breath if you think this guy has any morals
Due to a lot of people talking shit in the comments, I need to address 2 important things:
1. I'm not clickbaiting or getting paid for you guys clicking the video. A lot of ignorant people think clicks get me money. They don't.
2. I made this video to discuss the topics described by Jordan and relate them to modern examples like the Ball Family. I'm not hating on the Ball Family. I actually fucking love Lavar and what he is doing. I was merely showing the other view through a prominent player like Jordan.

airhawaii23 out of the hundreds of comments, I finally got something coherent
T.Jay Click Bait. All these lame ass UA-camrs hating on #BBB non stop. Lame
IonlyRob White420Dealers did you read my comments?
Yesss
This has nothing to do with the Ball family. They didn’t take any endorsements. They are working hard for what they got. Why are people trying to bring them down. No days off is there motto. They stay in the gym. They are not potentials. Man JEALOUSY is root of all EVIL.
remember this is about 15 to 20 years old.i don't see why the ball's were labeled on here.he was talking in gerneral,then again these ass wholes get paid when you click thumbs up or like.so they can print lies and get paid
Lol exactly this guy is just a hater and wants to make things look bad against the Ball brothers.
Facts my guy
TO ALL HATERS GOD BLESS THE BALL FAMILY BBB 🏀🇺🇸🇱🇹✈🌎📷📹📼📺💸💷💶💷💲💰👟🙌

I wish mj shared his opinions more with people, he's knows so much about the game of life and basketball
He refers to those players who are supposed to be franchise players and they could either become the great player everyone is expecting or turn out to be just another normal player.
Alejandro Alvarado Remember the time when Lavar said he Better then Steph Curry.... And Lonzo Get paid 22 Million dollar before he even played a single NBA Game... And then what happen..... Owwww Lonzo hasn't played a single NBA Game since December
yohanes eistein He is injured. when he was playing, he was great. you're just trying to create drama
Yes YES Ohhhh great "So i'm getting paid 6 Million a year by sitting on the Bench" While Kuzma paid only 1.5 M improving himself to be the best player on the Lakers Team.... As A Bench Player
yohanes eistein He isn’t sitting on the bench by choice. And he is improving himself as well. Why are you mad? Kuzma is being paid less cause he wasn’t a lottery pick. The first few picks get a much better contract, it’ll change at the end of his rookie contract
Yes YES if he Improving Himself tell me, How Many Games does Lonzo Play Since December ????
1:46-1:50 = 👏👏👏
Who is watching this after Michael Jordan and the Charolette Hornets drafted LaMelo Ball in the 2020 NBA Draft?
Wtf is Charles wearing
David Mann NC blue tracksuit
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
oprah was modeling Jordan clothes and Chuck surprised MJ by showing up in his clothes.
Hes relaxed he doesnt have to dress how u want him to because hes rich
David Mann DJ Khaled
You're right in a sense but Lonzo Ball does have a good work ethic! He jus isn't there yet!!
DMV Weezy yea he's a rookie lol
DMV Weezy for the hype he came in the league with he suppose to BE there...half way in the season we find out he aint even the best rookie on his own team and went before at lease 4 other guys better then him right now
Well thats the problem... He hasn't prove himself, yet Lavar wants Lonzo to get Paid Million Dollar by the Lakers
And then leave when the other two balls cannot play in the NBA...
We doesn’t put in all his energy in the games tho. He can be aggressive but he chooses not to most of the times
the difference is that by predicting your potential team owners can get more from u. is like prdicting a stock is going up. u want to buy it at a low price.
Yeah I agree with him 100%
I think a lot of people miss the point on this one even though Jordan isn't talking about the ball family directly it still applies to them the fact that a lot of this up and coming players don't really need to work hard to get paid or a shoe deal because basically it's given to them, now back in the days only the elite players get those type of deals but now if you have 1 breakout season u can reup for the deals that Jordan was getting and for the rest of your career you don't have to do shit, if you look at the ball family what have they done to earn a shoe deal?

This is more about LeBron than BBB
If you guys don’t see the connections this video is trying to portray here it is, at the end mike is saying if someone gets it too easy they won’t work as hard and saying this lonzo was given a pretty easy route to the NBA and people are saying he needs to step up his game.

And this is wht he’s doing to lamelo now makin em earn everything
Facts
Its honestly Lavar studying everything Jordan did. Not a prediction but this is knowledge
Well said Michael Jordan
MJ G.O.A.T!!! When you get something so easily, your not gonna work as hard...
I like how Jordan has Barkley draped in Jordan gear 😂😂😂😭😭😭
He just described whole ball family perfectly! Lavars mouth had us thinking lonzos the next coming of magic and melos gonna be a star. Most BBB fans are paying for the potential and you have to wait like 5 years to see if it plays out.
Word from the man himself....................⛹🏿♂️
First of all they don’t have an endorsement they are their own brand built from the ground up 💯 and those boys father has them training literally everyday so they worked for where they are
Kingcrooks1 Training is not the same as playing an NBA Game.... Lavar wants Lonzo to get paid 22 Million dollar by the Lakers and he hasn't even play a single NBA game.... And then what Happen, He got Injured
Dude Lavar wants his kids to have a billion dollar deal before they play a nba game yet alone a college game. You have to be worth a billion dollars to have a billion dollars.
sportsfan6554 Finally someone who understand me.... Until Lonzo Better than Steph Curry like Lavar said.... He don't deserve 22 Million Dollar
MJ is right. Its in nearly every main sport now.
Give players the money! Corporation don't give if there ain't making much much more money. Its a business and NBA players generate billions.
That's y he's the GOAT
Kobe 2 drops of Water
They earned their Achievements All True
No, he spoke about rookie athletes getn endorsements before they were a pro star.. which has been happening for the past 2 decades almost
Mj is preaching !!
#MAGICJOHNSON THE GM
HUGE difference with the Ball family! They're doing everything themselves from the bottom! Yeah they make money for Interviews but thats not really sponsorship, thats business!
RocketVee Lavar wants Lozo to get paid 22 Million Dollar.... While Lonzo hasn't even played a single NBA game.... Thats why it make sense
Now that's the goat, children.
actually MJ talked about Lebron. at that time lebron got 90mil from nike fresh out Highschool..
Michaels the greatest
He's 💯% right
3 boys. 3 greats
I don’t see how you compared this part of the interview to BBB but I guess it will get you views
Righ WTF
Obviously when gelo ball stole sunglasses and messed up his chances of being in ty nba he was given every tug and didn’t have to work for it that’s the connection how can u not see he connection
Low-Key Nice you reaching with that comment lol. The interview was about players getting paid lots of money by endorsers and before they even prove that they are worth the money being paid. They are working hard to get their money by advertising themselves and their own brand so whatever money they make they deserve it from their hard work. (I’m not a BBB fan I’m just speaking the truth)
Jordan Earn Billion Dollar because what they have done.... Mean While Lavar Want Million Dollar from Lakers to Lonzo... Who hasn't even play a single NBA Game
yohanes eistein listen to the interview it’s very short they are talking about endorsements. They stated players are getting endorsements from corporate America without even proving they can play and besides that Lavar has nothing to do with the money Lonzo is getting paid. He’s on a rookie contract getting paid the amount a second overall draft player suppose to get paid which is about 6 plus million a year. Ben Simmons is getting pretty much the same about 6 plus over 3 years
I feel this was mainly towards the LeBron wave 2 years prior, but it reaches both I guess
Enough said! Mike is a beast for real! There will never be another Mike. Stop trying to be like Mike and create your own destiny to greatness and just say you wanna be as good not better; your stripping him of something you will never experience by saying you wanna be better than Michael Jordan. Praise I respect Michael Jordan and stop at the blasphemy.
paul denson that’s why LaVar made BBB and didn’t sign to Nike
Kobe the GOAT
Kong Tom / Hold up swolled up and give a real one 10 Feet with all that girly talk on the internet. I’m following the ball family and like what there doing 100%. All I’m saying is what I said. “Create your own legacy” and don’t compare yourself to someone who has already proven themselves in the NBA! Question, how many pair of Jordan’s have you owned and how many pairs of Z02’s you got?
See? He says stuff like this and it seems like it's aimed at LeBron, but he was totally cool she Kobe wanted to be just like him. Why?
I feel that is true when someone hands you million dollars every year for 5 years it is different from you putting in work those 5 years to show your worth more because you proved it 💯 #easy money its even easier to become comfortable in the moment
Wise words from the 🐐
Greatly said by the Greatest... MJ for pres...
Spoke it into existence!
Charles is wearing something Uncle Phil from Fresh Prince Bail Air wore on a episode.
He was talking about Bron!
Charles Barkley is blues clues the FUCK out in that jumpsuit 😂😂😂
That's in life period. If you get something easy what is the point of working hard for it.
Mike.. True Alpha.. Gotta be one to know one
Its true. These rookies get sponsorships before they play their first game. Nike always blowing up their phone lines.
Oh yeah the Goat is talking.
The greatest of all time.
This isn’t talking about the ball family it is talking about literally every single nba prospect
Jordan is a legend LeBron is the future true facts.
Michael is 100% right.
0:47 goat in action
Jordan is the man
Well he has to give us EXAMPLES bc I think if someone got million dollar contracts they would want to work hard to live up to it
yea it's a lot of players who don't work as hard everybody should be playing like LeBron and Steph and Dwight should of been scoring 32 and 30 subscribe to real one tho
He was talking about Lebron , who got a huge contract with Nike before he even played a single NBA game.
I disagree, when my job hires me at a certain salary before I step in the building I still have my personal work ethic to do my job and continue my personal improvement
Jac Jackson so u want to stay working at Burger King then graduate to McDonald's the rest of your fucking life
Jac Jackson read between the lines u jack ass
METTA WORLD PEACE YOUNIOR do you know me to be calling me out my name?
METTA WORLD PEACE YOUNIOR you sound stupid asf though. Even if your an executive somewhere you're guaranteed a certain salary. But when you work hard and exceed expectations, you're able to earn more and move up in the company
LetMeSeeThis99 regardless. Im the NBA you can have a shoe deal but no championship ring So there's still something you could be working hard to accomplish
This is ONE of the reasons why I think 80s basketball is better than basketball today. That and expansion. More players = Diluted talent pool.
I can’t argue with Jordan on this one. He is 100% right. If it’s given to you, you definitely won’t work like like Joel Embid prime example.
This is the realist shit I've ever heard from an Athlete
The market was not as competitive in the Jordan / Barkley era. Now, big sponsors are forced to speculate, making an investment in young players because if they don't, there competition will. If they don't make that investment it's a potential loss in millions of future revenue.
Ben Tiffe it’s competitive because of that era
Reach! If you would’ve said Anthony Bennet...Ding ding!
The comment section is really dumb y’all gotta be missing many brain cells to not get this.. he’s saying players like Bennett who were 1st picks or high picks like that have been given a lot of money and endorsements before stepping on the court fultz is another and basically Lonzo is one too they are getting way too much money for something they haven’t even proved MJ scores 30 ppg his rookie year in CONVERSES he deserved his own shoe and endorsements that he got Lonzo hasn’t played like the number 2 pick at all this year he’s not a top 5 rookie but he has his own shoe it makes no sense how his dad says he he earned it and only played in high school and college games and was great at that if that’s the case many people should have they’re own shoe... all leading to say if your getting the ultimate prize handed to you after you’ve done little work you won’t work so hard to get it bc it’s coming so easy
Gerald .Watson His family made his shoe. They have worked hard for what they have as a family and he deserves that. Nike didn't hand him a shoe or any other big company. And ball has been playing amazingly and is definitely playing like one of the best rookies. The Lakers are lost without him since he's hurt right now
HE MADE HIS OWN SHOE. not an endosement.
Nathan Casey ball is playing alright let’s not over exaggerate like he’s the best rookie he started looking like a bust just bc he’s coming around doesn’t mean shit bc he’s the 2nd pick and is clearly not playing like it there’s a number of rookies who were selected after him that are playing way better so with that being said there earning more than he has and if I may ask what has he earned?!?? A state championship in his last year of high school and he also didn’t win ncaa title ok and he’s supposed to be this million dollar talent alright he hasn’t earned it yet Jordan did tho is what he’s saying when he got to the league there’s a number of players who got endorsements and other things given to them before they entered the league and when it all came down to it the player wasn’t as good as expected so Jordan is speaking on potential Lonzo hasn’t shown he’s going to be worth a billion or a HOF one day Jordan did the moment he was rookie
El Tigre that has nothing to do with the fact that KAJ potentially could’ve been a bust coming out of college.. there’s a possibility that KAJ could’ve flopped after all that he did before he got to the nba but after proving how he could dominate in the nba like he did in hs and college he got what he earned your thinking about after all his accomplishments in the nba he was given what he earned which that part is fucked up but coming straight out of college is widely different
Javi G yeah it’s not an endorsement but do you see how Lonzo and lamelo treat basketball as just a game?? It is but to a certain extent it comes to I want to win and actually have the look to do it (agrssiveness) they don’t have that and giving them things they don’t deserve yet is putting a bad work ethic on them bc they got it so easy
100% Facts
When its all said and done, there could only be one MJ.
This is about someone like Lebron at the time
And That's Why Lebald James had to jump from super team to super team just to win his rings lol
Now I understand why they was testing Melos work ethic
Legend speaks facts
Lebron proved that wrong
DARNELL STOKES 1 person
DARNELL STOKES broth Mike talking in general LeBron is one not everybody is LeBron don't be ignore
Jordan in 100% correct why do you think all these old timers are still running sport. Mayweather, lebron, Brady, Federer to name a few. We are getting soft real quick.
DARNELL STOKES Le’Bron has been working on his craft since a kid, and was MR Ohio he put the work in
But Jordan was cut from his Team in high school, I think he has a point for the ones that didn’t have the easiest route but had to really put the work in to get to the Top.
Russell Wilson’s, Nick Foles, Cardell Jones
And these young kats are Lebron? Right.
MJ is right, is given to them not earned, even LeBron
wise words...
I'm all for players getting paid right away. Why do people always complain about what players make, but no one complains about the owners, TV companies, cable companies, advertisers, reporters etc who make billions off of these players?
This has very little to do with a basketball family or even hardly connected to the Ball family. Hes just saying how now we pay rookies off potential, which i can VERY vaguely connect it to the Ball family, if not, every rookie coming into the league lol
Micheal jordan had a shoe deal before his first game
Actually ball brothers like liangelo and lámelo are trying to prove their worth, they are balling overseas instead of following the status quo in college ball
The reason corporate America goes to these young kids before they do anything is because nobody wants to miss out on the “next” Michael Jordan or Lebron. It’s worth it for them to spend millions on busts for that one guy who will generate multi-billions. I’m sure Mr. Jordan knows this, even though he clearly does not like where the business has gone.
Coming from the man that draft Brown he didn’t deserve that pick what so ever
well those people who you are trying to impress.... the sponsors... well Mike they parents gave them everything.... and now they are your boss....soooooo.... how bout not worrying about whether these people are getting what they paid for.... and worry more about how we can get more money for the youth.... because you didn't stop working hard when you got your big pay day and neither will they
He is referring to Lebron bud
He was talking about LeBron... That was in '05. In 2018 we are still WITNESSING King James prove his predicted hype was real.
I think you can go as far to say that that not only goes for the Ball family, but athletes in general in this day and age. Many athletes and entertainers feel entitled.
This is wise
Whatever Nike had paid LeBron before his got into NBA , he was worth paying but not all other players is like LeBron.
This is more like he predicted Joe Alexander
Jordan is correct I feel players do not play as hard
what's up with the quality
Well what about lebron? He was the census number 1 pick coming from highschool, above proven college talent.
He's stayed hungry, and is still the best
Berkeley is in pyjama xD
this is facts but to divide this point: is the Ball boys and n Lavar worked to get there Facts. but since then we seen some up and downs to MJs Philosophy induced to the Ball Family and I must say this implies in anything possible crazy part of this philosophy it easily relates to a young buck name Johnny Manziel
Damn Oprah “Well straighten me out”
This isn’t the ball brothers cuz obviously they worked hard for everything
This has nothing to do with the Ball bros. The market is and always has been determined by supply and demand. Remember Lonzo turned down endorsements to persue his own brand.
Shit he could be talking about LeBron lol but this do fit the Ball Brothers perfectly tho
this for the whole Lebron era
He has a point. How many #1 picks got millions up front but were garbage?
The Reason so you think they should turn down money because they should .... So your logic is if someone offers you millions of dollars for something you were doing for free your whole life you shouldnt take it cause its the right thing to do 😂😂

Who said turn the money down? I said "He has a point."
The Reason well I didn't get his point so maybe you can explain it to me, in that scenario its the only thing the guy who works for Nike can say don't hold your breath if you think this guy has any morals
Oprah needs to watch her tone when talking to the GOAT.
You feel mee g
Lonzo could use a year in the G league and it would make him better
Michael just described most liberal Democrats
