this interview was crazy good, hopefully everyone who's bashin' on Lavar sees this. the Ball brothers simply love the game of basketball and will do anything and everything they can to be remembered for what they were best at in this life. everyone needs to quit worrying about Lavar, he's all talk and he admitted it. he's not on the court; he's just being a parent. if you haven't heard of the Ball brothers, you will now because of their dad. stoked to see how the rest of this championship turns out for Lonzo.
@Aaron Smith, my sentiments exactly. Most of the "whino's" don't even have fathers in their lives, let alone someone that encourages them both in private and public to be great.
i don't understand how anyone can say they hate this man for pushing his sons to be great I mean take feelings out black men don't have this in they house hold but we crucifying lavar for being a great black father tf outta here if your reading this LAVAR good job raising three black men in a racist opinionated america
B.I.G.Mikey Rozay it's not that. It's the fact that he said he was better than curry.. he shouldn't have even said anything bc ow everyone will come at him now
sam sneed you hit it right on the nail. it's because everyone wants to be confidant. But there insecurities stop them. and seeing a stand up confident man like him makes people uncomfortable.
@5:20 that's real if you have a passion for something and get money for it you won at life. That is so real because a lot of times we end up doing things we don't want to to get money. I love this man passion and reality and perspective on life. It's good to see a father in the news and being talked about and he back it up with intelligence instead of ignorance and back up his comments and comes correct.
jay hall yeah, that bit hit me hard. passion: go to sleep thinkin about it, wake up thinkin about it. if you get to do what you love and happen to get paid for it, you've won in life.
Kendall was nice too but Lonzo got that super nice NBA athletic ability and Melo just much quicker than Kendall was. Kendall was great as a kid and a teen till others caught up and he was still good enough to go to UNC and play well.
He is speaking facts and he is creating wealth for his family brothers sisters cousins etc..... He doing what the Jews, African, Indians, Asian etc.... I can only respect facts
Man, I love this dude. I lost my own dad last year and all I see from this man is PURE DEVOTION and LOVE for his boys. It is beautiful to the that this day in age.
Brandon Noah he's cool af but as a laker fan I'm spilt I want Lonzo but what if the lakers lose with Russell missing the game winner, is he gonna blast luke walton for not giving lonzo the ball and cause a bunch of drama?? I kinda think he would and it scares me.
That's a Proud Daddy right there. The man fiercely protects, develops and encourages his sons. He's a bit boisterous but hey... he's all heart. Can't knock him for that.
Only two stupid things LaVar has said is that he's better than Jordan and his son is better than Curry rn. Other than that this guy is sounding pretty competent
May not agree with Mr. Ball on other topics, but regarding his philosophy on increasing skill level I happen to agree. I used to play my father growing up and he was 6'3 230. Obviously didn't go all out till my teenage years. But he pushed me hard and used his skill and size in order to increase my skill level in as many facets of the game as possible. Really appreciate what he did. He made me a smarter player and a better player all around.
doesnt anybody know that this man is the greatest advertising machine in the tripple b camp good publicity is good but bad publicity is cheaper he is the greatest marketing machine in the business. in the words of the late eazy e i got amillion dollars worth of publicity for free!
people and the media don't know about how this steph and lonzo comparison started. when lavar was interviewed by tmz, the tmz reporter asked lavar "do you think ur son will be AS good as STEPH?" what a stupid question, any father will definitetly say yes. which father would say, "umm i dont know, i hope he will be decent, maybe as good as dion waiters or something.
He says some outrageous stuff but you can't deny his heart I in the right place. He just wants his sons to be great and he has a lot of confidence in them. Need more parents like that
I'm from East LA and that's real talk having an X on your back playing a sport is laughable considering the Xs most of us have dodged thus far in life.
I like TRASH TALKERS, because love them or hate them they still always manage to bring a Level of Interest & even Entertainment to any sport they are involved with . , whether negative or positive they make you wanna watch them
Be honest... Lavar Ball ain't too shabby... he got his business mind in the right place.. debate all you want... say he loud mouth, he need to shut up, he branding his boys and he will get paid.. Wish more Afrikan descendants thought this way... Just wish he had A Afrikan/Black Woman but Oh Well... I'll Take His Mind Frame any day...
He is much smarter than people give him credit for, MUCH of what he said is true and has come to fruition today. I'm not sure what Lonzo will end up doing in the NBA in his career but he has a great upside & time will tell.
This is exactly how I would talk about my son and I do. He a baseball player, a great one. And he will be able to tell Mike Trout that 💪🏾. Alex Rod and Barry Bonds will know my boy
10 million people cannot all play in the NBA. If all whites thought this way, poverty central would also be in the rear view mirror. There are more white people in poverty in America than black people. It has nothing to do with their mentality. Notice Lavar had really bad grades, he didn't get a good education growing up. Its nothing short of a miracle that he like other successful black people ended up being successful. The truth is that most human beings do not respond aggressively towards extreme difficulties in life. Person A is born, white, black, latino, Asian, indian, whatever.... it doesn't matter their race. If that baby has a mother that is on drugs, a father in jail, and family members all either in jail, on drugs, or working too long to be present, and the school they go to is filled with same kids with teaches that don't get paid enough to take their job seriously and police officers checking their pockets when they come into the building and the same clothes every day with holes in their pants and when they turn on the TV the only thing they see is black people being laughed at, shot to death, criticized, mocked, or showing off their cars, or entertaining people..... the likelihood that that boy is going to look at that and say "I'm going to break the mold and be successful" is nearly zero. Because they don't have any first hand concept of successful. All they see is that the people they grow up with either end up in jail, dead, on drugs, or working 24/7 pay check to pay check. Now take person B, they are born. Their father is a Mechanical Engineer and owns a couple million dollars of real estate and invests heavily in securities. The mother is a Licensed Clinical Therapist, a Writer, and a Part time psychology professor. All of their family have graduate degrees and are reasonably successful in their careers. All of their cousins get into private and ivy league universities, state schools are the worse case scenario. They attend a private school where they wear uniforms and recite Shakespeare at the age of 10, and are doing internships their senior year. Now what is the likelihood that person B will have forward thinking mentality. Probably 90+% They've seen success all around them their whole lives. They live with smart and driven adults who they learn from subconsciously before they could even talk. Chances are they even want to be better then their parents. They have every opportunity to become super successful, and they know that if they fail they have a solid financial and social support system to fall back on, which gives them the ability to be more aggressive in their approach to life. Now of course there are exceptions for both of these cases. But the exceptions are not the rule and we shouldn't look at the exceptions as a means of demonizing the majority. That's horrible. Its like saying because some slaves escaped from slavery, the rest were lazy and didn't have any sense of self worth. That's nonesense
Torres9 Nothing Lol there's more then one country in Africa. Don't always believe what you see on 📺 There are some very developed countries and some that are 3rd world. Just like in Europe, you got your wartorn countries etc.
my father was like LaVar is a way, however I wasn't as big, or talented, I was athelticly gifted, very... but it never ended up like I thought. everyone should want a father with a little something of this in them.
When Lavar said he'd beat Jordan I thought he was a total fool....until I realized why he said it. The man is a genius. Marketing expert. The man's on another level
Lavar ball is a great father and overall a good guy very entertaining I like him a lot all 3 sons will be great i see gelo in the NFL n melo n the NBA one day and lonzo is already my favorite player very quiet n lets his gm do the talking
i disagree with his take on "run and gun" basketball. As a basketball team you need to know how to play in the half court. In crunch time sometimes you need to get a layup. If you don't get enough game time practice at half court offense that's when you see teams jacking up threes as the shot clock runs down.
chris was trying to get him to speak about Christianity, Chris' religion because he asked question the answer of which he already knew, "you said something about speaking things into existence. what does that mean?" that's a very popular Christian saying I'm positive Broussard has heard ages ago in his own Christian experience. just a hunch

FOX Sports this makes no sense if that was the case Gianni's would be the best point guard because of his height
@Aaron Smith, my sentiments exactly. Most of the "whino's" don't even have fathers in their lives, let alone someone that encourages them both in private and public to be great.
Dudes a great interviewer! Thanks for letting us understand what goes on in lavars head and letting him speak, great topics and questions too!
They had him in the wrong role. He wasn't a good insider but he's a likeable dude in the business.
ESPN was just cramming programming just like they do now. Now Chris has more air time, he can just be himself
you have to admit, the dude may say alot of outrageous things but he is likable lol
yeah i hated this guy so much, but man if you want your sons to the very best you gota do what you gota do
Chris Webber4 lol for what reason did you hate him so much
Chris Webber4 how do you hate someone for having opinions that are in no way harmful or demeaning toward anyone?
this guy is a good father.
its just his personality.. he's just a really upbeat guy.
Im a white man from Brooklyn, New York & I like this guy. I mean honestly, how can someone not? This man is so likable.
I have a lot of respect for Lavar after watching his interviews
i don't understand how anyone can say they hate this man for pushing his sons to be great I mean take feelings out black men don't have this in they house hold but we crucifying lavar for being a great black father tf outta here if your reading this LAVAR good job raising three black men in a racist opinionated america
B.I.G.Mikey Rozay it's not that. It's the fact that he said he was better than curry.. he shouldn't have even said anything bc ow everyone will come at him now
B.I.G.Mikey Rozay amen they man he got a dad Caleb swanigan is from my town n was adopted n they love his story SMH
B.I.G.Mikey Rozay thank u .. This guy is motivation to me ... It seems like Americans hate confidence, but love insecurities..
Extremely Underrated 1 people only mad because we have this love fest for curry but nobody would be tripping if he said Jordan or Magic
sam sneed you hit it right on the nail. it's because everyone wants to be confidant. But there insecurities stop them. and seeing a stand up confident man like him makes people uncomfortable.
Chris is the best NBA analyst! Period!
LaVar is such a likable dude. I'll cheer for your sons man. Good luck!
Keep It Simple: Many of us would appreciate a father who has encouraged and trained us since birth
wish my paps was like this straight up
LAVAR IS AN OG
@5:20 that's real if you have a passion for something and get money for it you won at life. That is so real because a lot of times we end up doing things we don't want to to get money.

LaVar is the man.
Mad respect for this pops. Poppa Ball. 🏀
the disrespect to kendall marshall lol
Kendall was nice too but Lonzo got that super nice NBA athletic ability and Melo just much quicker than Kendall was. Kendall was great as a kid and a teen till others caught up and he was still good enough to go to UNC and play well.
absolutely no reason to hate this man... he's publicly laying out a blue print, and not charging a dime for the schematics ;-)
I have to become a dad like this
I respect Lavar Ball...he loves his boys man.
much respect to the ball family BBB
He is genius . He is greater
He is speaking facts and he is creating wealth for his family brothers sisters cousins etc..... He doing what the Jews, African, Indians, Asian etc.... I can only respect facts
This Man is Great
Man, I love this dude. I lost my own dad last year and all I see from this man is PURE DEVOTION and LOVE for his boys. It is beautiful to the that this day in age.
I could hear this guy talk all day, positive energy bring positive results
Supreme confidence.
I just want to comment because years from now this will be a legendary watched interview. Love this man as a father!
I have zero problems with this man. Great interview.
Idk why everybody hate on him I fw him
Brandon Noah he's cool af but as a laker fan I'm spilt I want Lonzo but what if the lakers lose with Russell missing the game winner, is he gonna blast luke walton for not giving lonzo the ball and cause a bunch of drama?? I kinda think he would and it scares me.
Lavar is a good dad, I like him
Anil Rai, his son is a thief. Enough said. Oh yeah his sons cant play ball either.
The more I listen to him talk the more I like him
That's a Proud Daddy right there. The man fiercely protects, develops and encourages his sons. He's a bit boisterous but hey... he's all heart. Can't knock him for that.
great interview, very interesting
Only two stupid things LaVar has said is that he's better than Jordan and his son is better than Curry rn. Other than that this guy is sounding pretty competent
Juice The Kid those are the biggest 2 things he said hahaha, and then the billion dollar deal which isn't as stupid as everyone thinks
Juice The Kid and if you take those two statements as him creating a buzz and he starts looking like a diabolical marketing genius and great father
I like this MAN
I like this men .. He dont play games !!!
Why do they hate this man? He is just being a proud father to his sons
We need a in the zone part 2
I love how he described the x on his kid back... real og answer
May not agree with Mr. Ball on other topics, but regarding his philosophy on increasing skill level I happen to agree. I used to play my father growing up and he was 6'3 230. Obviously didn't go all out till my teenage years. But he pushed me hard and used his skill and size in order to increase my skill level in as many facets of the game as possible. Really appreciate what he did. He made me a smarter player and a better player all around.
this guy is entertaining
LaVar grew on me amd he has a charm despite his controversially bold statements
doesnt anybody know that this man is the greatest advertising machine in the tripple b camp good publicity is good but bad publicity is cheaper he is the greatest marketing machine in the business. in the words of the late eazy e i got amillion dollars worth of publicity for free!
This dude is conor mcgregor as a dad.
Yea except his kids have to back up his statements.
Nico Emilio not really connor is arrogant Lavar is confident there's similarities but differences
MMA DYNASTY true
Respect this man.
people and the media don't know about how this steph and lonzo comparison started. when lavar was interviewed by tmz, the tmz reporter asked lavar "do you think ur son will be AS good as STEPH?" what a stupid question, any father will definitetly say yes. which father would say, "umm i dont know, i hope he will be decent, maybe as good as dion waiters or something.
hes brilliant
I can't believe I watched that whole interview, lavar needs a show
😂sounds ridiculous but so true. "How can you scout us when we don't run plays"
Lavar might be the best thing since slice bread for these up and coming young athlete. He's a new vision, a new model and a great inspiration.
Great respect for this guy. May say some wild things but he's an amazing father
Best Interview So Far
He says some outrageous stuff but you can't deny his heart I in the right place. He just wants his sons to be great and he has a lot of confidence in them. Need more parents like that
He has a lot of positive energy
we need more fathers like him in the black community
I like lavarr a lot,my only concern is that all these media outlets are tryna manipulate him into making seemingly 'outrageous' statements.
If something happen to Lavar the NBA did it lol
I LOVE THIS GUY
I'm from East LA and that's real talk having an X on your back playing a sport is laughable considering the Xs most of us have dodged thus far in life.
Great interview spoke nothing but real stuff. I got mad respect for his family.
My 1st watching the interview 2022 does he seem crazy now… That his kids are n the NBA n one of them is Rookie of the yr.. SALUTE 3xB
Lavar even changes the pronunciation of theater. What a legend.
i shouldn't of judged this man he kinda cool just the way he was interviewed and explained i got more insight on what he was about
I love this guy
I like TRASH TALKERS, because love them or hate them they still always manage to bring a Level of Interest & even Entertainment to any sport they are involved with . , whether negative or positive they make you wanna watch them
I love this man, he's a good soul and an amazing father. I have a lot of respect for him
I wish this guy was my dad
Jaylen hands is the replacement he's pretty good
Lmfaoo he funny asf brah
Crazy, but likeable
Be honest... Lavar Ball ain't too shabby... he got his business mind in the right place.. debate all you want... say he loud mouth, he need to shut up, he branding his boys and he will get paid.. Wish more Afrikan descendants thought this way... Just wish he had A Afrikan/Black Woman but Oh Well... I'll Take His Mind Frame any day...
Knew Lavar was different when I saw that christmas video a while ago lol.
He is much smarter than people give him credit for, MUCH of what he said is true and has come to fruition today. I'm not sure what Lonzo will end up doing in the NBA in his career but he has a great upside & time will tell.
Chris keep up the good work with the podcast.
This is exactly how I would talk about my son and I do. He a baseball player, a great one. And he will be able to tell Mike Trout that 💪🏾. Alex Rod and Barry Bonds will know my boy
Lavar is going to be known as the best marketing genius ever. lol
What's there not to like about this guy? I understand him. Even the comment about Lebron and his sons. I get what he was saying.
Great talking points
If more nonwhites thought and talked like this man ... Poverty Central would be in the rear-view mirror of most communities.
Van Iyke It's always the conservatives who bring race into things
its always the liberals where have you have been the last couple years, if a guy gets shot, automatic racism.
10 million people cannot all play in the NBA. If all whites thought this way, poverty central would also be in the rear view mirror. There are more white people in poverty in America than black people. It has nothing to do with their mentality. Notice Lavar had really bad grades, he didn't get a good education growing up. Its nothing short of a miracle that he like other successful black people ended up being successful.

Because they don't have any first hand concept of successful. All they see is that the people they grow up with either end up in jail, dead, on drugs, or working 24/7 pay check to pay check.
Now take person B, they are born. Their father is a Mechanical Engineer and owns a couple million dollars of real estate and invests heavily in securities. The mother is a Licensed Clinical Therapist, a Writer, and a Part time psychology professor. All of their family have graduate degrees and are reasonably successful in their careers. All of their cousins get into private and ivy league universities, state schools are the worse case scenario. They attend a private school where they wear uniforms and recite Shakespeare at the age of 10, and are doing internships their senior year. Now what is the likelihood that person B will have forward thinking mentality. Probably 90+% They've seen success all around them their whole lives. They live with smart and driven adults who they learn from subconsciously before they could even talk. Chances are they even want to be better then their parents. They have every opportunity to become super successful, and they know that if they fail they have a solid financial and social support system to fall back on, which gives them the ability to be more aggressive in their approach to life.
Now of course there are exceptions for both of these cases. But the exceptions are not the rule and we shouldn't look at the exceptions as a means of demonizing the majority. That's horrible. Its like saying because some slaves escaped from slavery, the rest were lazy and didn't have any sense of self worth. That's nonesense
Torres9 Nothing Another conservative spotted.
Torres9 Nothing Lol there's more then one country in Africa. Don't always believe what you see on 📺 There are some very developed countries and some that are 3rd world. Just like in Europe, you got your wartorn countries etc.
Dammm I gots to do even better as a Dad!! lol
Lavar is close to the LS throne !!
my father was like LaVar is a way, however I wasn't as big, or talented, I was athelticly gifted, very... but it never ended up like I thought. everyone should want a father with a little something of this in them.
When Lavar said he'd beat Jordan I thought he was a total fool....until I realized why he said it. The man is a genius. Marketing expert. The man's on another level
"preconcerved notion" 😂
Alex Yuen 💀💀💀
Lavar ball is a great father and overall a good guy very entertaining I like him a lot all 3 sons will be great i see gelo in the NFL n melo n the NBA one day and lonzo is already my favorite player very quiet n lets his gm do the talking

Chris the GOAT
I hope the best for Lonzo. It's going to be a long road, but it's worth it.
Great Dad!
real talk i love lavar ball...pause
And then, "BAM", his knee goes out. Lol!!!!!!
Lonzo is going to have to carry his brand solo. He the only person in that family that can live up to hype his dad is creating prematurely.
I salute the brother.
lavar ball is a monster at dominoes.
LAVAR BALL AND THE GAME SOUND THE SAME 🤔🤔🤔🤔
i agree with him on this...but the guy is crazy lol
Only thing I didn't like was him keeping Melo from USA bc they didn't choose lonzo,
who cares, theyre his sons not yours. not like he prevented u or any of yours from doing anything
Wonder what BBB shoes gonna look like 😂😂
Ben Simmons is gonna run point for us and he's 7 foot lol
and here is the thing... lavars favorite words
"My boy didn't lose the tournament, UCLA lost the tournament."
