Everybody can't be fake for the camera guys... Liangelo is just being his genuine self... He's just chill
It's more like he doesn't want to be interviewed or his simply not used to all of this or his just simply bad
Michael Colon I mean the dude interviewing him legit called him trash and the only one who wouldn’t make the nba
Justin Black they want a black man to dance for them
Austin Lay Yea and he's the only one
People talking about his personality but I went to chs w/bra, he’s genuinely like this on and off the court hella chill. He don’t have to put up a front to impress people about his ego. I guess you gotta be outgoing to be normal in this society lol
Bunch of haters man these kids are following their dreams. Can’t hate people for trying, good luck young blood.
Jstn 8156 facts!!
Jstn 8156 I don't hate the kids. I hate Lavar. He trying to live his dreams through them, at THEIR expense.
If you think this is the best move (especially for top 10 prospect lamelo) then you are lying to yourself.
Giraffe Juice 😂😂😂😂♿️🚾
Jstn 8156 you mean following daddy's dreams don't ya
I would pay to see Gelo, DRose, and Tim Duncan sitting at a dinner table.
zeekmorris Throw Kawhi in there too
😂😂
Throw in ingram
Lmao they boutta play a mean game of silent library
And Kusma
he sounds like he is a hostage
Ray Jepson 😂😂😂
Same as his brother Melo. His interview was like even more awkward
Dghvd hfhhb O
Ray Jepson Lmao he really does
Go look at his ig live videos he always sounds like that
anybody find this awkward af?
Hella Awk
like a terrible first date
Why does their virginity matter to you? Stay in yo lane
Cringe
Uganda Knuckles yeup. The interviewer is awful, and the ball brothers were probably warned by Lavar to make sure to not give them any sound bites.
Either that or they have the charisma of pair of wool socks.
He seems a little shy
CKtheDREAMchaser nah he's just dumb
CKtheDREAMchaser To me they both just seem introverted and afraid to open up to people
They all act that way on camera...watch ball in the family u can def see there personality
Goat being wellspoken doesn’t mean ur smart
Goat hahahaha
it’s not awkward reporter has no flow...looks like a real episode of “The Office” 😂
R8ASONS hate that stupid office show dry ass comedy
lol is it because it doesnt have those edgy laugh tracks that most shows have
W!lly Beats nope just plain dry weird comedy and I love comedy but I'm a hard critic
Examples?
Emmanuel Akingbemi Elaborate more please.
this guy is harder than chief keef to interview
Lmfaoooooooo
MartiansvsGoblins he seriously has nothing to talk about he is just playing basketball ESPN shouldn’t be interviewing him till he accomplishes something
Yo know that’s calculated right? It keeps them from saying something crazy, their dad and mom are doing a great job, no click bait just great deflection tactics
MartiansvsGoblins lmmfaoooooooo
He should have deflected them sunglasses in china though
Gelo- “Me zo and Melo all on the Lakers next year”
Jeff-“ I don’t think that’s possible”
Gelo- “we’ll see”
Wtf 😂😂
what time is that? lmao
let the boy dream 😂
GODOFALLGODS121 The NBA Players Association and Adam Silver are looking into rescinding the "1yr after graduating from high school" aka "1 and done" rule so players will be able to be drafted straight from high school again. This would allow Melo to play.
GODOFALLGODS121 🤣🤣🤣🤣
8:06 😂
Poor Jeff. Imagine the look on his face when ESPN told him he gotta go to Lithuania to cover the Ball family lol
he's trying so hard lol
it was either this or get laid-off like a lot of their talent
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
He making 💸💸💸😂
people like you are exactly the kind of people who spend their lives in the same town/country and never see anything beyond it or experience a different culture. Poor you for having such a limited outlook on life
Imagine having to talk to the same media that bashes you, your brothers, and your father everyday. They’re not awkward. They just don’t like ESPN or FS1. They ready to prove the media wrong. They are angry and out for blood.
The VibeyAssPodcast then why agree and do an interview ?
Josue Perez because you don’t turn down ESPN
Question: did that sexy reporter show up at your door last night? LiAngelo: no comment, I'm just here to play!
paul hogans lol
This has me dead 😂😂😂
U gonna be a star Boi don't mind these haters
Poorly constructed interview 👎
Why the fuck would they not edit these 3 vids
I love how direct and simple LiAngelo is, fricking awesome maaaaan
Oh boy, an 11 minute interview with gelo. I like the kid, but he sound a little slow sometimes 😓
crashlong apparently he had a 4.0
Ruben Montes well there are some kids who are book smart but can't articulate well. Especially in the spotlight, but idk
I’m tired of the 4.0 shit I NEED to see some transcripts because as time goes on its becomes less and less unbelievable with Melo and Gelo. 😑
bootysensei lol
whats 4.0??
This is super awkward
I think gelo has a future in the nba as a sharpshooter from 3. He’s just not the brightest or smartest player you’ll ever meet, hope the best for him as none of these kids should be hated
So I was waiting on the question on that female reporter
Question: Did she show up at your door? Answer: no comment, I'm just here to play lol
Yung Drizzy wait...what happened?
strawhats100 she asked gelo for his number lol
Right now is tough. All you can do is talk. Can’t wait for Tuesday so they can actually have something real to work with. That first practice wasn’t even that real. Just to get them out there. They probably haven’t even gotten through any real plays yet. I’m guessing tomorrow is the first serious day. Practice before the game on Tuesday.
I read that the game has been canceled. is that true?
Where is it going to be televised?
They left the BBL and now gonna play teams that are even worst in the BBB thing. Wait for their first games in LKL before you judge their play.
Bruh you wrong bet they been going in every practice trying to get acclimated to the team if they haven't been going hard they ain't trying to get better... this ain't 5th grade basketball
they won
The interviewer looks like he chews tobacco
ahahaha
Wish the best for this dude favorite player out of them three
Amazing vid!
3mins in I'm bored AF how is this 10mins long...
He’s so emotionless. I would hate to interview someone like him.
Lavar forgot to give his middle son a little PERSONALITY. Almost fell asleep watching this.
Gelo and lonzo need to let their hair grow back again
Jonathan Martinez nah hair looks good as is
Shut up
Who gives a fuck about some guys hair ? 😂
and lamelo needs to cut his hair
Gelo can score he might not be able to do much else but dude can put the ball in the hoop
Against high schoolers.....
Josh F-w yea because he is a high schooler don’t forget
gelo is good and can score he just lacks speed and quickness
Jude M 0.3% of varsity HS ballers make it to the NBA, if he was making plays on a national level like Jordan Brand Classic, McDonald's all American game, USA junior basketball program or HS national championship game then you could perhaps make a case that his strengths could carry over to the next level, but if he's a below average athlete at the NCAA level than unless he's got Steph Curry shooting he doesn't belong in the NBA especially not as a one and done
Josh F-w bro he averaged 30+ in hs
We all good. Big baller brand is global
The volume sounds weird if you have headphones
These kids were well coached 😂
LiAngelo Ball- the life of the party.
This reminds me of a 2k interview 😂
that’s how all the brothers prepare lol
The camerawork here is top notch, professional, and totally up to ESPN's standards
loving the enthusiasm!
Lmaooooo @8:39
AntCookin ok bro they can’t cut that shit out?😂😂
fr
Lmaoooo hilarious
Melo like "hurry this up"
bum ass reserve espn crew got sent to lithuania
These brothers are like the basketball version of the migos especially in interviews lol
So much energy and passion
His smile though ❤️
edit your videos properly ESPN
He seems so uncomfortable answering questions all the time
Chris Grant interviewer is hella weird. Every time gelo answered he looks at him like his answer is wrong or like he thinks gelo is stupid. I wouldn’t want to answer from this guy either.
I watched this interview at work on break and almost got fired bc i fell asleep and was extra late
Do you guys think Jeff hates his job right now??? 😂😂😂
BossMan Dee hell no. Jeff gettin that bag
Who gives a fuck what Jeff likes,y'all are the true fuck boys, critics 😶😂
bruh, you know nobody else on ESPN wanted to do these damn interviews lmao
Dave actually you’re all wrong he’s been covering them since all 3 were at chino hills
The interviewer has to be VladTv brother sound just like him..😂
Lavar Ball turned these kids into robots or something bruh. Every single one of them are weird are as hell lmao.
Kala keyword. Kids.
16-20 year olds (including Lonzo). They're weird as hell, and I'm not even expecting them to say anything crazy like their dad but speak at least lmao. They just remind me of Westbrook.
"So how is Lithuania so far?"
"Good execution...."
"Is it what you expected or are you a little thrown off?"
"We did a good job of executing...."
Not everyone can handle the media like other superstars
The show is a reality show. It’s completely staged. That’s not the “real” them. These interviews are the real Ball brothers. They’re awkward as fuck rich kids that can’t handle simple human interaction.
Kala You're publicly speaking to MILLIONS of people. You dont wanna say the wrong things idiot.
Millions of people judge u and ask u private questions all fuckin day shit annoying probably
More Ball, please!
Keep it up, ESPN.
He answers questions like a creative player😂😂
Camera and lighting needs to step up their game . 😔
He’s trying to bait that family smh , their doing something that’s never been done before! And the doing it well
I am a little surprised they didn't edit this video or any of the other interviews.Those moments of awkward silence are rough
best interview of 2018
My man on Riverdale
LiAngelo be acting awkward asf...
Jeff Goodman was great in this interview!
He looks like he hates this man ahahahaha.
Yoooooo 8:07 ...who idea was it to air this cringy ass awkward interview
It’s weird how people analyze the Ball family, they’re regular people chasing the dream, it’s disgusting when people attack them! BBB vs. the world
where did you put all the rest of the sunglasses
He balled out at his first game
If Melo is a pro ball player he's eligible for any pro league in the world its up to owners of the franchise to purchase the player and the players agent to negotiate the best contract posible on behalf of the player.and also the scouts the franchise send out to review the player's.
If I remember correctly Kobe was 17 when he came to the league. I may be wrong tho lol
That was in 1996.. The rules changed you have to be one year out of highschool and be atleast 18. He can't go to the NBA next year.
He is so uncomfortable, same with his brother. I guess they are kind of introverts or something, hard to explain this much level of uncomfortable
tom jens they definitely not introverts, like melo said in his interview they’re wild, you should watch ball in the family and see how they really are 😂
This is my first interview I saw of him, but others posted that he is this awkward in other interviews as well... So maybe they feel comfortable among themselves n ball in the family, but are super uncomfortable doing soli interviews, who knows.
Had to listen to his first.
It's crazy now cuz Gelo so outspoken n laughing in interviews
Sucks he got caught up in China. Was rly lookin forward to see how he was gonna do at UCLA
The most awkward interview ever!!!!
I like how right now as I clicked this his younger bro at almost 3x as many views and Lavar about 10x more.......im not exaggerating.
ESPN wassup with this damn camera man???
I feel uncomfortable watching this but I don’t know why lol.
This interview is cringy AF. Dude is a cyborg.
He’ll get better at the interview part of this career. A little media training & he’ll be well on his way. He basically went from high school to this so media wasn’t a big part of his day to day like Zo in college. Melo did pretty well considering his college. Gelo seem like he just afraid of saying anything he might get in trouble for. They’ll get better. Wish the best for em.
Did he just pull out his phone during an interview? lol
This is literally a watered down bootleg interview from an old episode of forensic files.
Most boring interview of all time!!!!!!!!
Excellent interview. #Basketball
“Shooting and running and stuff” lmaooooooooooo
This is so awkward. This body language suggests they are either a) not happy playing there b) bored af with the media pestering them c) both a) and b)
Anchit Bhagat that’s just him as a person, he has a very dull character
Maybe, but I saw the brother's interview as well and that was very similar
Anchit Bhagat b and d (d is shy)
Anchit Bhagat I think they're just as annoyed with the media coverage as we are.
Anchit Bhagat definitely both
LAVAR RUNS LITHUANIA
*The nba and Lithuania
Neva loss!!!!
lmao
6:10 so far it’s just been texting? Is that a rhetorical question? Because so far I’ve yet to hear a complete sentence.
8:49 PAUSE IT lmaooooo
Liangelo ain’t much of a people’s person is he? Lol so blank, blah, n non caring.
Damn...I bet Tina would be easier to interview than Gelo
Andrew Essman dead asf 🤣🤣🤣😂
Waittttt lol
wow ESPN, how do you come up with these questions... :D
the interviewer looks like a sick Tom Hanks. LMFAOOO
Has anyone ever looked more uncomfortable in interviews then Liangelo.
I'm sorry but Gelo and Melo have the worse interviewing skills of any athlete I've ever watched in my life. Its as if they've only talked to their family throughout their lives. Don't get me wrong, I'm hoping they do well but it seems that their father has talked for them for so long that they don't know what to say. I think both still need to further their education.
Sheemea Carr because they are asking weird and annoying question at a 16 years old kid ?
They’re millenialls. Kids these days are not used to talking. This interview would be fire if they have used iMessage :-)
They shoot hoops & count millions. Who cares
hahhahaha. no bitch.
so its awkward now to not have an opinion about everything? they just raised a different and refreshing way i guess :D fine with me ....
I'm waiting for " well you know I need to see you with a REAL agent and I'm the only one here" 😂
My head is fucked. When someone talks on the right side I hear it on the left and opposite. Shit I even checked if I put the headphones right lol
Not media trained.
It's liking talking to a brick wall
Lmao this was a tough interview for sure LOOL.
LiAngelo is on his way, he just has to be more aggressive in the game and work harder if he wants to be in the NBA next year.
Gelo will make it in the street rap game before he ever makes it to the NBA😂😂
Chicken Legs Productions 😂
No questions about him being a thief?!? Wow
Gregg Steinbucks whatever he's a scumbag
Sculpin u talking shit about a 19 year old
BJ FAMILY 18 is an adult. He's an adult... He's a piece of shit thief plus he's overrated and I'd say it to his face too.
Sculpin go watch him on the breakfast club... they covered it on that
9:42, How can you ask a kid a question like that? The interviewer asked that question as if Lavar is some random guy. Thats their father, and thats disrespectful to ask
Gotta respect the hustle. Ball boys just want to ball. Period.
Irrelevant
Sir Stretch yo mamma
This guy owes his little brother more than words can describe. He totally fucked up the blueprint, and lets be honest. He was only at UCLA because of his brothers. Otherwise he's at Long Beach state or something lower.
travel boy you idiots act like he wasn't one of the leading scorers in the nation. He was the Keating scorer on Chino hills and now you act like he can't play at all.
Jerry Graves He wasn't even a top 200 recruit. How many guys outside of the top 200 are one and done players that get drafted? You know the answer. Don't discredit LBS. Gelo can ball, but not minutes at UCLA. The Missouri Valley Conference would have been good for him. Sure, come to UCLA and enjoy the perks... UCLA gets Zo and Melo, but they don't have time for the far less talented brother and the BS he pulled. Just don't be a tard and you can attend UCLA (because we want your brothers). He's not good enough.
Stfu u bum ass nigga u just mad u not in his place . Stop hatin.
He was ranked 15th in his class. He was definitely going to UCLA being a 5 star recruit.
Fredderick MD this is about Gelo, not Melo. Gelo who you see in this video was ranked 226th overall in the nation, 50th best in the nation at his position, and 21st overall in just California. He was at best a 3 star recruit.
So, I'll give the excuse that you ment Melo, but this video isn't featuring Melo. This is all about Gelo.
He said it's not cold like that! Single digits and negative numbers is cold my dude
why they set the interview like this? the interviewer is on his right side the camera is on the left its awkward af to be looking staright ahead with nothing there or on the right you got someone asking you question and asking the film crew is there any question he forgot. wtf
