Probably the best all-around RB in the NFL. I'd take him over Elliot and an in-his-prime AP.

i can follow lavar when he's talking about how everyone will exploit his children (Ncaa, ucla, nba, etc) when ultimately he worked hard to get them to this level too and why not create a family brand. i totally get that.

his crazy random mma/boxing like trash talking is where he loses me.

One of LaVar Ball's college teammates says Ball's claim he could've beaten Michael Jordan back in the day is a bunch of BS ... calling Ball's statement "laughable."
TMZ Sports spoke with Brian Quinnett, a forward on the 1987-88 Washington State team LaVar played on for one year ... and asked him if there's any truth to Ball's big-time assertion.
"It's laughable. The stats speak for themselves."
The stats Quinnett are referring to are LaVar's 2.2 ppg average from that year ... numbers NFL stud Le'Veon Bell used to call out Ball earlier today.
BTW -- the 6'8" Quinnett knows all about having to guard Michael Jordan ... telling us he did just that as a member of the Knicks back in the early '90s ... and it didn't work out well.
"He basically called for a clear out, took the ball and dunked on my head."
See, LaVar, it's harder than it looks ... and it looked pretty damn hard to be honest.

2.2 ppg

When he told Stephen A Smith that : "you ain't about this life" I nearly spit my water on this computer.

And then I realized that every group I grew up with had a LaVar Ball. Now I really like this guy.

I couldn't shoot. So that often made me "LaVar's" hype man. :lol:

I like that he is constantly taking credit for their success. The guy is a clown.

Is anyone watching Ben Simmons: One and Done on HBO? His entire family moved to Baton Rouge with him, including an adult brother and sister. This despite everyone acknowledging he would be out of there by March of his freshman year. Weird world we live in.

How bout stfu and let your kids be their own man, stop trying to glom on their success and make their life more difficult. I wouldn't draft his kid just to keep this jerk off away from my franchise, he's 10x worse than Reggie rose.

From a distance I find him amusing as hell. At a time winter has made a minor comeback I needed a guilty laugh. I feel bad for his younger 2 sons who haven't done anything yet and will have many rooting against them (one of whom has already been portrayed as something of a dick on the four letter network). But Lonzo has saved Alford's job for awhile, which doesn't help the cause.

max kellerman's face most of the interview made it for me. stephen a even threw out a "you gonna learn today". lavar ball is Trumping his way into the spotlight. its genius even though its completely insane. he doesn't even make sense about stuff half the time.
