"I don't push my boys, I lead them." Great father, like this man more every day.
he gets unfair criticism because he a loud mouth. but he is genuinely a great man and father, well said.
No cap
I'm the only man with three balls - Lavar Ball
that made me laugh out loud😂
Mo Dayib 😂😂😂😂😂
LOL
*5
That was the funniest thing I seen in 2019
This was nice! It actually seemed like he was getting a little emotional. More kids need to be raised in homes with supportive parents. Great dad!
Sally Streusel idek why people hate on Lavar he became a national joke to better his sons
Frank Ocean #GiveMeMYGrammy #RONDONUMBA9 yea but he didn't became a joke on purpose
Sally Streusel lavar is a genius. what are jordans kids doing??
MrClutch5150 Yeah, he did. He said he could beat Jordan 1-on-1, and he couldn't even keep a straight face while saying it. Almost everything Lavar does is a marketing tool to gain attention to BBB and his sons. That's what is genius about him
How bout all kids...
Lavar Ball officially made it he on GQ.....
Tijuan Barr Lol yeah I can't believe it
Yuh YuhYuh I'm sure this is not one of those times.
Tijuan Barr
t
Tijuan Barr He made it when he was on ESPN First Take. Lol
This is the nicest I've ever seen Lavar dressed up 😂
Eric Sedique PLOT TWIST: He got a Bidazzled BBB logo on his back..
good father
I really don't understand all the hate around him. He got a nice crib with an area for his boys to hoop in and got them all to stay motivated and have self-confidence in themselves. Now all 3 of them are playing for one of the best D1 ball teams in NCAA history.
BRBallin1 facts. never really been in trouble nothing.
Thundo Gaming trash talking is part of the game and should be viewed as banter.
People just hate on him, all that talking he does is for publicity, attention, and advertisement . And look it worked
Jojo Pack it worked. that's what most people doesn't understand, you don't have to like it, he is using and taking advantage of the system. personally i dislike him but his strategy is effectuve
Father of the year...😃😃 he train his boys to be best...I don't get why people be hatin on them..💯💯💯
D Dub... sometimes less is more. that's why i hate this arrogant type of person. believe me a lot players just wait to kick his sons ass...
Achim One I agree with that
D Dub he's a good father by pushing his kids and trying to prepare them for success. People find fault in the way he does it though. He tears down others and comes off as extremely arrogant and loud mouthed. He's a walking meme at times lol. If he was more laid back and well spoken like in this interview, he'd be perceived better. But I agree he's not a bad dad by any means
D Dub because he's like that one aunty you only see once a year, but then they only ever talk about what their kids are doing or how cool they are.
Gets old
D Dub People are jealous of things they don't have or can't understand. Powerful, confident figures are a rarity in a society where people are trained to conform. Powerful, confident father figures who can implant those qualities into their children are even rarer so it's natural for people to hate that they couldn't have the same.
I like this👌🏾👌🏾 a positive depiction of a pioneer
their dad is still extremely sexist though
TripDaDDy84 i think he/she is referring to the incident when he told the female reporter to stay in her lane. I didn't think that was sexist at all cuz she asked a question about the Ball families business which is his lane and he didn't want to discuss it. Media trying to paint another black man as a horrible person, FUCK THAT
mohamed abukar facts
mohamed abukar I like Lavar, but smh cmon. "Pioneer"???
Hi Baby He's willed his son into being a Laker, who's the first ever player to come into the NBA with his own brand and his own custom shoe. Damn right he's a pioneer.
lowkey gave me chills for some reason.the message...music... everything.
Dillon Burks yea dude I feel the same way
y'all know the song?
Man is a marketing genius I can't imagine how much is Brand has grown since the national attention and he holds that attention by saying out rages things that push people's buttons so they decide to have a discussion about it or better yet bring him in himself while he's wearing his brand on live tv... very smart man
the chosen one Except his target audience wants nothing to do with his brand because it's ugly and overpriced
the chosen one
You can hate on him for being too out spoken, but you can't hate on his love for those boys of his. That is truly great.
Kenneth Gilbert yea cause they his meal ticket or living his dreams through his kids cause he was ass
This guy just loves his kids what's all the hate about man
Lavar is the father every kid deserves honestly.
Amazing.
Cool
The most dominating basket ball players ever to be raised lol.
But still big up to laver because he's a baller pun intended he use this publicity to build his brand and push his sons and I can see loves them at the end of the day he is a good dad.
Nasty Nast hes a good dad no doubting that, but he took away shine from Lonzo last night at the draft.
Nasty Nast I think he was talking bout the Compton Magic..
BBB :)
They got the Ball and now they're going to see him Ball. Triple B's!
Lol lavar said "its like getting up and brushing your teeth".....meanwhile he got lemon heads in his mouth
THE G.O.A.T i was about to say that
Tobirama fool i am a big baller. #STAYINYOLANE
THE G.O.A.T WOAH MAN THAT'S WAYY TO INTENSE
THE G.O.A.T not a false tooth. If it was false it'd be white. It's from an injury. He had a root canal done to it to keep the real tooth in place. The staining comes from time (no blood supply). I know a lot about dentistry, I don't personally know him. Lol
naw pop corn kernel
Is it just me or did Lavar lose like a ton of weight ?
Aubrey right
Aubrey Wrong
No he just wears oversized shirts
"I told you so"
Can't argue with that, all of em in the NBA now 🤷🏻
i love this man's confidence bruh....we all need parents that believe in us like this.
Like if Lavar is the Goat
face it, hes gonna be a bust.
CamCush can I double like for Lonzo
Thanks big baller!
Lavar Ball shut up fraud *this tha real lavar right here get off the internet*
Fake Laver GET OFF
man this changed the way i looked at at them before wow
One of the main reasons why kids can be a blessing to a man. That bond can be inseparable/powerful
Here after his three sons are all in the NBA. I remember watching this video like it was yesterday, I’m glad Lavar is now rewarded
One more to go, looks like the hornets might take him on
love you lavar
I think for the first time lavar seems like someone I would like to have a conversation with 😂😂
People laughed at him back then. Now he laughed back at them
Probably one of the best interviews of Lavar i've seen he seems so genuine
LaVar lost weight for the draft look at him flexing I see you! 😂
Still cant stand this guy but this is the realist interview I have seen with him. If he acted like this all the time he could actually be alright. That dont bring the media around though.
Angelfish Luva lol you summarized it all. The media wouldn't care if he was just so mellow.
You can stand him, in fact you love him or you wouldnt follow him like you do.
U can see the love in his eyes for his boys I can relate
its really awesome listening to LaVar just being a nostalgic dad that truly enjoys his kids
1:08-1:40 Dad Ball nails his statement. Not pushing, but using the reality of life to teach, illustrate, and lead. Get some!
This why I fw Lavar. I was raised with the same family is all you mentality too
Did I just hear the phrase "brushing your teeth" come out of this man's mouth?
He probably meant "instead of brushing your teeth"
😹
Y'all wrong for that lmao 😂😂😂
Love LaVar. Down to earth and just having fun.
I mess with the Jazz music
This man should have won Father of the Year 10 years in a row now
At the end of the day he still a good dad
Father of the year.....The world needs more Fathers like Lavar...
Go lavar. Greatest dad. So supportive 👏
Love it, I love it! Mr. Ball speaks words of wisdom and drops positive real life knowledge to his sons.
Yooo what is this immaculate instrumental??
NickLamp1600 have you found the name of this instrumental yet??
Much prayers to you and your 👪 family sir. Excited about 2017 - 2018 🏀 season, you and your family has made it more interesting to look forward too. #cantwait
It's nice to see a video see someone being emotional not showing the bad side all the time.
Video had good vibes.... Then 2:26 🔆🔆🔆🔆
lmao GQ knew that line was golden. Perfect way to end the vid 😭😭
Lavar brushed his teeth omfggg!!!😱😱
This was shot and directed beautifully
Much respect to the Ball Family 👪 🙏.
Oh God they look like their father. Gotta give it to him he's a good dad. A real dad. Yep. Wish my parents took half an interest in me. It's cool.
I guess ive made it.🅱️🅱️🅱️
Lavar Ball no I did
Lavar Ball lonzo going to the nba gello going to ucla and melo juner highschool to much lonzo got draft by the lakers lonzo is my favorite person out of that draft
Shamar Brown and you can't spell for shit
Lavar Ball no I did
No I did
Love this. At the end of the day he's got his priorities straight. Low key under the hype seems real genuine
Good for him. He is actually very intelligent! And, props to him for trying to take on the big sports brands. We might look back and say he was the pioneer
if you read what he says it takes a whole different tone..when you actually hear him you realize this guy is proud of his boys and he's having the time of his life.he doesn't take himself seriously.but as long as people make it out to be more then it is,then yes.. lavar is a genius...I guarantee the Lakers 1st game will be a record breaker as far as viewership....and they blew wooly mammoth nutts last year
0:47 Lavar Air Balled😂😂😂😂💀
I Can't State an opinion on the Internet you're so stupid he wasn't even shooting at the basketball dumbass
Lavar is a real man...if you dont have pride and bounce, your not a man...but with wisdom spoken all over this video amd the family's closeness, its great! lets go Lakers, lets go Zo!!
Great dad...I'm a Father and I get inspired how lavar ball is a dad friend and motivater to his Sons
I don't know how you can hate on lavar😂
Melo like 6'4 now going on 6'5
Robert63ize Melo is 6"6 dude and still growing. he will be the tallest of the 3
lamelo is 6'2-6'3
steph ballislife na a he's 6'5" or 6'6" he's the same height as his father now
Alex Boubaker he's smaller than he's father liangelo and Lonzo lol and i play against him im 6'5 he was à bit smaller than me. he look taller because of his hair and he's skinny
steph ballislife o
Lavar is a good man...teaching his boys how to succeed on the court and in life.
This is amazing ❤️🙌🏽
i respect that he has faith in his sons, but he buggin😂
2:26 "its like getting up and brushing your teeth. Its just something that we do". -Lavar.
What is he talking about he got the yellowest teeth ever bruh
This video shows a different side of lavar that people need to see, really respect what this guys saying.
I like when he just talks like a dad. You can tell he was a tough, but extremely devoted father.
he aint brushing his teeth.
Lavar ball said " It's like brushing our teeth " boy your teeth are yellow
Look at Lavar man so inspirational
Loooooooove this guy. He's a good dad
If this dad wasn't there to guide them they wud have probley ended up in gangs doing drugs but they getting drafted by the lakers , Good job Lavar
Stay_Fr0sty lamelo, trash? The number 8 junior in the country and number 1 junior point guard in the country?
Stay_Fr0sty he's talking about before the drafts and stuff. Lavar been on them boys forever. They was raised in south central
Who here after lemelo ball interview
yessirr
I wish I had a father like that. He cared about his sons.
Yo Dad Ball loves his family. For real. Love his swag and realness. Check out how he smiles when he talks about his boys. Boom!
0:35 so you're just gonna leave Gelo out like that....smh
Lavar Ball i just peeped that
lavars biceps 😨😨😨
Ali Mirza he big lol
This man is the definition of a great dad
This is the most genuine and actually heartfelt lavar i have ever seen if i were to only have seen this and never seen that other stuff i would say there is nun to hate bout a great for the most part black father i say for the most part bc he so light skin idk if he mixed
2:29 lavar just lied so hard look at him smh
Lavar cant wait for Lonzo to make it so he can clean up those brown azz teeth
Ri B your dumbass know he's already well paid right 🤦🏽♂️
Ri B the house he lives in is at least 800k he's rich
Where he lives it's probably over a million
George B Most important thing about real estate is the location, not the house. 800k is minimum.
I think they live in Chino Hills.
I used to live in Los Angeles. For the house they live in? At least a million dollars. A very tight knit rich community around there.
Lavar should speak like this in all his interviews... a man just helping his boys reach their potential and not someone forcing them
Lavar a great father man, pushes his kids for greatness and does nothing but support his kids.
To be honest, Lavar's shot is prettier than lonzo's
he scoring less tho bitch
Lmao this's fool said 1 on 3
what's wrong with that
Lavar is a great dad......we all want our kids to win......
A father raising hes family up to b better nothing wrong with that... props
Bet you if lavar was white he wouldn't get this much hate
Shut tf up
Touk the Plug honestly imagine getting 3 kids as NBA prospects. It would be the talk of the town.
He's white and black tho lol. I don't think people hate him for '' his race".
he would get more
Touk the Plug Bet if he was white and made racist comments it would effect him alot more than it does
low-key hope they bomb in the NBA
ِ hater
haha, I can't stand their father but Lonzo can ball.
Pazkizzle No pun intended
black people don't wanna see other black people win, we've suffered too much to think that way.
Oh stop, plenty of other black succeed.
I love this man... keep on going brother
GReat People! Laval Ball is the man! congratulations for being a great father!
He can throw a ball in a basket. Give him millions for it. So stupid! Wish this was more so the case with people who save lives
working in healthcare, i used to think that too. But, im sure he'd excel in my position too, it would be a waste of talent i think. i think they are worth the inspiration they give to alot of kids, which can save lives
Agree with the short career rationale but then there should be some similarities in actively reviving patients and inspiration. Just my opinion. Same thing with movie stars and singers.
PunkJabi yeah but it's the media. who's gonna pay 100 dollars for a ticket to see people for example feeding hungry children or reviving somebody... nobody that's just how it is
PunkJabi It's supply and demand. There's really high demand for leisure activities and entertainment and very low supply of skilled labor relative to the high demand to be entertained. So, those with skilled labor make a lot of money. While for nurses, doctors, firefighters, etc., there isn't a shortage of skilled labor relative to demand and there isn't high demand relative to the supply of skilled labor so the pay is not nearly as high.
PunkJabi lol tell that to the Fans
but none are pro??????
well....
Brian Durcan they aren't old enough idiot hahahaha this is the worst comment ever
Clarence u got an extra chromosome or something? thats exactly my point how can someone build a dynasty when none of them are recognized at all?
Clarence dominated? more like trying to make p.o.s's famous
Brian Durcan nvm make it 1 day
Good message at the end
this interview had me gaining some respect towards lavar ball
great video GQ! now all I need is the name of the song in the background lol
Props to a great dad just trying to advocate for his kids... Best of luck to the Ball brothers.
2:34 thats all you really need to know about this man past all the TV spots and Media Angles
Just a family man, raising and loving his kids
God bless LaVar and his boys. Seems like a Dad that loves his sons.
Can't say that Lavar isn't a great dad. Hats off to this guy. He's raising young men. Salute.
That's true, real family must stay together when you up,,, but most importantly when we're crawling through the floor trying to make it in this tough life.....
He is a amazing father and the NBA should take a chance on having all 3 Ball brothers in the NBA on one team together! The Ball Brothers=dynasty!
man i miss this time, miss the feeling seeing these guys play for the first time and to get to know them
