Say what you want about him over hyping his sons but that dude loves his family and wife. I respect him
No, they would rather see LaVar be running the streets, hosing everything in sight and having a nose problem (coke), then he would be fitting their narrative on black men!
Richard Hill 💀
But he does go overboad sometimes and its not all about supporting his sons its about money and promotion too thats why he wont let nun of then leave big ball brand becuz he own a percentage of the brand too.
After seeing julian newman dad i would say lavar is a pretty good dad lol
Jeremiah Luster 🅱️🅱️🅱️
Lavar "On the Fact That" Ball
Khoa Ngo 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
His grammar LMAO
Shirts coming soon
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😭 is anybody gonna count how many times he said that
Interviewer got the interview of a lifetime and spent the whole time challenging lavar. Crazy
Nick S nah, he’s calling Lavar on his BS
The interviewer came into this interview with the intent of getting Lavar to give him a viral moment. Jabbing at him then sitting back and waiting for a blow up response. Treating Lavar like he's a hot head without a filter. He missed a great opportunity to look like a serious interviewer and have a thorough conversation. Instead he came off like a his sole intent was to provoke Lavar into anger.
yeah Australian presenters always have narratives that they are trying to force-feed from bosses who wanna make people like LaVar look bad
Is really nice to see how he defends his sons even if they got bad stats he will find a way to defend them
He’s not wrong tho never seen lonzo play 40 mins I think you gotta give them the keys if your team is that bad
@@DarthoRigogus he played 40 tonight and had 27 9 8
marbar7988 just watched pretty proud of that he’s gotta keep it up and do it when the best players are out there
@@DarthoRigogus lonzo is a good guy , a bust but a very cool guy
@@alejandro2603 how is he a bust??
Don’t agree with everything lavar says but the interviewer is a hater.
He's not a hater. He's just not a Ball licker and wanted to keep it real. Lavar knew that, which is why he interrupted the guy before every question was finished.
He’s telling lavar how it is u dumbass
He’s not a hater it made for a good interview. Would you rather listen tia Rachel Nichols interview where she just kisses the ass if the athlete the whole time? And at least he had him in his platform and gave him the publicity so lavar wins regardless.
Best Or Worst why do you assume it’s race? Your the type of person that does more harm than good with that thinking.
Me neither. I think Lavar is full of himself sometimes. But, other times he's actually correct. Regardless, he's wildly entertaining and interesting to listen to whether you agree with him or not.
who's here after
lonzo played 40min and he drops 27 points
Me.
Lavar right again.
👋🏾!!!
Luka plays 26 min and....😂😂😂
Triple dub if only it was a few days sooner
Lavar speaking his truth. I like how he's not giving the "what everyone wanna hear answers". He keep it true to himself. What 99% of entertainers dont do.
Remy Martn exactly
@@JosephBenchosen and lavar words has been factual for a while, i dont why people dont take him serious, he predicted Bron to lakers and a whole lot of other things.
I'm w/ LaVar.
This interviewer is a straight up clown. They literally got a dude who hates Lavar to interview him.
Shout out to lavar. It’s a whole lot of boys who would love to have a father like him in their lives.
Mike Love Thyself emphasis on LOVE lml. I'm fatherless :/
Karissa stay strong, I know the feeling too
Lml I'm not a boy, but anyone would LOVE a dad like him.
I felt this
Spoke it into existence!!! Lonzo had a 27pts 10 rebounds 8assists game with 40 minute game time
“He thought his name was Alan Ball.” 😭😂
Where you think lavar ball learn his scamming skills. Scamming nba executives into drafting his sons and scamming people buying his shoes.
Tak Sze scamming nba execs into drafting his sons? Wtf are you even talking about? Lonzo’s the only one who’s been drafted and its definitely because of his phenomenal year at UCLA
I Want Money123 people just say anything because of open opinion we gotta ignore it
Tak Sze Another Alan Foster’s burner account.
@@taks6738 please scam me to draft Lamelo🤣🤣🤣please pretty please🤷♂️
He belived in them and they made it so you gotta give him props.
The words "they made it" is a long stretch. Lonzo is the only one so far and he is a starting backup
@@mauricelamar9394 he is starting right now and lamelo will be top 3 pick in 2020. Idk about gelo
SyPhOn 123 gelo just signed with the Thunders G League Team
Cody Hall damn gelo still irrelevant rooting for him tho
@@MyEyesWideOpenTV He literally just started g league yesterday. it's all coming up.
Lavar Ball is such a positive man. BBB never lose because Lavar focuses on positive things every time. Big respect to this man!!!!
He's not positive his kids are trying to get away from him ..Lavar Zoe is never gonna be in the NBA he's not even close
mad dog huh? He has two pro basketball playing sons
The BBB is B...b...busted. broke. bankrupt
Huh. What r u saying really? Your hating on Lavar seems to be driving u crazy mad dog?
@@tayshaundtv5357 Should I go slower so you can keep up? The BBB site been down for months. Lonzo wants nothing to do with the BBB and LaMelo made his own choice to play in the NBL so you tell me.. how 'positive' is LaVar's impact on his kids careers?
Dudes a GOAT. Hes worked out the "business" side of the game. giving his sons the best opportunity to playing top grade basketball while holding down his family.
Franco Cavalli you sound dumb.
Franco Cavalli There ya go....keep hating on the man🤦🏼♂️
Lonzo Just Drop 27pts 10rebs 8ast and played 40 minutes 🤔 Lavar “ Neva Lost” Ball right again
Exactly
Thank you 🙏🏿 for this comment
🔥🔥🔥
This comment is idiotic
It was one game
Melo coming to Australia with Rj to New Zealand didnt just gain fans they gained 2 countries AUS and NZ. Cheering for both of these kids.
I can’t wait till Gelo get his chance to shine overseas an show the world he’s not a Scrub
Jaiquan Rivera omm
Gelo is trash.... It's a wrap for him.... There is always barber college
@@p_drizzytv SEE LONZOWIRE as there is an article stating that Gelo has joined the Thunder's G league affiliate-The Oklahoma City Blue, as a practice player. He won't be on the team but will have access to the facilities, so if he is the SHOOTER (think JJ Redick) that LaVar claims he is, he should be able to advance forward, first to the G league and then to the nba. Time will tell.
Richard Hill yeah I wanna see him hoop!
Richard Hill I think he is the least favorite ball brother to everyone and I think he doesn’t have the work ethic his brothers have but idk
Lavar speakin some facts tho in this interview.
Franco Cavalli what type of response is that smfh
Franco Cavalli
The hate is real....
You must be white.
Different name, same song... as always.
He always does its just filled w some bs and some people don’t understand where he comin from
100%
Glad to hear Mark Jackson given the credit for cultivating Step, Klay, and Draymond. Mark Jackson has been white-balled (as a coach) from the NBA.
The fact is that on the fact the fact actually is actually factual
Facts 🗣
And that’s a fact
Big facts
Facts on fak on fax on Faux on fox on fakts and thats a fact jack.
Larger facts my guy
the dude interviewing doesn’t have a big enough personality for LaVar. It should of been Shannon Sharpe 😂
This interview is Australian Fox i don't think he'll get anymore interviews at espn for the molly kerim incident. FS1 might interview him tho but most hate him there too
*should've (should have)
skatelife2013 don’t care (Do not care)
A M yea he’s definitely an outlaw lol
I sponsored BBB's first AAU tournament.
TK Kirkland lol no u didn’t
He did.
Straight up 💯💯💯💯
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lmao this nigga!
following MELO for years, he is a PRO now!
Same
Fr
Nah. He needs more time..
CPGoat #3 needs more time and he’s projected to go #1 ok....
Omm
Wow. What a true man and father.
Lavar made “The Magic Johnson” draft is son at NUMBER 2. Regardless of talent, that’s a hell of an accomplishment.
If Lonzo couldn't hoop, there is nothing Lavar could have said to get him drafted. Lonzo had an awesome freshman season and elevated his teammates. That's what Magic saw.
Lonzo led the country in assists when he was at UCLA that's what magic saw
ted woods if Lavar never said anything, DeAaron Fox might’ve been a Laker “at Number 2”. Lavar got in Magic’s head. Regardless of talent
The same magic that got Bron and lakers back on track
This ain’t an interview it’s an interrogation 😂😂
"The JBA is not the NBA, but it's basketball is basketball". FACTS!
Lonzo gotta stay healthy. PERIOD! Whenever you're in the game, you gotta perform. You're a Pro.
Lavar ain't perfect but thas still my guy
Aint nobody perfect in this world
@B Jordan stop judgin another man he promoted his sons and made them who they are as of today, hating ass guess u aint done something big in life
@Franco Cavalli your praising or hating wont get to him nor buying his shoes or not affects him hes done already, american society works different
@B Jordan just because he believes in them doesn't mean he used them he created them the talent passion from the start, even then lonzo will be great player we dont know the future yet
B Jordan
“He used his sons to promote himself”
Same things the NBA, ESPN, Nike, NCAA etc. does but when a dad does it to create wealth for himself and his family it’s a bad thing???
Lamelo “Worldwide” Ball 😂
Forget basketball 🏀 the way this man speaks up for his FAMILY is simply amazing!!! 💯💯💯
Especially when it comes to his wife!
Nothing but RESPECT ✊🏽
Mark Jackson definitely made the warriors who they are.
Brandon LURENZO 🚫🧢
Facts!!
Brandon LURENZO yes
Lavar switchin gears in this interview
Sending love from Toronto Canada 🇨🇦 Lamelo will be a top three pick .
Well actually no
dadzis wanker If you disagree say why. That’s just ignorant.
dadzis wanker so when do you think he’s gonna get picked?
@@yngcarp7265 8-16
dadzis wanker So were not gonna act like every single mock draft has him going too 4
This was very enjoyable
Bruh what this interviewer talking about. Melo never had a normal child hood I think he loved his child hood being around his brothers 24/7 growing up and having a Lambo at 16.
flexz yeahh he was buggin with that question lmaoo ig it was from a privileged perspective bc anybody who had any kinda struggle in life would have loved to have had melo childhood🤷🏾♂️
Naquan Nimmons Exactly lol
For reals. The heck is a “normal childhood”? Monotonous mediocre ass life?
You have to drink everytime he says “on the fact that”
Can't drink anymore on the fact that I ran out of booze
im drunk lol
Media can’t get away from this man lol
This guy doing the interview clearly doesn’t know anything!
1xxxkingsnake he actually came well prepared what are you talking about
@@thuggathuggababy wym he asked the funnest questions....why lonzo not playing 40 minutes if he better than Steph ....last I checked Steph didn't star till the 2nd half of his 2nd year....HE DOESN'T KNOW ENOUGH BASKETBALL TO ASK BASKETBALL QUESTIONS
Deven Dean those are tough questions to ask in an interview what’s the issue with asking tougher questions?
@@FadeAwayHov to my knowledge Lonzo is in his 3rd year and Lavar said he's better than steph as is he didn't say as a rookie
@@thuggathuggababy that there is a difference in tough questions and dumb ones
Isn’t it funny how they’re such superstars but they need each other, the right coach, the right minutes, the right teammates, the right training staff, the right EVERYTHING!!!! Ya superstars
Gail Marie exactly...finally someone else saying what I'm saying lol
Racist beeyotc that's how sports work...see MJ on bulls or magic on Lakers
V Font lmao hardly and yep superstars don’t need everything perfect to be a great player, obviously you don’t know much about professional sports
@@gailmarie65 You are a female so obviously you do not know if you know anything about sports Then you would know that things do happen to be right right coach right system right pieces
V Font not only a dumb statement but your grammar sucks? It’s 2020 dude, get real!
How can you not respect this guy for pushing his sons, helping his wife, helping his parents and wife’s parents all the holidays the business side and the opportunities he’s given people
GREAT VIDEO.. LAVAR THE GOAT #BBB
Lavar will ruin lamelos career being a loudmouth
Big Baller Bust
Facts
LaVar is full of bS. And you know Melo has asked aka told him to hush it for the past year
Love him or hate him LAVAR Brings lots of fun everytime he speaks I laugh and he helped his boys Big Startup. WELCOME BACK LAVAR
Meh I wish I had a dad that in my life that’s supportive 24/7 me like the ball Brothers I would love to be in that shining spotlight without negativity around me I wouldn’t never take anything for granted
you must be latino or black. There are so many great dads out there, the standards are so low for black dads it's crazy.
@@Airsole23 wtf your comment is ridiculously stupid asf race doesn't have to do with anything
M1 it doesn’t have to do with race it’s just lazy bum ass failure dads out there that just wanna make kids just because they have a penis they not men enough to take care of they seeds if they won’t be Responsible for their actions just wear a condom an not having a dad in my life made me stronger and wiser my mom is the only one that’s taken care of me and my little sisters if I get Chance to get rich I’ll always take care of my family and the poor rich young dummies just take the rich lifestyle for granted females doesn’t gets the most credit they deserve god bless all the single moms out there that’s active in they’re kids life more the the dads and if I have children one day I’ll never let them down
He’s a great father
Whether you like it or not, Lavar aims to control the narrative...period. He’s a strong black father. Love to see his passion for his children.
Strong black man who married a strong good credit white women. ✊
yo Momma's Drawls that comment bothered you racist? Their mother didn’t contribute sh!t.
Which is something that the STATUS QUO, isn't use to having to deal with. They are so use to seeing one parent households where the mother sees them as both a savior and father figure and therefore lets them do whatever they want.
LaVar doesn't put up with this SH^T and they don't like it. What's worst, his actions will lead to more black families taking more control over the outcomes of their kids, either via other family members or with attorneys.
@@billiondollarbaby973 YOU evidently know NOTHING about genetics or DNA because it was Tina and LaVar's DNA and tutlege that has gotten these boys where they are. Genetically, Tina contributed 50% so your statement is FKING FALSE!
Melo is box office and has the talent to match. He is a surefire number one pick
Lol
He’s not box office. 2 years in the nba no one will care
"no no no no no, no ups and downs..... peaks and valleys!!!" -Lavar Ball lmao
Couldn’t get past 5 mins of this. Media still trying to tear him down
He Really Knows His Son’s Better Than Anybody, These Teams and Coaches Need To Start Listening To Him💯 His Kids Are Talented💯
That man love his boys coming from where we from having Father's not in the home I cheer for him 100%
The interviewer is super anti ball family
thank u for posting this
lavar ball is great...very supportive for his sons
BBB CEO!!! Always a pleasure watching this brother speak. ESPN get Lavar back on the show for some real entertainment.
Lavar cut him off damn near every question
Lavar continues to speak things into existence for his sons. I believe Lonzo and Lamelo will play in the NBA for a long time.Gelo will play overseas and might join at some point .
Limitless World Sports- Chester Mbekela yep. I think if gelo improves teams will definitely be interested just to sell tickets and stuff. Plus he could be a solid role player
I love how the interviewer stuck to his guns
Lavar made some good point and terrible points
He didn’t let lavar bully him with his opinion he kept asking real questions and was sticking to them
senr those weren’t real questions those where negative questions. He was trying to make Lavar slip up. Don’t be fooled.
senr what interview were you watching??? Lavar had his way and took over and he has done this sense he has had the spotlight on him Shanon Sharpe is the only person that came real with Lavar this man belief system in his boys are real and there are a lot of gatekeepers who don’t like a black man with his head high and confident I mean really think about it the nba is a giant why is there agenda to make a man look bad for saying his sons are the best ??? The NBA put the mics in his face the news outlets put the mics in his face really look at this .
John Allen what are you talking about.... they had negative connotations to almost every question. Lavar avoided the negative parts and answered the questions very well. So what ever else you’re talking about...
King Judah lol I totally agree with you Lavar knows how to take over a interview with no problem I was puzzled to what interviewer the gentleman was watching when he said the interview stuck to his guns and asked Lavar the real questions
King Judah that was my point they were negative questions because they were the reality. He kept saying LaMelos the best player in the draft. Interviewer kept asking “why are the hawks 4-11”
He asked if a team needs a big or wing would they take melo over team need? & there’s a yes and no answer for that. Warriors would NOT take him if they get the number 1 pick. They go Wiseman that’s the realistic choice, but lavar would still think Melos going number which isn’t realistic. That’s what I mean by him sticking to his guns.
“Nah we ain’t got no ups and downs... but like i said in any business we goin to have some peaks and valleys” 🤦🏽♂️
His rap is real good. Love the way lavar speaks his life to reality
He’s not just speaking it. He’s working it into existence
C very true
10:15 LaMelo doing Carmelo celebration 🤔👀
Whose here after Lonzo gets to 4 straight 20 point games, Melo 100million dollar contract, and Gelo getting on the OKC Blue. The ball family on a role.
Dam give lonzo time to blossom it typically take 4 years to see if someone will be a star player
Idk bru.. he's the number 2 pick and thats what he's been showing thus far...
Doesn't seem like a star in the making to say the least
Man I wanna see zo become a 🌟 but I think he is who he is now
@@jeremyjones290 especially now days Luca 🌟trey young 🌟 Donavon Mitchell 🌟Devon Booker 🌟Ginnas improving every year it shows up early now days try wait 4 5 years if u want you'll get passed over as being a 🌟now nothing wrong with being a role player
Lamelo ball kicked the NCAA door down. He showing that you don’t need college to get to the NBA 💡
I mean he isn't the first to not go college, what nonsense are you speaking
Lmaoooo melo would have loved to go to college tho. And was pissed that he couldnt. And thats ALL on his father for making him play in Lithuania.
Quicks Pp we are talking about the next generation...he’s showing you don’t have to take the traditional college route to the NBA
noza rashi yes it’s his father fault but melo is playing against other professionals in the world. Look at luka
Jeremy Campbell you hating foo
Yea lavar took control of this whole interview. He said some facts about melo being used to the spotlight.
Great father. Have to believe in your children and speak positive to them until they believe too.
18:37 “let’s talk about Lonzo”. The excuse is priceless....
Espn was wrong about LaVat, listen to him talk about Tina.
Nobody:
Lavar: “on the fact that”
😂😂😂😂
Lmao truly nobody else but Lavar
i don't think he knows what a 'fact' is...
Mello is special, he is learning to play the basketball game, on a professional level, the right way and I actually believe Mello will excel in the NBA, for sure. He is awesome and has such tensity and calm. Mello can really play. His guard handling skills are impeccable and his on-court vision is off the chart. His shooting ability and energy level are very high and once he put on some more weight and improves more, his defense skills. The sky is the limit. He is currently better than any basketball player leaving college now and ones that will be graduating next year.
That one question about Melos Childhood was stupid😂. He’s acting like having all your family by your side, living in Chino Hills, playing the sport you love, and being famous on social media wasn’t the perfect childhood
Everyone said Lavar was an idiot for ruining Melos Eligibility. Meanwhile he’s been making tons of money off his name for years and is still gonna be a top 3 pick lol. Mans a genius
He said “in the fact that” so many times😂😂
How is that different from the other athletes who say " You Know" about 50 times in an interview?
They hyped this guy up and then tried to tear him down... questioned his parenting and his business savy... but he ain’t no different than any other parent who has sons who can play ball, you have the upmost confidence in your kids... only difference is they had him on TV saying his son was better than so and so... he started his OWN brand, his OWN league and did it with his OWN money and OWN kids... I got the upmost respect for him, he’s not perfect at all but you gotta love his love for his family...
He’s a great father always entrusting supporting most importantly his boys known there entire life that Dad always believes in you. This is exactly how I am with my son. It’s easy to have kids but it take a man to be there from the very beginning all the way.
Big fan from Sacramento California
Ayyyye!!!!
@@datawolf2318 same
Alvin Gentry listen to you lavar wow and he got great results like you said he would so hopefully he continues to let Lonzo be Lonzo..
I love how Lavar speaks about his wife
A father that is self assured,full of confidence plus speaks his mind....WHEN was the last time we seen a movie with a lead playing a role like that let alone in real life??
Say what you want about Lavar. This man loves his sons.
Lavar don’t let anyone interview him 😂😂😂😂😂
The interviewer was just trying to hold his ground, LaVar is an alpha who tries to control the room with his confidence and smile while being aggressive and smooth at the same time. It's the perfect combination for any great negotiator, LaVar could sell cup lids, or straw wrappers, it's how he talked Lonzo into being no. 1 or 2, but with Melo, he's actually speaking the truth. The interviewer isn't being negative he's being objective. Of course, now that we live in an oversensitive society in which every question in which isn't feeding the ego or drowned with positive reinforcement, we cheek it as negative or being a hater, not everyone is looking to being your friend, the man had a job to do, ask objective and fair questions, and by the end of the interview, he was dancing to LaVar's tune anyway. So people please delete your comments about this guy being a hater, he is not a hater.
Melo has learned from Lavar’s mistakes with Zo.
Yep and he’s been telling him to hush up for a while now
Gail Marie lol does lavar look like someone you can tell hush?
rman lol he’s a loud mouth for sure
Am I the only one that thinks dude looks like mark cuban in the thumbnail
I thought it was him
I definitely did
Young men take notice...
How Lavar behaves that’s how a Leader/Dad/Men should act and lead their family....
No matter how many times the reporter try him, he stays put and is a role example for Men.
Salute to Lavar Ball, and blessings to his family.... well deserved!
Well said. Belief in his boys. He shut down the racist white troll
Made an excellent point on how you gotta believe in your guys and let them be free. They been playing for a while let them be free. Then coach around wat you got. That’s what messed up my playing days in high school but these guys are professional so I agree
Zion getting hurt ruined Lonzo's role on the Pelicans. Zo & Zion were going to ball out together (pause)
Mmmnah man. Lonzo is the one and only guy that can work with everybody. Inproving their game actually. Zion is lucky he ended with him at nola. Hope they'll both do good and healthy.
Respect ✅💯
Thank you Lavar!! Very underrated parent/agent/marketing genius
At least The interviewer is asking challenging questions. Lavar shows how to keep your emotions in check.
Lavar dropped that gem.. Work hard now, or work hard later. It's your choice 30:36
19:44 LMFAO
Great interview!
35:45 length interview and you still can’t hate this guy..Lavar is the truth...
Why do they hate us so much, it’s crazy...🤦🏽♂️💪🏾👊🏾 family over everyone ❤️
Good role model as a father.
Big ups 🔥 🔥🔥 🔥
I absolutely love this man
Love hearing lavar explain logic to the media personnel
I feel like everyone thinks bad of him hes great and speaks facts
