Apr 7, 2017 LaVar Ball, the outspoken father of former UCLA guard Lonzo Ball, gave two reasons Thursday for why the Bruins were eliminated in the NCAA tournament: Lonzo was saddled by a hamstring injury, and some of his teammates, whom LaVar referred to as "three white guys," couldn't pick up the slack. Lonzo Ball did not mention the injury after the Bruins' Sweet 16 loss to Kentucky, and UCLA coach Steve Alford said he believed his player was fine. "Realistically you can't win no championship with three white guys because the foot speed is too slow," LaVar Ball told the Southern California News Group, presumably talking about Bruins starters TJ Leaf, Bryce Alford and Thomas Welsh. "I told Lonzo, 'One of these games you might need to go for 30 or 40 points.' It turned out that was the one game," LaVar Ball added. "Then once they get to the Elite Eight, they're right there." Lonzo Ball is a likely lottery pick in this summer's NBA draft, with ESPN's Chad Ford projecting him to go No. 2 overall in his latest mock draft. Ball has filed paperwork for the draft and has hired an agent after playing one season at UCLA. He is a finalist for the John R. Wooden Award, which will be handed out Friday night in Los Angeles during ESPN's College Basketball Awards show (ESPN2). LaVar Ball's middle son, LiAngelo, is set to play at UCLA next season. His youngest son, LaMelo, is committed to UCLA in the class of 2019. Kentucky defeated UCLA 85-76 to advance to the South Region final, where it lost to eventual champion North Carolina. http://www.espn.com/mens-college-ba...lavar-ball-casts-blame-ucla-bruins-white-guys @YDB come and get your man
Apr 7, 2017 is it bad that i hope lonzo has an injury that prevents him from playing so we can get the Ball family the f--- outta here
Apr 7, 2017 this guy is just getting started, got 2 more kids coming into the league in the next 3 years.
Apr 7, 2017 How can y'all like a dude who literally is just using his son to make money for himself. Its f---ing pitiful.. I honestly feel bad for Lonzo and his brothers. I would smack the s--- outta my dad if I had a talent and he tried exploiting it the way Lavar is doing. Also I would smack him for talking s--- bout my teammates too.
Apr 7, 2017 Lonzo said he's been like this his entire life and the only difference is now there's a microphone in his face.
Apr 7, 2017 All I know is keep them the f--- away from Philly. They will get run out of this city faster than that last Rousey fight.
Apr 7, 2017 lol at black guys using all their energy for sports. Us white people are smart and conserve our energy on the court so we can use it later for consensual, missionary style sex with our clothes on
Apr 7, 2017 I know! That's sad. I would never be like that to my kid. Lavar needs to listen Kdot and just Sit Down & Be Humble
Apr 7, 2017 I think Lonzo is gonna be a good player in this league someday but I also hope that doesn't come with his Dad piggy backing off of it for the next few years. Stop giving the dude attention. He avg. 2 ppg in college lol.
Apr 7, 2017 But how do you think Lonzo feels? lol. I'd be embarrassed if that was my father. Stay your a--- on the sidelines Mr. 2 Points per game.
