LaVar Ball has invaded the lives of every basketball fan to some degree and he’s at it again. In speaking about UCLA’s season-ending loss to Kentucky in the 2017 NCAA Tournament, LaVar made reference to a particular reason why he thinks Lonzo Ball and company were unable to compete at the highest level.
In comments to the Orange County Register, LaVar indicated that the Bruins had defensive issues because they played “three white guys” at the same time.
No, really, that’s what he said.

I don’t care to hear anything else this dude has to say about anything.
Or maybe your son getting owned by De’aaron Fox. Twice.
Let’s be serious, if a white dad of a white son said that his sons team lost because his sons team had three black guys on the team that couldn’t hit their jump shots, it’d be a bigger story and the word racism would be plastered all over it. Bottom line is this, the kid Ball isn’t that good, in no way shape or form ready for the NBA, and his dad is a walking human douchebag.
nah, the kid is legit. His dad is just an asshole.
The kid can ball. Won’t be able to get that shitty slow jumper off in time for the NBA but he actually has insanely good passing skills and instincts and can get to the hoop at will. His father is a complete retard but that is by design. The biggest loudest retard in America is now the President, he is just following a successful plan and saying whatever stupid bullshit comes to his mind to generate interest. Everybody who saw that game knows Leaf was the best player on UCLA that night.
Again…he’s Kendall Marshall with a hype man
Kendall was an even better passer than Lonzo but was cursed with being slow, no explosion and 3 inches shorter.
I still firmly believe Kendall can be a good 3rd string PG.
UCLA fan/alum here: The next time one of his sons plays a lick of defense will be the first. Lonzo was a great player at UCLA and changed the chemistry of the team this year. That said I wish UCLA never had anything to do with him anymore.
well just 2 more to go
His defense lost them that game with UK. Guy was all about getting his stats.
The next kid is ranked about 250, so good luck with that one and done.
There is literally nothing Lavar Ball could say that would make me drop my jaw at this point. I shake my head, quietly hope he doesn’t kill all of his sons’ careers, and move on. It’s gotten to the point I think where teams are going to worry about Lavar being a distraction to their team.
Well he’s sort of right. His kid is half white and was a half step to slow. Rough taking racial abuse from your own dad.
Bwahaha! Truth.
Dats racist
Not racist…bigoted and ignorant. Kinda disappointed…was on dude side for the most part, but this wasn’t funny or facts…Though UCLA as a whole looked outmatched against a beatable team…Lonzo’s lack of aggression didn’t inspire his guys to play better…
Just lame…ah well. Good luck LiAngelo next year at UCLA
