RE: Is Lavar Ball A Rare Marketing Genius?

in #basketball7 years ago (edited)

I do appreciate your opinions @brianphobos, but I saw him on CNN with Chris Cuomo a month or so ago...seems like just an idiot.

He is not even very good at being a showman. Not close to a Don King. He is desperately trying to but comes off as a fool who doesn't make sense when he talks.
.
IMHO, he has done nothing but hurt his sons' careers,

Sort:  

I guess it is yet to be seen for the younger two sons but even with all the potential conflicts LaVar could cause with coaches it has worked out well financially and quickest route for Lonzo.

One thing I will say is I don't like part of his coaching style. I saw a video where young LaMelo stayed up all night playing video games and then got abused by the competition the next day in his AAU game and LaVar was pissed and threw the ball real hard at LaMelo while he was sitting down. He caught it and everything but I don't like the negative reinforcement coaching.

I personally hate the guy and I also view him as an idiot but there's no denying that he's getting press. Alot of people think Trump is an idiot which may or may not be true but again he got elected and gets press. Alot of people hate Tai Lopez and think he's an idiot or a scammer but he's probably the most well known guy on Youtube.

Maybe in the end people wind up hating him and hsi family or some of these stunts blow up in his face but for now it's working for him. I say this as someone who is not a fan of him either.
