Chauncey Edwards exactly

[@youmadbro951]

[@92wbradford]

LaVar is not chasing no cameras! Y’all chasing him and he is capitalizing and laughing to the bank! Lol

[@826_Vegeta_UCM]

Estos son FACTS

[@dmelton_yt]

The media should stop running to Lavar for his opinion then. Lavar isn't out here all on social media and such talking about the Lakers. If the media constantly put cameras in the face of other parents, negative things would be said about other teams and coaches. The followed him to Lithuania for goodness sakes.

[@mrhoopfan1]

I don't know why people fail to see this

[@flightjjfish8678]

dmelton_ they want the views dumb bitch

[@runrafarunthebestintheworld]

The media? It's only just ESPN interviewing LaVar Ball weekly.

[@dmelton_yt]

Run Ronaldo Run #THEBESTINTHEWORLD even if it's just ESPN, which it's not, it's still the media

[@TheJinjo75]

Last time I check the Lakers organization have no control over the media. Lavar should just keep his mouth shut about the Lakers.

[@wolf2109]

Why is everybody tripping out? Dont they know the *Lakers drafted Lavar Ball, not Lonzo?* 🤔🤔🤔

[@perryd5462]

BINGO!

[@40lopezz]

Aaron Villescas he get them views lol that why the will not stop

[@jasonhowell1264]

Your right, total media creation.

[@222222e]

This is stupid AF. Wouldn't it be smarter for the media to just stop interviewing him? Nope, ya'll want something to talk about, and he makes your corny shows interesting.

[@MikeBNumba6]

Lavar wouldn't even popular if the media just ignored him. The guy got famous for saying his son was going to better then a former MVP. LOL that's it. They have nothing else to talk about other then Lavar. There are many players and teams in the NBA yet they talk about the same damn people, Lebron, Durant, Lavar Ball, and Westbrook.

[@damitrimoore]

Because people still click these vids to see what lavar says and what they say about him. Espn puts up what people wanna watch

[@dfite24]

Because the media doesn’t work for the lakers they can care less about how this is effecting them. First take is just here to give an opinion

[@davidcampos8032]

Bro are you dumb they make money off this man, why would they ever stop interviewing him lol

[@Onlyrealmusic4life]

As long as people like you click and on top of that leave comments that get up votes, they will continue to interview him. I'm gonna go even farther than you and say "wouldn't it be smarter not to click on this videos and add to the views?" Everyone wants to point fingers at someone else on these videos.

[@9doggie12]

How bout we stop telling grown men what to do.

[@mrgartrellofficial]

Deuante Kelly yes, I agree 100% with you...The Lakers, Magic, etc CANNOT tell Lavar what to do...How does a man you don't even work for tell you what to do.. Come on with that nonsense

[@mrgartrellofficial]

CeeWorld Magic or the Lakers dont Control Lavar, so what do you suggest they do?

[@christianrossil3729]

Honestly the media made Lavar’s comments bigger than what they actually are if you listen to the whole interview.

[@TheSTRILLA]

Christian Rossil exactly

[@UrbanLovesDaLakersbaby]

Right...but this is the media who will twist your words

[@limpfinger12]

Lavar Ball just seems toxic. He's the dance mom of basketball

[@rodiceclay1472]

Only reason Lavar's comments are relevant is because the media makes it that way. They want to make the guy headline news, pretending to be so upset with him. All these rookies that's making legitimate impacts on their teams but the sports mrdia chooses to ignore them because they want a circus.

[@joshuahaynes7128]

Charlemagne Da Fraud that's exactly right!!

[@Shortlady82]

I’ve always said that!!!!!!

[@BlackHippy27]

So Lavar Ball says one sentence Espn talks about it non stop for 3 days straight doesn't Stephen A Smith say Mike Tomlin lost the steelers team locker room when he knows absolutely nothing about coaching football

[@hunchokevo347]

LaVar has everyone going crazy and it’s amazing to watch 🍿

That nigga Kevin lmfao it’s funny of his interactions with an nba legend he gives no shits looll

[@FULLmeltHASH]

Lavar is lonzo’s dad why tf y’all getting so mad over lavar comment like he plays for the lakers df. Everybody entitled to there own opinion

[@Bodhi594]

It's a massive distraction for one of the most iconic sports franchises in the Country. I like the support LaVar gives his son. But it's gone viral and it's causing problems. It's not healthy.

[@jeremyboalteng9234]

Lamelo at 16 years old is skinny af, when lebron was jacked at 16 🤣

[@esaamikal8416]

Exactly like it’s as simple as NOT interviewing him or even acknowledge him.

[@jeremyboalteng9234]

Esaa Mikal You are right!!, But did you see how bald is Lavar compare to Jordan

[@CUTTHACAP]

Brandon how is it a distraction? Who putting the camera and running the news to put lavar quotes out anyway? THE MEDIA. I’m not shutting up when it come to my son are you dumb? lol. That’s my boy. Idc where he play long as he playing. You don’t like what he talking or what he saying blame the media man. Steve Kerr spoke about this go watch it

[@adanrosales3340]

Lmao dude it's your guys fault that u guys care so much about what lavar said 😂😂 I guarantee the other dads of the players say the same shit just don't have as much of a media presence 😂

[@francisjameskho937]

TRUE!

[@treehouse8658]

Doofy BINGOOOOOOOO💯

[@trentgipson1589]

Reggie trying stay relevant....Lavar Ball keeping these old cats n the game ..cause if he was white reggie wouldnt said shit

[@imaniburris8379]

Preach!! Lavar is literally a dad who is just proud of his sons while capitalizing off the drama-thirsty media. He's just speaking his mind like every other parent, and they keep putting mics in his face! That's why I love him, cause he hasn't changed since day 1!!!

[@JonathanHernandez-vq1pe]

Doofy ikr idk why they’re putting a mic on him he’s just a dad with three sons that play basketball who cares what he says ESPN is “broken”

[@alexchernandez88]

Y'all just gonna ignore the fact that Lonzo thoroughly outplayed and beat fox's team last night? Lmao

[@TheGalaxyfilmtwo]

hes playing on the kings tho...

[@Proatcod10]

5 points wow crazy performance

[@Iaintsayinnothin..]

They only care when he plays bad, that's what haters are smh..

[@alexron503]

TDreacts lonzo had 11 assists, 11 rebounds, and 5 steals. Fox 1 rebound, 3 assists, and lost.

[@Frozilla15]

El dinero Major They lost 8 straight without Lonzo, plus Kuzma is too inefficient to run the offense.

[@ESmaniak]

LOL Stephen A bringing up Fox smoking Lonzo in NCAA like Fox's ass didn't get smoked last night against the Kings. Lonzo didn't even have to score on his ass to cook him.

[@coachhhhhhh]

Okay Damn fr Fox ain’t done shit but everybody wanna talk about Lonzo, same w Fultz even tho he’s injured Fultz is gonna be trash I can see it.

[@coachhhhhhh]

HAZZARD bruh he also had 11 rebounds, 11 assists, 5 steals, 1 block and a +/- of 33. I can tell you’re a casual fan if all you look at is points. Fox didn’t do shit that game and also shot 0/5 in the fourth.

[@sayeyadolo6875]

lmaooo the only player i see they bring minus and pluses lmaooo

[@lebronjames7746]

Saye Yadolo FOH Lonzo had a near triple double in a game at the beginning of the season and all you haters had to say was “look at his negative +/-, he’s a bust!”.

If it wasn't for Lavar Ball...no one would even be talking about the Lakers

[@bigtimewillie8846]

Do ya relieve believe a professional organization is gonna be affected by opinions?

[@jonq8714]

Not in a vacuum, however Lavar's comments are never in a vacuum and are discussed practically every day by ESPN and the like. It's going to become tiresome to the players and coaches eventually having to deal with a constant distraction. He's sand in the bathing suit. Shit, I'm annoyed by them and I'm not even a Laker fan.

[@bluntheadass6863]

[@mrbryan2324]

Joshua Barner I agree

[@snoopers360]

He won't listen to the president of the US. Why would he listen to Magic? lmao. Max and steven have good form but always miss the shot. Like almost buddy, almost.

[@irsute8833]

You're wrong. They love Lavar. They love the circus, they love the drama and they're going to fuel it as much as they can. He's the goofy bad guy that the NBA media needed. It's a giant act and they all make revenue off of it.

[@stevent6494]

U stupid shit and everyone else who agreed, LaVar speaks his opinion no credentials no facts besides Stephen a smith and those type of shows everyone from the media who reports about teams like Adrian wojornaski and all the team reportes for every nba team they can’t report opinions everything has to be facts or have a source to it, so it’s not about being scared it about doing your job the right way or else players will call you out and you will be out of a job

[@joshuabarner7863]

steven nigga you just said Reporters can’t Report opinions yet here they are CONSTANTLY REPORTING LAVAR BALLS OPINION....reports SPECULATE .... do you know how many sources are INCORRECT? Reporting is Just opinions based of facts or not. Take a journalism class ..... like for example based of what you said I can speculate or report that your Dumb as fuck... no sources needed... just sharing my opinion because I’m not afraid to.... Lavar is sharing his opinion and the media is constantly giving him a national outlet to do so then they cry about it.... Lavar is the NBA right now

[@lujones9961]

Majic not gonna say nothing cause its no a problem . why do people get so in they feelings on opinions

[@lebronisgoat623g7]

Lavar ended up doing Luke a favor. Now everyone's defending him instead of really talking about how bad Walton has been as a coach

[@luv4jets]

You know what Lavar Ball is in Lithuania right now isn't coming back till June. I don't think he really made his comments to speak bad about Luke Walton, was just trying to get under the players on the Lakers skin because they hadn't played well lately and weren't competing . Well they played pretty well last night and if they keep playing like that they will creep close .500 maybe just maybe make the playoffs but there is a lot of work to be done for that to happen.

[@jeffhardy6333]

The Lakers are last in the West. If you ask Ingram’s Dad the same question he’ll say the same thing. Any parent or fan would. It’s just that ESPN asked Lavar, that’s why y’all are mad lmao

[@isrv]

Lol I had to pause and end the clip right there.

[@piranhastudios6125]

These guys are missing the point. Luke had a nine game losing streak. Lavar commented on it and its not the popular choice of words amongst nba coaches, but a lot of people on social media think the same thing. These guys complain about the distraction but yet choose to talk about everyday.

[@bathsaltzombies8855]

Piranha Studios a lot of people think that on social media??? Well shit, it must be true then

[@rapperbeast6068]

Piranha Studios Yeah there hypocrites they keep putting the camera in his face To speak then criticize what he says...there's alot of sports drama around the world to discuss. But the stations choose.. Choose to discuss ball.. Rather than other sports..

[@skankhunt2731]

Nothing that Lonzo has done, his dumbass father decided to say something along the lines of "Luke Walton has lost the laker locker room and gotta go"

[@balla4life215]

He's not very good and his dad's a distraction...

[@drcpharaoh4714]

Because a lot of teams would take him with good assets i.e the Pelicans can part with one of their bigs and get a small .....the Bucks could make a package deal for him. New York etc etc....their are team with big men who need a ''true'' pg and are willing to part with assets and star players and to the Lakers if its good then hey they would go all in to get away from the distraction. Lavar needs to the Lakers the Lakers don't need the Ball bros....they'll sale tickets and get better anyways....PG and Kuzma with Clarkson wouldn't be a bad line up considering who you could draft/bring in .....this upcoming draft is deep so Lakers

[@babs4009]

[@phunkdoctaspock]

For once SAS sits there quietly whilst getting his ass handed to him by Max. The body language is absolutely priceless.

[@Philly-zo2xn]

All im saying is why is it such a problem all Lavar is doing is saying what the fans are saying but he has a bigger voice he isnt lying Walton is a terrible coach and Laker fans know it his rotations are garbage his defensive schemes are ass he is a bad coach all Lavar is saying is exactly what people in the comments are saying

[@kinsoncooper7333]

Eric Quick .... Apparently it's Lavar's fault the Lakers lost 9 in a row.. Walton deserves criticism.

[@Philly-zo2xn]

exactly i guess its Lavars fault as well that the players on the Lakers are not comfortable because they are in trade talks i didnt know 1 mans thoughts was this deep its not like he talking shit about a winning coach like Pop or Kerr or Lue the man is talking about a coach who cant win games doesnt use his players correctly and he should be called out on it

[@datapocalypse_9]

Max Kellerman, has the best argument here..., I've said from day one, Lonzos shooting mechanics would be his crutch in the NBA, just watch how Patrick Beverley, was just relentless on defense against Zo, and showed how you can isolate and expose his shooting flaw. Also, Reggie Miller had a LOUD mouth as well.

[@cobanjo]

All these people hate Lavar cause he talks

[@patrickbowe3824]

What is ironic about Reggie Miller's comment about threatening to trade Lonzo and taking away Lavar's credentials is the fact that the man is on the other side of the world and ESPN sent a reporter with him and besides that Lavar has a much bigger platform than ESPN and it's called Facebook. Reggie Miller also was a disappointment for his PLANTATION statement, threaten a man for his opinions, Lavar needs to get or stay in line . This is what happens when you put money above everything else. ESPN created this storm now they get mad when it rains . But really the goal in mind is to keep at Lavar to to get rid of him because he is changing the landscape, if only in a small way he is still creating awareness.

[@Arthur-bz9ps]

I disagree with SAS saying Lonzo should shut his daddy up. Lavar is who he is and no one is gonna shut him up and not even Lonzo. The only way anyone can shut him up is if the media stops interviewing him and that's not gonna happen because of Lavar's popularity.

[@jbmp1390]

Arthur James I love my Dad but if he was fucking up my money with things he was saying in the media I would absolutely tell him to shut the fuck up. I'd say "Hey Dad, you know all that success I'm having that you're profiting from in a big way as well? Would you like to continue profiting from that? Yes. Then please just shut the fuck up for a minute, even if what you're saying is right. The NBA is all about egos, and if you fuck up my career because you can't keep yours in check that's unforgivable and ridiculous on your part because your strangling the golden goose". Praise Lavar Ball all you want, but the fact is he's not the one on the fucking court. In reality he's a loser who lives vicariously through his sons and it's really pathetic.

[@xDELFYonceagain]

jbmp1390 Then you don’t respect your father. Lonzo knows he wouldn’t be where he is without Lavar - so he’ll never talk bad about him.

Lol idiot this is business team can say stfu to any parents if they like.

[@jmartins2729]

Reggie needs to chill his time is up, Magic needs to fire Walton asap because no free agent coming w/ his ass on the bench..

[@RoYaLLeGiiTHD]

No free agents coming period, 76ers a bigger draw than the lakers are now.... shit I'd say lakers are one of the worst rosters out there atm you'll be lucky to resign your free agents 😂😂

[@rickyjohnson2094]

People a so weak now days..... Are we at the point where an entire sports organization can't handle somebody talking about them? Come on get out of here.

[@TheMaddBlackMann]

Trade Lonzo if you want. Lonzo will ve better with a different team. Imagine Kristaps with a Lonzo. Also Luke Walton has been terrible as a coach. He is doing HORRIBLE

[@FiRe24710]

Madd Blak MaNN Urban Social Commentary imagine lonzo on the t wolves

[@TheMaddBlackMann]

FiRe24710 He would average 15 assist on the T Wolves

[@TheGalaxyfilmtwo]

why? the timberwolves already has a heavy pass pg and sg.... Knicks have an excellent young PG in french frank as well.... I dont see how lonzo adds to that

[@TheMaddBlackMann]

TheGalaxyfilmtwo If Frank had Lonzo numbers it would be called the steal of the draft. Lonzo getting 8 dimes on a team that cant shoot

[@TheGalaxyfilmtwo]

You realise a rookie gets weaker stats on better teams right.... because they dont play as much or have the offense run through them... Lonzo gets 8 assists on average cause he plays 30 plus minutes and is the primary ball handler any time hes on the court.... If he plays for the knicks he gets 20 mins and the offense often goes through porzingis....

[@malykins]

Why is everybody tripping? Lavar probably just said that to rally all the young guys to protect and stand by Luke. They’re a young core, lavar just teaching them loyalty.

[@zinzayzinzay3085]

Look like Lavar Ball is running the Lakers.

[@ruthieyiu7464]

Luke needed to be held accountable....Magic and Lakers said nothing.....Lavar Ball wasn't having it.... do you job... Young coach

[@luistapia4616]

Ruthie Yiu how the team is young and lavar ball said he wouldn't be involved he keeps criticizing luke Walton

[@jeffhardy6333]

Lonzo leads Lakers in every major stat other than scoring. Magic will not trade Lonzo just because his dad spoke the truth about Luke Walton

[@doctor2kgreen256]

[@abyz9774]

I’m sorry where does he lead in every major stat?

[@jeffhardy6333]

kobe jones Assists, Rebounds, Steals, Blocks. That’s impressive for a 19 year old

[@CreekCityDave]

Reggie is right about one thing Magic could def get Lavar in line with that ultimatum. More importantly though, all of this just proves how fragile that locker room is right now. No player's parent should be able to cause such alleged detriment to a franchise especially with just words and opinions. If so, you have MUCH bigger problems than Lavar Ball.

[@GetsugaSengan]

Shocking that a media member wants someone to say something publicly instead of just talking to his team about it. saying something publicly doesn't change anything but the ratings on talk shows like this...

[@TheEmaonedunn]

It's was you guys that put him ON

[@CraigRavel]

It crazy bc he said that off camera the reporter brought it up smh

[@TrEo2322]

So Reggie wants to use Lonzo as leverage? Hm that’s why I Ike Lavar. Think about it, if you don’t shut up Lavar I’m going to trade your son... lol

[@Bodhi594]

This entire situation is making the Lakers look Amateur and G-league. This is the Los Angeles Lakers.

[@calig8390]

Brandon stop it. You're reaching. 🤣🤣🤣 The g league wouldnt even have 1% of this kinda coverage

[@Bodhi594]

Cali G Right but it makes the Lakers look Amateur. I'm not talking about coverage. It's about image and perception.

[@marcusbarnes1177]

I disagree with Reggie. Magic doesn't need to dignify Lavar's comments with a response, especially a public response! If the Lakers trade a promising young player because his dad runs his mouth then the Lakers aren't the arguably best NBA franchise that we all believe them to be.

[@nealfrost12]

Magic Johnson should talk to him privately, tell him to chill out

[@jpatt85]

The only thing Magic Johnson needs to do is stop wearing turtle neck shirts with suits. This ain't the 80's

They want Lavar to be soft spoken and quiet 🤫 tf Lavar say what you want my guy ✊🏽😂

[@timhoward5]

The ending was priceless

[@son-ofblack-king2187]

People of color shouldn't think that way Reggie Miller. Caring about what Lavar Ball says is like caring about whats said in barber shops. Wanna fine them?

[@SmokezHerb]

The drama machine is at it again

[@brysonnz]

At our school BBB refers to the dress code and reminds people to cover their Bellies, Buttocks, and Breasts.

[@csd8204]

Can't believe these guys are making a bigger deal of this than it needs to be. It's a non-issue but they're sure trying to turn it into one. Max is right again.

[@thacheckhookking6348]

Max kicked Stephen A's ass on this one lol

[@thekid26000]

CRABS IN A BARREL...Just because you don't like the way he becomes wealthy doesn't mean you should stop him from getting there! Think of how many other people HE has the opportunity to help in the future if this happens for him. Do you really think this man has no scrooples? He has plenty and this is why we're talking about him now! Very disappointed with Stephen A. who attempts to go against the grain with his commentary style to stand out! He appears disrespectful at times but has been given a pass. I expect this from Reggie Miller!

[@vizunip8773]

tru

[@Verzionz__]

Rodney Hawkins incorrect

[@thekid26000]

Stephen A. did a small script on Markelle Fultz (the first pic in the nba draft) today and how the world has forgotten about him WHY...because Lavar Ball has gotten us watching his son! These were the words of Stephen A. You guys are only seeing a persona and character that Lavar Ball is putting out there to get exactly what he's getting now...attention to his product!

[@ReglaBrillante]

How is SAS gonna mention Fox smoking Lonzo in the NCAA tournament right after the Lakers beat the Kings (with Lonzo having much better stats in last nights game than Fox)? ESPN literally just tryna create as much controversy as possible for ratings.

[@rvin2665]

lmao bruh. lonzo didn't smoke fox. I watched the whole game. On the 3rd game in 4 nights deaaron fox was easily blowing by Lonzo. With the pace that the lakers play at if fox played in that type of system he would have a similar stat line. Fox's already averaging 4 AST in the slower offense that we play right now. I guess you don't want to mention Deaaron made 3-5 from 3pt, something lonzo can barley be average at in his career.

[@Knowledgeisthekey1st]

Rigoberto Chavez Jr. FOX: 15pts, 6-16fg, 3-5 from 3PT Lonzo 5pts, 2-10fg, 1-7 from 3PT / 11 asst., 11reb. I had to show something that was positive for Lonzo because he desperately needs it when playing Fox. Fox>Lonzo

[@rvin2665]

Yeee don't forget the 3 ast, 1 blk, 4 stl

[@SpaceMechanic]

rrelador where was that fast system when Lonzo was out? 🤔

[@rvin2665]

Berserk it’s what the coach emphasizes. Lonzo just so happens to be the ONLY playmaker. Clarkson is more of a scoring guard. If they just had one other play maker, bogdanvic could run a fast paced offense if he wanted to

[@johnjames6426]

These dudes are acting like females...lol

[@staygold9798]

nothing speaks louder, than silence ...

[@chrisnapolion6967]

Adam silver needs to get involve with having lavar ball removed from the premises

[@bmgstudios9371]

"We're gonna trade your son" Reggies goof ass gotta go lol. All he's doin is giving Lavar more fame

[@bellajen9997]

They seen what happened when Lonzo was out.... Lonzo is not going anywhere,

What???? They was still trash before they even drafted that bum

[@Rugerman205]

Very true

[@goldenboy10x]

lucky 2k if you watch the games they are gettin better and only literally losing by like 10 or less

[@RandomlyOniC]

Controversy sells!! Instead of talking down on Lavar they could learn a few things from him! Love him or hate him that man is smart! People are talking about the Lakers and Luke because of Lavar. He was doing a lot of talking and his son was drafted Round 1, Pick 2. I smell a little envy. If ya can't beat em---join em! Lavar talking trash about Luke should light some fire under his butt and focus on motivating his team.

[@vibeswithtsanders]

Randomly Oni C facts.

[@kadams6242]

Randomly Oni C I give him props on the con game but now he needs to shut the fuck up, he's kid is a below ave baller cause he can't shot, he says they need to light a fire under his boy, tell you what you do holler at Utah send him and nance Jr for Rubio or Denver for Mudiay

[@BossofBosses111]

Randomly Oni C I've supported Lavar the entire way. But this time I thinks he should shut the fuck up. Sowing discord on the team your son is on, is nothing but negative.
