Is LaVar Ball right about his son Lonzo?

[@Dzivdza]

much respect to lavar ball, he just keeping it real. Most of these people cant handle that amount of real

[@GaryTurbo]

UNDISPUTED ON FS1 No, his son is now an adult. Only Lonzo can decide what he wants

[@willemdee]

He may be a little more hyped than Curry was coming out of College, that's about it.

[@LB81395]

Sorry The Father is highly wrong, he is living through his son's. Wrong however you look at it. Money is the sole purpose of this. Brands can be created after they put NBA STATS UP!! ( Baller Brand is Ugly anyhow Lmao)......... Joe Jackson 2.0 smh

[@poloregal]

Chef Curry 360 exactly. They want everyone to be PC and not speak their mind. I love that he going 100 for his kid. What more can u ask from than a supportive father.

[@kwameob]

Lavar Ball is one of those old school fathers who wants you to wake up at 4 am every morning like you in the military 😂😂😂

[@YoungDen]

Kwame - Not bad when he pushes you to be great at what ever you want to be.

[@mdj5775]

Kwame that's what make people great no disrespect but fym

[@erickmack4131]

Kwame having routine and discipline breeds success

[@SnoopSimmonsSound]

you're exactly right about that man. I've started waking up every morning at 4am and it's changed my life.

[@joshuahart153]

I feel like his sons never really had the choice of what to do... it was only basketball, no other choice

[@sahilkurup3976]

of course skip asks lavar bout his high school days....wanting to know if anyone can average less than 1.4

[@youngthor1780]

is that true :p did he averaged 1.4 points?? hahahaha

[@nosmoke6556]

young thor Skip Bayless did lol.

[@mdj5775]

Sahil Kurup water pistol Pete maravich

[@youngthor1780]

haha yes ! this made my day haha

[@momandbro8]

Was Jalen Rose the first one to bring it up public, or was it already known?

[@younggun05]

This is how fathers should be. If your son is giving 110% and dominating, elevate his greatness, sh*t it worked mayweather, danny garcia, etc.

[@claytron3000]

eddie may Mayweather Jr and Sr had a pretty messed up relationship when Floyd started finding success, though. I think it's fair to say that people are predicting the same with Lavar in this situation (i.e. Lonzo will be a stud player, but will be playing to live up to the astronomical projections that his dadhas been heaping on him through the media ).

[@m111990]

In that situation Mayweather's Uncle was responsible for Jr's success.

[@younggun05]

Alex Castro not really. Mayweather started with his father but roger took over when his father left and took over in jr's prime

[@m111990]

^^I know this bro, we're on the same page. His dad went to prison then his uncle took over

[@2nvsolo451]

Lol what an idiot

[@frankywilliam8073]

This dad won at life lmfao. All three sons getting a free college education. Keep hatin

[@thelodit1662]

Francis Avoce Except they're not getting an education. Their mindset is one and done. I don't know if their academic ability rivals their basketball skills, but if not, college studies will be a struggle.

[@EyeLoveTheStars]

They're not lol they're not getting their degree.

[@henaresadlier]

EyeLoveTheStars they gon pull a Ty Lawson

[@anthonyc2781]

Francis Avoce not only free college education but a chance to make millions playing ball.

[@thelodit1662]

Latrice Peters Academically? I'm not saying it's impossible, more like improbable. Unless you have his report card to show us.

[@xblfanatic360]

This is how your pops should be. Old school, tough love, but they believe in their kids 100%. I respect it

[@Ausnapify]

[@detectivehawk4976]

Lavar Ball is poppin off at the mouth which is not a good thing

[@Leoson80]

dude, EVERY player in the NBA was the best player in high school lol

[@gloshow4890]

He did win the Naismith Award though.

[@dshawnlamon3056]

[@vrodi9958]

[@djdarklyceum]

if the black community had more dads like this america would look like a much different place..

[@mnoell35]

djdarklyceum maybe this should start a movement in the black community

[@RayMagic12192]

the black community? lol are you black. they are fathers like him in the black community. stop being ignorant and genaralizing.

[@mnoell35]

Of course

[@edwardeagles76ersflyersphi18]

Some white people and Latinos dont have their dads around either

[@jordanwilliams1469]

@RayMagic12192 He said if we had MORE, he didn't say there aren't any. His comment is an undeniable fact bro, nothing ignorant about it.

[@aidan2788]

I don't know why I was hating on LaVar, the media makes him look bad, after hearing this interview he seems like a good father that's confident that his kids will achieve greatness! Much respect

[@Prospectone]

GOAT You messed up by hating in the first place. Don't be brainwashed so easily

[@Turk_2023]

I think a lot of people were reminded of Cam Newton`s scumbag father by this guy...Hope it is not the same.

[@fusuyballer]

Give God the glory!

[@marcusrock5355]

IssaGoat soundcloud.com/rockalien/lavar-ball

[@rumham7631]

I never hated Lavar but I've always thought he was crazy. That said tho he brought a huge buzz around his sons and made his whole family rich

[@ethanroberts9360]

Hearing this guy talk changes the entire impression the media is trying to put on him. This guy is honest, confident, and clearly a good father. Thumbs up from me for Lavar

[@becarefulwhatyoufish4764]

Media is always trying to destroy people. Seems to have no effect on LaVar though.

[@Bossrah]

Gotta admit he killed this interview

[@dacreativebrinson66]

Bossrah tore it downnnnn

[@afrofree4950]

Bossrah no lie. he came ready. #respect 💪💪

[@alecdavy8597]

I agree but I also wonder, y'all think those kids really don't feel pressure?

[@dszman013]

Bossrah Same here. I've hated this guy for the past week and even in the first minute of this vid but now I kind of like him.

[@Bossrah]

I think every highly rated player feels pressure somewhat

[@prophecy9521]

I respect this man. I wish more dads were this passionate and involved in their kids road to success.

[@LogicOverEverything]

This is what happens when the media meets a strong, black, positive father. Shannon couldn't do nothing but respect it.

[@nextgenwellness]

Thomas Dobbins facts

[@barringtonmorris90]

FACTS!

[@latricepeters9397]

Warriors still won't win yes it does !

[@LogicOverEverything]

Yeet M8 it is what it is. If you can't deal with it, that's your problem, g. Race is an issue that I didn't create, so I can't deny it's implication in situations like this one.

[@wendellkow7452]

Thomas Dobbins the conor McGregor of basketball

[@riddler2004]

to be fair hearing him talk. I kinda respect him a bit more.

[@balljefferson2021]

riddler2004 same, his dad seems cool

[@kennethbonney7638]

riddler2004 yeah I thought he was a loud mouth who was living his Hoop dreams through his sons, but he seems to be a good dad who just believes extremely in his boy's, I can't knock him, he could have three sons that might have ended up in a gang, in jail or dead do to Street violence, give the man his props for raising these young black men.

[@Pancho81010]

riddler2004 same here, a newfound respect for now

[@katfishbilly1380]

no doubt same here..

[@YaoSiabi]

I am torn when it comes to him. One part of me respects the unconditional faith he has in his kids, the other part wants him to still be a little more considerate and tone it down. But the respect carries the most weight. Imagine how much better the world would be if parents believed in their children this much.

[@jeffhardy6333]

Media makes him look like he's trying to take advantage of all the fame his sons are getting but in truth he's just a proud father.

[@MrOu83]

Marlon Ndoro - A bit overbearing imo. Dell Curry (Steph's dad) wasn't like this father.

[@tyler515752]

MrOu83 would you mind telling me what is the "correct" way to be a father of an all star child ?

[@vg666]

Marlon Ndoro what about him going against Charles Barkley today?

[@thuggajackson1512]

Marlon Ndoro On god

[@edwardbrown7280]

exactly @marlonndoro

[@Slimt7]

Watch him try to take Luke Walton's job as coach if Lakers draft Lonzo

[@martyvoyzey]

TCDrules he don't wanna coach lol he woulda done that in HS if he wanted to

[@MrOu83]

TCDrules - Lol. No, what's going to happen is if Lonzo does not live up to his father's lofty predictions, Lavar will blame everyone from the coach to his teammates, etc., for his son's lack of success.

[@Jsalcedo23]

MrOu83 doubt that. He's never complained about anything like that

[@simonsays7077]

LOL

jermaine jenkins Exactly and then they wonder why they fall off when it's time to perform in crunch time. He's building his sons up and there's nothing wrong with that.

[@Nico-zw9ud]

Dis is a good dad. Raised his sons well!

[@bbpdec92]

Gareth McGregor lol from what? a public view?

[@bo832]

Brandon Powell He's been in their lives from the beginning & has a son in college about to become a millionaire & 2 others about to receive a free education regardless of if they go Pro & I've only heard positive things about him from the Ball brothers sounds like a good father to me

[@wpbdog1625]

bo832 He knows what good is. He's just trolling. Judge the tree by the fruit.

[@MichaelJimenez416]

He's a little arrogant and hard nosed, but it cannot be denied that his sons are very successful.

[@RealDealHD]

I totally take back my judgments for his Dad before looking at this interview. ..He's simply just a "Proud Dad". Cant knock him. He has raised 3 good young men who happen to have a passion for the game and play at a high level. .. And he pushes them to be great..Parent do this all the time, he just happens to be black, direct and has a son that backs up his comments. ....curry comparison yeaah to early to say and far fetch..but outside of that you gotta love the support he gives his boys. .. His points on pressure really won me over.

[@wunanzeng7051]

I used to hate Lavar seeing him talking big on the news. But after actually heard him talk, He is a father being proud of his son. Ain't nothing wrong with that. It doesn't matter if he's right or wrong. You telling me KD's mama don't think KD is better than Lebron and all that?

[@vivianpangilinan9783]

You can praise your son to the highest level but not at the expense of other greats...he is arrogant... I think the proud father of their sons are dell curry and mycall thompson..they re very humble..

[@AuburnFanSince2010]

Lavar Ball reminds me of my father. Old school. Much respect.

[@TheKingofKings2272]

Everybody needs a Dad with Lavar Ball's mindset

[@marlonhall7861]

After hearing this man speak...I wish he was my dad

I think he meant Ayesha Curry.

[@Chubby3458]

Dimas Dimasalang 😆😆😂😂

[@overwhelmingtactician3011]

After seeing this ive misjudged Lavar he clearly seems like a great father who wants and expects nothing but greatness from his children. Outstanding parent i wish my dad pushed me to achieve my goals like that. Inspiration to dads and soon to be dads everywhere im rooting for the Ball family

[@keewaibk7947]

Overwhelming Tactician 💯

[@anthonyarchuleta8273]

Overwhelming Tactician exactly. I used to be passionate about basketball, and still am, but during middles school up to high school that's all I wanted to do. Then, my father never cared too much about me playing or ever went to my games so it killed my passion. Lavar seems like the father figure I wish I would've had growing up. The media makes him out to be somewhat the opppsite

[@hbk92701]

He is clearly that loudmouth father who wants the spotlight. He claims that greatness comes from setting these high goals and claims others don't get there because they don't do the same... so why didn't he accomplish anything before these kids? I get he seems like a good dad... but I am starting to feel more like he wants the spotlight and credit. My mom always said don't count your money before you earn it, big baller brand, saying he is better than Steph. Sounds like all he wants more than anything, is to be able to say, "I told you so."

[@dylanfrench5108]

Yeah but he is still delusional

[@davidfong7848]

"Perfect YOUR form and you good!" He's dropping knowledge and ppl are too insecure to hear it.

[@patindacrib]

If only we had more dad's like him living in Chicago.

[@anthonygonzalez8772]

I actually respect Lavar's way of thinking...#ClassicOldSchool

[@nextgenwellness]

Anthony Gonzalez facts

[@hopegaming867]

Agreed

[@Hamburger247]

I fux with Pops

[@thuggajackson1512]

[@Hamburger247]

She aborted you too but you survived which makes your a walking living abortion

[@Hamburger247]

Same bro. All I heard was that LaVar Ball was this and that, but really bro is just a real Man that groomed his 3 boys to be Men.

[@thediscoverystudio]

Skip asked LaVar about his basketball career thinking it would be mediocre like his LOL

[@Skantezz]

Andrew Hillman mediocre? That's a nice way of putting it:)

[@TetiLeki]

Andrew Hillman skips career was complete shit😂😂😂

[@dashottcalla]

Andrew Hillman lmfaoo..

[@trungasi]

Mediocre compared to who? Compared to Normal People or even athletes for that his career was great

[@PrimeCutGallery]

Someone please give this guy a tv show bruh

[@xalo5336]

bit cocky, but he a great father man

[@mrsupreme8996]

we need more black fathers like him.. i respect this man to fullest

[@mnoell35]

Mr Supreme big ups to Lavar for standing up for his sons.

[@jonrice94]

Mr Supreme yeah we need more father's stealing the spotlight, making ridiculous statements, being cocky and arrogant. this dude is a chump

[@Aih1616]

Jon Rice yup. To add we need more father that try to live on their kids life, try to suck as much $ possible from their success.

[@camarijaybooth]

did you not watch the interview? hes not like that. he has his own thing going on with BBB

[@russellwestbrook8747]

Fathers that push there sons to be athletes (Slaves)?

[@TheBigTerm]

Lavar is smarter than he'll ever get credit for

[@bar-bee-cue-chicken3549]

TheBigTerm Yup it's chess not checkers. Thus man has a plan.

[@brandonchristopher9657]

TheBigTerm Lavar is a great father. we should all hope that more father's are this involved in their kids life

[@PsychoValidation]

He is a good father, but that doesn't change the fact that he is a CLOWN.

[@Thenextdoorhyung]

I am awed simply by his way of talking about his sons. The confidence in him about his sons is just sky high, and by all means that's what I call a great dad. He gave confidence to his children since they were young, and because they were raised in such environment they are able to execute when they are old as well. NBA is a league that requires someone 'special' I like to say, and witnessing how their children play they are really something 'special'. And I can't find anyone, NO ONE, other than Lavar to be credited for that matter. Keep doing what you are doing Lavar, I and not only I but many have faiths in you and your family.

[@MrOu83]

Philip Jung - I bet Dell Curry did that (instilled confidence) to Steph as well, and look how that turned out. What Dell Curry didn't do is try to live vicariously through Steph. He did not make appearances on ESPN and other shows touting his son's greatness, proclaiming him to be better than superstars already playing in the league, even before his son put on an NBA uniform. In the immortal words of President Theodore Roosevelt: "Speak softly, and carry a big stick." Example: Kawhi Leonard

[@deniseclay2922]

Checkmate! ^^^

[@GG-dr9sc]

Problem is, none of his kids are 'something special' minus Lonzo, but Lonzo is about to be traded. Lavar simply can't take criticism, and it is shouldered by his kids, because he; pulls both kids out of school, sends them overseas to play in a country and a league none of them had heard of. He declines a shoe deal because its not enough money, and now his only talented son, Lonzo, is on his way out of LA.

[@alexfahey3181]

Hes a peice of trash thats why his kid wants to go back to high school... Cuse hes contolling tum... lonzo will never be any good

[@1472583699904322]

He's actually really smart and huge reason for his kids' success, but that doesn't change the fact that he's annoying.

Y'all are some punks. This is how dads should raise their kids. His dad is awesome

[@stayfly68]

Cj James exactly. lol and this title is dumb.it says that he doubled down but he still said his is going to be better than steph

[@stayfly68]

Brandon Martin and that's a fair opinion but I look at this as a father giving his son confidence.

[@stayfly68]

Brandon Martin lol that's not pressure. He explained what pressure was in the video

[@vg666]

[@michaelantonio44]

Robert Smith exactly. if he believes this about his children then you can just imagine what they believe in themselves. Are we raising boys to be men or the other way around out here.....

[@Devine3190]

His reasoning is trash, its not even reason, its pure biased, subjective emotional garbage.

[@mattr27]

Robert Smith Except Lonzo Ball is the most overrated prospect in the draft. Little defense, no mid range and if any GM drafts him over Josh Jackson they need to be fired

[@brudderstyles3479]

Damn , Is it really that big of a deal that a Father has the utmost confidence in his sons ability and backs them no matter what, and promotes his brand ?

[@adamleon9128]

Erick Marin no life trolls on the Internet

[@stevenweech8888]

There's having confidence in your child and then there's putting him out on a limb. For all intents and purposes Lonzo's expected to be a franchise changing player. Anything less and he's going to get killed for it not because of anything he said but because of his dad.

[@poppyguoppp904]

Steven Weech going into the draft is putting yourself on the limb his dad is giving him more exposure if that!

[@martinmai4955]

When he drew the comparison, he is disrespecting others.

[@estorvalenzuela8611]

because they didnt have a dad lol

[@PuertoRicanBoi127]

Seems like a great old school structured dad. Good for him. However, making claims like that, especially in basketball where the level of play heightens so much between college and pro... Talk to me when he's cutting and shooting over Kawhi. Jimmy Butler. Real lockdown defenders.

[@ProfTrolls]

PuertoRicanBoi127 When he says things like that, he is just trying to get publicity and get their names out there even more. He is not being serious when he says that.

[@bigtigga2007]

I can't wait to see his son in the NBA, players gone be waiting for him... 😂

[@kingdroopy2648]

Great father too bad america hates a good black dad

[@Shane-ox6re]

He is a good black dad because he has 3 kids that play basketball? maybe good dads aren't noticed because people like you think raising a good athlete makes someone a good parent foh

[@anthonyaquino123]

King Mic Lawry no one is hating on him... they're just simply wondering why he's going out saying that his son is better than a 2x MVP. Don't get me wrong I hate Curry but u can't just say ur son is better than someone that's somewhere that he's trying to get to. Lonzo could be the real deal but he also couldn't. No one is criticizing the way he's parenting his sons seem to be on a great path.

[@MurKJrps3]

King Mic Lawry what does race have to do with it? Plus you're saying only if your son is a basketball star makes you a great dad? So if my sons a doctor and I'm not on TV making asinine statements it means I'm not a good dad?

[@watchmanbaruch1207]

Shane thats not what he said

[@DrumJeter1985]

King Mic Lawry facts!!

[@readymixmac1657]

I love the confidence he have in his son

[@codydean672]

I can respect lavar as father now he needs to let his son play and advice him when needed to not run his career but other than that respect

[@jamesjamaica7189]

he is proud black father and i love it

[@pauljohn0001]

James Jamaica way to proud

[@jamaicagreen2986]

James Jamaica I agree bredda

[@donaldgriggs2816]

James Jamaica exactly bruh!

[@84WhoElse]

James Jamaica righhhhhhht they wanted to reduce him to a soft side black father! But he's definitely a strong black man/Father and no one can change it

[@TempeSoldier123]

Andrew Lee so he's a "strong black father" with a white wife lol. Boy y'all are hilarious.

[@jeromec1983]

WHATEVER HE DID AND IS DOING SEEMS TO BE WORKING. I COULD ONLY HOPE TO HAVE ALL 3 OF MY KIDS SUCCESSFUL IN THEIR GOALS. GOOD JOB BROTHER.

[@kingchad333]

Jerome Carson Exactly, kind of reminds me of Venus and Serena's pops.

[@danielS0nS0n]

This dude commands respect in the room, you can feel it. He's straight forward and that kind of attitude builds hard working, dedicated sons which is what we're seeing with the ball brothers.

[@chazzdposh]

Gotta say, I used to seriously doubt this guys motive when it came to praising his son. I used to think he was riding his sons talent to promote himself, but this interview makes me thinks he just wants the best for his kids. A great example of a african american dad that is so needed in this day and age.

[@chadmilligan7497]

Yeah just claiming his kids are the best basketball players and they haven’t done nothing yet. Putting a lot of pressure on his kids and going to cause problems with Lebron on his team.

[@hughhoney2345]

Stop making Mr. Poatato Ball famous smh he speak nothing but opinions with nothing to support them

[@theicon145]

James Morales He prepared them by giving them the tools of work ethic and good fatherly advice

[@davidm3954]

James Morales so does Skip Bayless, but they pay him for it

[@hughhoney2345]

David M true but skip is funny to watch basking in his ignorance, Ball is just annoying he trying to live his unsuccessful life through his sons rather than letting them be they own man

[@hughhoney2345]

theicon145 saying my son is better than curry isn't advice lol

[@biracialharambe4462]

Maybe seth curry but not Steph curry 😂😂😂😂

[@poker_18rs92]

I like what he said about "You always want to be in a place where you still want to be there, if everything's not going well" That is very true...... I hope Lonzo goes to the Lakers #1 overall.

Conor Mcgregor mentality. Creating the law of attraction since his kids were born. Things will be good for them

[@dudewat212]

Augusto Manzali .... Never thought of it like that.

[@ryantitsworth]

Augusto Manzali this guy is not comparable to Conor mcgregor. This dude is for sure a publicity stunt

[@olivermoody21413]

Augusto Manzali .....and they lost possibilty for the top 3 shoe deals

[@Insertnamehere287]

Yeet M8 Conor is just another hype machine, he lost to Nate flipping Diaz for gods sake.

[@georgetravos1918]

Augusto Manzali it's like u read my mind when u have talent or have created somesort of talent and have a mindset like McGregors only good tings will come

[@ifeellikeyeezus8525]

There's a difference between being a good father and making ignorant remarks. Curry would cook this little boy. 😂

imagine if LeBron had a father like this....he may have surpassed Jordan.....having that proud father pushed guys like mj kobe wade curry but LeBron sadly didn't have that

[@hinoswane3243]

This guy is an example of what a father should be.

[@TheLegendaryLinx]

Father seems to be a cool guy, but why add more pressure? Let your sons game speak for itself. Your son still has a long way to go, he may appear great now, and anything can change that next year. Now he under the limelight people will be quick to shoot him down and destroy your statement.

[@austinaustin140]

Venus and Serena's dad used to say the EXACT same thing. Raise your life thinking greatness and keep them comparing their talents to the greats. Why waste time comparing yourself versus average? There's no award for being above average.

[@MsToca]

Austin Austin I agree 200% with your comment. His belief will transfer on to them. You've got to raise them to be the best at whatever they do. Serena and Venus' dad had so many media folks calling him crazy but he knew his daughters' talent and work ethic. He Ended up being 300% right. As long as they keep working hard, being disciplined and perfecting their craft they'll be great too. At anything in life.

[@jonathanchung5161]

Rafa Nadal tells himself he is an average guy and that he is not special because it motivates him to keep working hard and rising above the competition. If you tell yourself that you are the best, you lose motivation to keep improving. As you are improving, there is always going to be a player better than you(except when u are lebron of course), I dont get why you would compare yourself to anyone, just focus on your own game and improvement and be the best u can be.

[@MrOu83]

Austin Austin - Richard Williams did not come out of the gate saying Venus and Serena were already better than the greats who were playing the game before they even turned pro. He correctly predicted that they could become great players. He predicted that Serena would become the better of the two sisters. Although he sometimes said some unsavory things about the people who unfairly criticized them, he still allowed them to be adults. I see Mr. Ball being an overbearing control freak well into Lonzo's adulthood ( provided Lonzo doesn't put a stop to it).

[@rickflair6250]

Great interview!!!!!!

[@taehead5927]

this is the best interview I've ever seen on undisputed salute the BALL

[@CBrown]

I'm largely in a wait-and-see type of mode. How well you perform in high school and college doesn't always correlate to how well you will do in the NBA because you're largely playing against people who weren't close to good enough to make it to the NBA. Once you make that leap, the competition level dials up quicker than boss fights in a Souls game. Not every player makes that transition the way LeBron or Davis have. Sometimes they look like Curry where he's good but takes a while to turn into something great. Sometimes they look like Kwame Brown. Right now the hype is for scouts, coaches, and GMs. Fans can just chill.

[@FallacyUnknown]

[@ea119]

guys who look good in college and high school but struggle in the nba are usually guys who are just nba athletes but arent quite fundamentally sound, skilled, and high iq players. lonzo is those things first before his athleticism shows. thats why theres so much hype behind him. hes ready.

[@CBrown]

E money Sounds like "wait and see" material to me.

[@christophercomitini8619]

I'd love to see all the haters talk smack to this guy's face he'll make people bow down he's from LA South Central he knows real pressure

People can't believe in there own son. To be clear his son does has a chance to be better than curry.

[@KP-zo2gj]

Pilot Tone underwhelming cause he's had a couple of bad series? Lebron has had the worst finals appearance by a superstar in history lol steph is steph..he didn't say he could be better he said he's already better than curry

[@AnthonyVercetti]

Dr.CookiesNeedLoveLikeEverthingDoes Lol how is not the best player in college? He putting up 15 points, 6 rebounds and leads the NCAA in assist.

[@AnthonyVercetti]

Kwame Apea curry was the 5 best two on the court in 2 straight finals and say I'm lying?

[@AnthonyVercetti]

Dr.CookiesNeedLoveLikeEverthingDoes and that players on a losing team. Lonzo is making big shots and leading his teams to wins. Am I wrong?

[@shermarkijames]

Pilot Tone don't even know if he will be a good rookie yet lool yall need to calm downz

[@mommaraeholmes4562]

I love Mr. Ball. I like how he answer all his questions truthfully and accurate with no hesitation. He is a good father to his boys. He also got skip, Shannon, and oh girl together, especially skip with the "that is how yall raise yall kids," love it so much!

[@seanb5545]

I love how he said when you win point the finger at everyone else but when you loose blame yourself. Most players do the opposite.

[@pyroglyphicsglass]

so refreshing to hear a man speak about raising solid men with proper priorities about entertainment and real pressure

[@HaitianLevi1804]

I love this Dad

[@bryanpeezy1]

This guy can talk, all the hate can stop now. If you still don't get it, it just goes to show how immature people think. You watch this as an adult and go "wow" this guy is speaking truth.

[@ianthompson1093]

Bryan Melchor Pepito and just because we don't agree it's not hating. He's not stating facts he's stating his opinion on what his kids potential is. We just happen to to think he's annoying that's all

[@MadaraUchiaAKASamiir]

[@luisdayvid]

[@markquelsmith9326]

[@YoungDen]

Markquel Smith - You acting like he said MJ.. His sons know they gotta play big like they always.

[@Bannedconfidential]

Young Den he did say somebody has to be better than MJ, why not his sons?

[@PettyGG]

BannedOnTV cuz they are nowhere near him thats why

[@moneyway8178]

petty G everyone is never gonna be MJ knowing damn well anybody could be good or better than mj

[@usiega]

I dont care what no one says. This is a cool dad. This is what is missing in society today.

[@luumaven]

Listening to him talk, I respect him a whole lot more. Seems like a great dad with the upmost confidence in his kids. Nothing wrong with that.

[@LIONKING1103]

beautiful spirit as there aren't many fathers that have the time nor patience to do what he does. 🖤🖤🖤👊🏿

[@michaelantonio44]

and thats why his sons are gonna be some of the best ball players to ever play the game. look what he instills in them. what cant you do when you got a father like this in yo corner.

[@lukethepuke100]

I legit love this dude. What a man - he just calls it like it is!

[@magnusmagnusson146]

The smartest thing that this man said is that "It's entertainment." It ain't a matter of life and death. It's a game at the end of the day and a basketball player wouldn't be famous (or any sport player for that matter) if it wasn't for the people paying for the entertainment. Now as far as his son being better than Steph Curry, I'm not agreeing with any of those assertions. lol
