I guarantee that most people saying that he's a bad father because he took his son away from a good education haven't even been through college. In the real world education doesn't matter. It all about knowing what you want to do, knowing how to get there, and having the right connections. If you want to become a doctor, sure education is important, but if you want to become a basketball player it's not.

[@combatcook4783]

TheVman528 a good education is only good for a b ball player after he can't play anymore just ask Allen Iversin

[@Kareem-cx4fi]

TheVman528 if you want to play professionally, you have to be good. He was a bench Player, so he isn't that good and highly unlikely to make even the the NBA D/G league. Basketball is far from a guaranteed future, if he wants to make a living playing ball. Out of all the Ball kids, he needs the education most.

[@bolee3382]

TheVman528 basketball players need to be smart even if what they learning is not important it at least always keeps the mind thinking and exercising, the ones with the least brain activity are the ones that are busts.

When it comes to Lavar Ball, I swear to you, I'm just speechless.

[@wstephen]

LiAngelo a 1 and done at UCLA? More like a 1 and done at basketball for life. He ain’t got NBA level talent.

[@healfromthegroundup]

Stephen Wong you hating because you believe you are failure

[@magicmc23]

Siah El both you and steve wong are haters. Just read both of your comments. Classless, disrespectful, evil, sad. Truly sad.

[@juice.2022]

Stephen Wong if he improves his iq I believe he can go in the late 2nd round

[@arifjay_98]

Siah El 😂😂😂😂

[@prophecy9521]

He plays like Kevin Love, but at only 6''5.

[@tonyjones3275]

Bad move, and I been supporting the whole Ball movement from the beginning. Gelo can easily walk on to Loyola Marymount. It's still a D1 school, and he'd be down the street from Lonzo. I hope this all works out.

[@chickinbobswag]

I wonder what those “other things” are

[@epicmannxx2205]

if that were my mom she would have grounded me for life and only make me read books for life

[@marting6850]

you guys can not deny the hustle

[@DarkMojoYT]

People go to jail all the time they act like they are so above it, even though you committed grand theft.

[@PsylentSir]

*Imagine that even famous players shoplift, that is disturbing knowing what this man can do and what he stole before.*

[@HotRed00]

He not stealing nothing no more

[@SF-sl7fi]

Oh the horror! A shoplifter! What an animal he is..

[@milkboccle]

Love the way he taught his kid the meaning of taking responsibility for his actions right there....oh wait

[@dabbydabby6484]

Today's "L" iAngelo Ba"LL"

[@Ro1Up]

Triple L's

[@briteslider]

This dude was a bench player for UCLA, please move on and talk about someone or something more important.

[@newmediaefc3635]

Antonio Lewis WHO SOMEONE LIKE YOU ANTONIO LEWIS.WE SHOULD MOVE ON AND TALK ABOUT U..HOMIE WHO ARE U

[@chasbuckner104]

Antonio Lewis he’s a bench player for UCLA mean while your talking but I don’t think you have any d1 scholar ships 😂

[@kingxoriginal9376]

Now LaVar has taken him out of school and wants to work with him to improve his weaknesses and you're still not satisfied.

[@briteslider]

Chas Buckner I have something he will never have; my associates and bachelor degree. Try again

[@briteslider]

Erno Xoriginal Satisfied? lmao

[@Bebornagain12345]

2:33 wow...well he spoke that into existence give the man some credit

[@ianepperson5049]

[@PAC-dw2rv]

“500 bucks a pop” 😂😂

[@rowboyto156]

Wtf $500.00 basketball shoes for a non nba player. Sure bud, everyone is gonna want that gelo shoe

[@seif.boughanmi8956]

You have no idea how dumb the people in the US can be , lavar knows it and he's taking a shot and will probably land it

[@Necrobutcher82]

Don't underestimate the stupid!!LaVar sure hasn't and it has paid off for him.

[@thisguy976]

u mother pancit! Americans (not all) are dumb.

[@robertduane7723]

Gelo gunna get me mine!

[@ashley942]

He made a mistake and it comes with consequences period. he’s too idiotic to not accept the consequences so he has to drop out of school lmao ball is more important than your education/future apparently

[@bellynoo]

Ball is his future... He was a one-and-done player so he wouldn’t even had finished college... 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@mattn5899]

He’s not good enough to be one and done.

[@perre6385]

Why Gelo looking like if he say one bad line he gonna get dishonored by his dad? 😂😂

[@sofiandpheobe8589]

he spent 1.5 days in jail and his dad says he has served his punishment and enough is enough. Ive stolen and been caught in my much younger years and my criminal punishment was much worse and I am glad it was. Dad quit coddling the boy. He made a mistake, let him deal with it and move on. He is not an unredemable or terrible person because of his mistake but take ur consequences like a man. Dad is a hindrince and this is a microcosm of a problem in the USA, which is lack of discipline within our youth.

[@jamesdonahue9512]

He already served his punishment. The punishment was 1.5 days in jail. They let him go before trump even said a word. This is what's wrong with America. People seem to think they know everything.

[@TheBubblyBartender]

But he served his time. You feel he needs more punishment? Why?

[@eutimiocastillo4725]

Erik Totally

[@hvnterLV]

Who asked for your life story

[@SlowJamz98]

Erik how was life after you were caught though? did you have problems finding jobs?

[@dr.pikachu2980]

This seems so forced. Real question is why play for the NBA, when you can be the CEO of BBB? Gelo is a genius

[@devinmccurry1160]

Dr.Pikachu he hasent shown any intelligents so far

[@dramaskrybe]

"Jail in China was Horrible." Is that specific to China? I defy anyone involved with this story - audience and producers alike - to spend a night in any jail, and tell us it wasn't horrible. While I've got you, I wanna pitch a headline: "Sky is blue." What do you think? Get at me. I've got a million stories just like it.

[@latable558]

he answered the question he was asked in a way that makes sense?

[@iluvcakes19]

dramaskrybe how does that lessen the validity of what he said?

[@jeffgelin7765]

Look up being incarcerated in Finland

[@BirdRacer]

lmao

[@andyzheng2893]

I know he likes to be in the US jail better cuz U.S. jails are all paradise 😂

[@shomoy7396]

“They gonna all be on the lakers “ insert kawahi laugh *

[@zebshibu6023]

Their father might just ruin their life

[@Mickyropa11]

I think LiAngelo is special needs

[@chasbuckner104]

Micky why are you hating what do you get from it ?

[@Colonelboereieney]

Dude is 19 and be stealin

[@kaleenmar53]

if you have decent IQ, he wasnt hating he was only observant.. kids nowadays cant even think anymore

[@mmsmith3341]

He has a 4.0 gpa

[@johnsuttoniiijs]

mm smith of course he does lmfao...

[@angiemaq]

The fact that this kid went and stole something without any thought until it was too late says a lot about him. I knew the suspension was not going to be the whole season but I guess LaVar being who he is couldn't make his son just try again next season was never a consideration. These poor kids. Welp this way they can all be together for Christmas.

[@morrisdavidmullings9833]

That's what's call being a father

[@bondcast3630]

Shannon Sharpe still waiting for his shoes 😂

[@Camilo-gq8ko]

@1:03 he said see ment 😂

[@POWERMINDS747]

I would never spend $500.00 for his shoes!

[@devinmccurry1160]

JohnnyClock not for any shoe lol

[@justanotheruser03]

$500 for his shoes? What a steal!!!... not!

[@Deme_ttu]

Evangelou Refundo i see what u did there lol

[@mikemorris6547]

$500 for his sneakers?! This man doesn't even play ball! I can't see people paying that much for a shoe of a guy that was on a college basketball team and he was the back up to the back up. He should do $200. Then compared to his brothers shoes, you could say his is a steal lol.

[@joeyell8274]

i don’t have a fall back plan because that means i’m going 80% this way and 20% that way.... .. that’s actually not a bad idea

[@lowkeyIbes]

“I AINT GOT NO FALLBACK PLAN” Gotta respect that. 💪🏿💯

[@Superduperreverb]

Going to the NBA? He would've been a marginal player at best at UCLA.

[@Krq11]

Gelo just called him self a kid😂😂😂.

[@jram2663]

YOU LIVE & YOU LEARN. I DON’T UNDERSTAND WHY THAT’S HARD FOR OTHERS TO COMPREHEND!
