He's built a business out of the possibility of his sons being good at basketball and the shock factor.
I'd say Lonzo Ball at this stage of his career with the available exposure at the time etc is the most well publicised athlete in modern NBA history.
LeBron might be the only one but I'd even question that because LeBron missed the college exposure.
The hype created around him is unbelievable. The latest is LaVar has suggested that the Lakers coaches are too soft on Lonzo. It's the soap opera of the NBA.

Vet arrived today at my home 12.30. Lady and a young girl. very very nice and understanding. Freckles didnt even get up off floor , my mother said she fell twice today while walking about house. Vet copped immediately all her muscles were gone in back legs. rubbed her and chatted away . Then explained she was going to sedate her would take ten mins . I was very upset at this point , the ten mins seemed like ages , she deffo fought it. She said she would leave me alone to have time with her to say goodbye. I couldnt do anymore told her to do it .
Then vet shaved freckles leg and put a line thing in for the inevitable needle and told me it was more or less immediate, I watched her stomach rise up and down for maybe one min and that was it. we wrapped her up snugly and she took her away in the quilt she was lying in to be be cremated .
3.10 pm Mia text me from school "what did vet say" as I had told her I needed vet to call that morning
I had to race home barely made it as was doing a sale, just saw her geting off the bus and she got into car loudly laughing that the bus driver was singing Ed sheeran and he was so funny and came bounding in door about her having to make a speech in front of school. She was in flying form. Then said
"what did vet say mammy" I wasnt even looking at her. Lump in my throat and I couldnt say it. " where is freckles "she said . at this point I just had tears streaming down my face, so my mother said " Mia, Freckles was very very sick today , the vet had to put her to sleep "
omg it was awful I have never heard Mia cry so hard or as long as she did , she sat on my lap and cried and cried into me. broke my heart. Had a brief chat I had to go back to work for maybe an hour and half
brought her home a few goodies and she was very down in herself . I went to bed for over an hour at 6 pm as I was just drained and at 7.30 Mia climbed in and we just chatted about freckles , she asked me how it was done and I told her . I also asked would she have liked to be there , she said no Mammy I wouldnt like to see that , so I am so happy I made the right choice. I said Freckles had a great life nearly 16! but unlike us she cant talk and was in terrible pain and it was so unfair to have her that way . she not too bad now , maybe every 30 mins just walks up and puts her arms around me for a long hug.
My co worker picked up this jar for me today, such lovely thought , and I got pics printed
and told mia she would always have it. she started writing a few bits and bobs in it there 30 mins ago .
so thats it , horrible day but such is life . RIP Freckles

Originally posted by dobby View PostWatched it this week thinking the exact same as yourself. Episodes 1, 2 & 3 were great, full of action and I thought this is pretty cool. Then episodes 4 to 8 are just the exact same things in different locations around LA. They tried to add some drama where one team tried to poach a guy off another team, set up a meeting between the 3 bosses in a car park which ended up with one telling the other to fuck off and one team had a whinge about how the other do things.
4 or 5 episodes would have been perfect. Probably worth a watch if you're bored or hungover some day
They all seem to have a bit of a warped justification system for doing what they do though. Would be refreshing to see one of them admit they're a mercenary or adrenaline junkie instead of fooling themselves that they're not scum and providing a positive service.Profit before people.

That's actually insane on many levels.
Originally posted by brady23 View PostThe whole Ball family is a major talking point in the NBA all season, primarily because of LaVar touting his son Lonzo as the next big thing, 500$ self made shoes and alike. He's claimed he himself would beat Jordan 1vs1 after averaging 2 points a game in his own college career.
Lonzo got drafted by the Lakers no2 after going to UCLA and has been somewhat underwhelming so far given the hype.
LiAngelo has committed to UCLA and LaMelo is planning on going there too. He's basically trying to build a dynasty. LiAngelo probably won't be a 1st round pick but hype may get him to the NBA. LaMelo will, he's scored 80 points in a high school game so he should have the talent.
I'm surprised he resisted the temptation to call one of the lads LaBasket Ball

Running my first ever 5k tomorrow. What's a relastic target for an over weight injury prone gentleman?

Haven't done anything in the last 4 weeks due to an ankle injury.
Anything sub 30 I'd be over the moon but will say 32. Thoughts?
Did the run in the dark 5k which started at custom house and ened up the opposite end at City Quay. Was a very cold night and the standing around wasn't ideal but took part in the warm up and off we went a few minutes late.
Took on the advice here and just took a steady pace throughout, didn't have to stop once which suprised me a lot.
I enjoyed the experience in that shit weather so I can see how you would get into it.

Godless is really awesome, much better than I was expecting,. Yes it is a slow paced show but it is well crafted. Could easily be best show of the year. Not one for bing watching but savouring. Jack O Connell is really good.No beast so fierce but knows some touch of pity, but I know none, therefore am no beast.
