Ball taking UCLA all the way TBH.
I hope not. his dad is annoying as hell. I am rooting against them because of his dad lol
Lavar was running his mouth about how he's setting his kids up better than Lebron James kids.
Bron tweeted for him to keep his kids and his family out of his mouth.
He was pissed.
I really want to say it makes me wanna see his kids fail
"On the show, they asked me do I think anybody is good as far as superstars' kids. I gave my answer, which was, 'No, I don't think they are.' I think they're good at 12 years old doing whatever they're doing, but they're never going to be as good as the superstars' parents on the fact that I don't know anybody who was a superstar and their kid was really, really good," Ball told BET.com. "I'm not saying their kids are bad, but their kids are not going to be as good as them because I haven't seen it. Until I see it, I'm going to say no."
He added, "So, for LeBron, for him to get touchy because I said that, that's on him. He warned me? Can't nobody warn me for nothing! I'm a grown-*** man! I'll say what I want about anybody. That's where it stands. If he's touchy on that, talking about he gave me a warning...can't nobody warn me! I say what I want."
That being said, Ball made it clear that he doesn't have any personal ill will towards LeBron nor his sons and that he's merely sticking to his beliefs.
"It's no derogatory comment towards his sons or him," Ball continued. "He's talking about 'keep my family out of your mouth.' I'm not talking about your family. I'm responding to the question that somebody said to me and I'm talking about the feeling that I have that I don't think superstars' kids — I'm not saying they're not good kids — I just don't see them being as good as what their parents are."
LaVar's doing what he does best to hype and draw attention to his kids and his 'brand'. It's America, it's a free country. He's simply operating within the boundary set for him. I just don't like the BBB ('Big Baller Brand') though, I just don't think it's cool enough a logo, and it's tied too much to how his boys will turn out as pros. He should have gone more generic (and have his boys as the main stars of that brand.
Anyway his ruthless pursuit of success reminds me a little of how PKM does business, 'Go Hard or Go Home', the only difference is how they each go about doing/achieving it.
He's also speaking things into existence. Which is something that I've found seems to bother people terribly and often induces a negative response, especially when said task/goal is one the listener doesn't feel they're capable of accomplishing themselves... that seems to increase the likelihood of a negative response tenfold.
He has definitely taken the 'no publicity is bad publicity' thing to heart... haha... whether or not that's true in his case remains to be seen. He got I think a 10 minute segment on ESPN's SportsNation the other day because he said he's better than Barkley?
I mean that in itself is GOLD for his BBB brand in terms of getting it out there & recognized. But whether or not people would actually buy it is another story.
It's California bruh.. There's like 30MM people there.. In big markets with that kinda exposure it's easy pickins.
Ludacris sold 50,000 copies of his debut album Incognegro out of the trunk in his car, not Cali, but a smaller market in ATL..

People relate to their favorite basketball players, UCLA fans and such.. all those people get sucked in, young impressionable minds included. Then there's the hopeful Lakers fans that are tanking.. It's all timed very well for the Balls. It's a super easy sell.. it's not like trying to get people to buy your mixtape out the trunk of the car either (Luda used his voice on the radio to promote it, wasn't just ....... word of mouf)
What's Ludacris doing nowadays anyway? Is he still putting out mixtapes? Last I saw him he got famous on the back of the Fast & Furious success.
Funny.
I'm sitting 100 percentile and peanut butter gives me no props.. don't need it, but.. yeah.
So I don't get out you're in the 100th percentile but in 30,000th (or so) place?
Funny.
