LaVar Ball Sparks Controversy Speaking on Kyrie's Deceased Mom
Once more, LaVar Ball's contentious remarks have come into the spotlight, as he reaffirmed his comments about Kyrie Irving's deceased mother. The discourse between them started when Kyrie Irving voiced his disapproval of LaVar Ball's parenting approach, advocating for Ball to permit his sons, notably Lonzo, to carve their own paths. In reaction, LaVar Ball opted to reignite the feud by making a reference to Kyrie's late mother.
"I'm not talking about his mom. I'm just saying, if you don't have two parents there, I don't know if they might get sick or got killed or whatever. But I'm saying you're not advanced enough in life to say, LaVar, just let Lonzo be. Lonzo."
Ball's unwavering stance on this matter highlights his readiness to embrace conflicts, even when they touch upon profoundly personal and delicate matters. He believes that Kyrie isn't in the position to offer guidance and should instead direct his attention to his own family, which includes the daughter he previously acknowledged.
The feud between LaVar Ball and Kyrie Irving stands as a testament to the power of words and the potential repercussions when boundaries are overstepped. Although athletes frequently participate in passionate discussions and trash talk, there are certain lines that shouldn't be crossed, which definitely include talking about a person's family and speaking on tragic events.
LaVar Still Believes he can Beat the GOAT 1-on-1
LaVar revisited a controversial statement where he claimed that he could beat Michael Jordan in a 1-on-1 basketball game in an interview with VladTV. His reasons were that his size, strength, and speed would be too much to handle for Jordan. This is just one of many outlandish statements that have made him such a divisive figure.
For those who may not be aware, LaVar did have a brief college basketball career. He initially played at West Los Angeles College, where he had one standout performance, scoring 33 points and grabbing 18 rebounds in a game against Porterville College. He later transferred to Washington State, where he held the starting forward position. He left a lot to be desired, averaging 2.2 points and 2.3 rebounds. He also only shot 40.4% from the field and a mere 45% from the free-throw line. This would mark the end of his playing career.
LaVar Ball was Never a Member of any Gangs
Despite growing up in an area renowned for its elevated crime rates and widespread gang violence, LaVar rejected any involvement in gangs. He credits this decision to the unwavering support of his close-knit family, instilled with strong values. Ball emphasized the role of his family, explaining that he never felt compelled to seek validation or a sense of belonging through gang affiliations, as his ultimate "gang" was the one he had at home.
This close bond with his family is perhaps the reason he maintains exceptionally strong connections with his children. He is determined to guide them towards pursuing their dreams, maintaining focus, and steering clear of any trouble.
