What are your thoughts on the Ball brothers playing in Lithuania?
It's a good idea because they get experience playing professional ball. They are not NBA level players, but neither is college or high school.
They do speak English in Lithuania, unlike how American people don't speak any other language than their first language. Lithuanian NBA player Jonas Valanciunas said that the language barrier would be "no problem at all" for the Ball brothers because everyone in Lithuania speaks English, particularly the younger generation.
Yildirim Yayla exactly. Im Lithuanian myself and the statement about people not talking English over here is the biggest pile of bs I've ever heard. Not at all surprising to hear such things from Americans tho, they tend to live and stay in their own little box
Don't they lose all college eligibility, this is terrible particularly for youngest, he should have left them in UCLA and hs
I love Shannon but i was cringing so hard throughout the vid about us not talking English etc.
Shannon killin it again with them grandma quotes😂😂
Yet he's comparing NBA to Football pros. It's a reason you can go from high school to nba in basketball and not football.
Kim Powilleit he must have had some wise grandparents or something he never runs out of quotes lol
Tic Tacs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Allahja Flowers exactly, that's why there's only a handful of guys who have done it, LeBron, Kobe, KG. (unfortunately Andrew Bynum as well, but he was good before he went to Philly).
like he do
Gonna last as long as a tic tac in the mouth of a whale. Shanon needs to release a book
kefkapalazzo1 what time
The Ball Family 30 For 30 will be... EPIC!!!
MakeufamousNDZ uh huh
No stop supporting these clowns they are going to end up being the sport Kardashians
Except somehow with even less talent
@Oscar Meza ...I'm not supporting them. Have you ever seen a 30 for 30 documentary? I'm talking about the story of their lives. It's full of drama... Relax Bro!
I anticipate 1 out of the 3 committing suicide by then, the other turning into a drug addict and Lonzo becoming a serial killer, starting with his overbearing father.
Shannon Sharpe is the Plato, of sports media, with all of his sayings and philosophical musings.
John Rances lol, yes, he is.
John Rances ya I could totally see Plato saying “ how long wud a tic tac last in da mouf of a whale..? Not tha lonng...”
🤯mindblown! Such a philosophical statement I just can’t even wrap my head around it...🤯
When it comes to sport journalism, the name your looking for is Hunter Thompson
The Big Baltic Brand lol
Underrated comment
Big Balkan Brand
Griffin Fuller Balkan?
HA!! Good one dude.
W
Wait? People don't realize the only reason the Lithuanian club signed them is for advertising purposes, nothing else. They literally don't train because they don't have enough funds lmao
you are wrong about training since that team trains 2 times a day
/watch?v=4dxoF04U2XQ 0:50 nuf said
and you're probably refering to the first team, let me remind you that they are playing for the development team.
False facts you have ,that team has enough money to train twice a day believe it i know :)
Tomas Sutkevicius don't respond to an idiot . What professional sport team doesn't train
the next time that i run across sterling (shannons older brother), im going to ask him about all of these sayings that shannon is always ascribing to their grandmothet.
Gregory Tyse yes sir and post a video
Best NFL Players in the History
1: Sean Lee
2: *D A K*
3-7: N/A
8: Tom Brady
9-57: N/A
58: Lonzo Ball
59: Everyone Else
152: LeShannon Sharpe
Don't forget zeek lol then kawii Leonard
Vedant Patel hellooooo?!? Do people just forget about the all time GOAT? Where’s Mark Sanchez in your lineup?
Vedant Patel what about Ray Allen's 3 point shot that saved LeBron's career
Vedant Patel oh man i need to tell someone about this thread...
"They don't speak English"...c'mon Skip
Tramain Bacchus SKIIIIIIIIIIIILP!
English is probably 3rd/4th language spoken
English is 2nd language for everybody who is under 25-30 years old; they speak english very good
probably better than you
Tramain Bacchus the head coach doesn't speak English.
LaVar Ball is secretly Lithuanian
Judge Cooler your profile pic is deceptive, pretty dope
Judge Cooler yeah plot twist
Barnes Douglass thanks
Tattle Boad actually it's him and Vince LaSalle
Yo 333 it would explain the capital L names in the family
Lol. Lithuania isn't some third world village. They have a thriving basketball program and they speak English. This is why other countries look down on Americans. They don't know anything
Super. You are right.
That’s the reason why the USA is the laughing stock of the world. I just laugh when these people think USA is everything lol what a joke 😴
Pedro Roman better than your country
Ian White it’s not third world country. But it’s certainly different compared the life they were living in California.
Nani ? Nice joke
Shannon Sharpe is the best!! "This is gonna last like a tic tac on a whales mouth" Genius lol
kingwest342003 he style that joke...from s female comedian adle givenis...i think it's her name😂
I'm Secretly Lithuanian.
Lavar Ball we knew😂
You obviously stupid too
Julian Vitug stay in yo lane.
Lavar Ball what does BBB in Lithuanian look like?
Anthony Lopez. "Didžiųjų Kašerių Markė" :))
Shannon.....” I need neck bones”............ boooooooy Shannon keep it REAL.
Shannon the goat
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Shannon: DID THEY STEAL THE LAMBOS!!!?
Sadge11 skip going in 🤣😂😅
Michael Duncan Shannon is the black guy
You right, a typo lol 😂
man I died
Yeah the Winter Olympics in Sarajevo of 1984 is a great reference Skip LOL
vr120 best comment lmao
Haha. He obviously hasn't left US since then.
Whuut?
These folks are arguing from ignorance.
Here are the merits:
1) Playing against seasoned pros is better than playing against age group competition in high school or college
2) They get to learn their real strengths and weaknesses in a competitive context and can improve enough to be better than college draft picks of the same age
3) They’re actually earning money versus being on “scholarship” while the school rakes in millions off their work
4) Being in a different country will give them a different perspective on life and a different way of playing the game
5) Being in a less glamorous location keeps them out of the spotlight and they can focus 100% on their craft.
In my opinion, Lavar Ball has made a great decision by putting these kids on a road less traveled.
Ozed Nwana the problem with your statement which makes sense if this was grown men in Spain or France, but these are grown men in a diminished league in Lithuania. This is one of their worst leagues meaning they aren't playing no one so their development will be hindered.
Ozed Nwana I agree ! What you say makes sense !
davidcici11Evolution gotta get their skills up before they can really play over there.
Ozed Nwana a road to destruction I won't really surprise me if they both commit suicide to escape their over bearing father
Ozed Nwana. I wish i could like this more than once
Skip, the Olympics in Sarajevo was in 1984. The world has changed dramatically since then. God the amount of ignorance and arrogance in this video is astounding.
Yes they will be successful because liangelo and lamelo will STEAL the show
I see what you did there 😂
Bet Lavars antics will on their nerves over there and they get into a fight or get kicked off the team
Johnny pierre lmfaooooo
Johnny pierre Hilarious!!!
Oscar Meza lavar won't pull that mess over there, like he does here , they will shoot him or throw him in prison and he knows that,
They should add this Lithuanian team to 2k
They talking like Lithuania is on the other side of the sun smh
The big Man Compared to their upbringing, it might as well be but I hope it does them good . . . Eastern european discipline
+Daimion Moodley yeh it will be tough but skip saying do they even get phone signal shows that stereo type that Americans don't know want happens outside of their country
The big Man That is stupid
Eastern European? You mean Northern😂
Playing pro players is way better than high schoolers who can’t make left hand layups
Yeet
So Fresh So Real still way better than highschool
Lol you don’t watch d1 basketball lol
l lowkey.great l
Varsity is tough. Ask Skip, he only averaged like 1.2ppg
carlos flores I mean for melo , this post isn’t for gelo😂 why u think I said High schoolers
Just to make things clear. We speak english here in Europe.
Lavar trying to bring euroleague teams back to NBA 2k ...
They are not going to play in the euroleague
Nobody played with those 💀
JakobFaberBand great point 🤔 freaking genius now that you made sense of it.
The Great Rudini fym the Barcelona team was a W and that dude Navarro, a better shooter than curry in 2k14 😂
CHR_15 I was too busy cheesing with Rudy in 2k14 35+ every game lmfaooo
Non English speaking, cuisine questionable, colder than a witches...These young men are in for a rude awakening.
Cmon, its just Shannon Sharpe being ignorant - Lithuanians, especially those under the age of 30, speak better English than most other European countries - its the bigger European countries, like Poland or France, who think they are the center of the world and dont need to learn other languages. The average person in Lithuania is fluent in three languages - and the English speakers in Lithuania probably have better English grammar than the Ball kids!=) Second of all - Lithuania has every single kind of cuisine available - its not some third world country! So the Ball's will be able to eat their fried chicken, burgers and pizzas - no problem! But yes, it is cold as hell!=)
deep0house Poland definitely does not see themselves as the center of the world
deep0house Your comment needs to be seen.
Ignorance is cancer.
Peaceful Journey i swear americans think europeans eat crows for lunch
I agree that the hosts are stereotypical ignorant americans but only a xenophobic lithuanian with inferiority complex, could write this: "its the bigger European countries, like Poland, who think they are the center of the world and dont need to learn other languages".
Shannon really asked “Did he steal them lambo’s?!” I’m dead! Shannon a goat fr😂😩🤣🤣
Mama Ball needs to intervene for her children.
She is sick very sick
Peaceful Journey
She can't even form a sentence right now dude
Maybe she’s the mastermind. Have you ever thought about that 🤔
Peaceful Journey wish she could. But she's not well at all.
Peaceful Journey She ain't speaking her mind to Lavar. Seems like she's scared of Lavar
Why does Skip always sigh before he talks
he just does
hmmm
Lachlan he old
Shannon man, there are rarely language barriers when it comes to english in northern europe
There's gonna be a great 30 for 30 on the Ball family one day
Caleb Jones and only 30 people will watch it.
dont be stupid u clicked on this video you'd watch their 30 for 30
1:15 The food ?! C'mon, we have better food than yours in America!
Lithuania is the worst place for these clowns. Basketball is number one sport there with a strict system and they produce very disciplined players. Should have gone to some of the Balkan countries or even China, they would let you take 20 shots per game on skin color alone.
Schuky9 that’s why he sent them there
Discipline is why they are going there.
Don Jamel Hard to discipline them when their father is lavar
Perhaps he's going with the old school model of sending the future off to finishing school while taking care of the brand and the oldest son. I'd be holding ALL the criticism for now. He deserves some...but I actually like this move, from a radical point of view. The question is, will the kids see the benefit of what their dad is trying to instill in them?
Hey man, they actually produce some of the best players in the world in those Balkan countries. I'm sure you knew that.
Tired of the ball brothers. Stay in Lithuania. Sorry Lavar messed it up for everyone.
He really did though
Lavar involved in his son's life, more than an asian parent.
Joe Cobb Jr. He will continue to ball
Joe Cobb Jr. I’m with u on that dude
Lavar building an empire and he can do whatever he wants with HIS kids. He hasnt messed anything up
Skiiiuuppp (classic lol)
Ivan Cruz Shannon is GOAT. I’m glad that skip and Steve A left eachother because this was the best decision ever. These separate shows are 🔥🔥🔥🔥
If you got a Lambo why you stealing in China you stole the lambo to 😂😂😂😂
Free Curro He got the Ferrari. The younger one guy the Gallardo instead of a college education.
Pernection if it's a joke haha if not he got a scholarship
How is playing overseas going to improve the ball brothers stock? You don't see NBA teams clamoring for jimmy fredette while he's dropping 50 points a game.
sparkymike83 exactly
John X How many 6'2 midgets you see walking around my boy???
The Vagabond that's a midget In Germany sorta lol
Guys, they speak English there, especially people under 30. But nobody will allow them to take 30 shots per game.
Hahaha now I can watch them play ...
Matas Minkevičius Lol BBB
Matas Minkevičius Awesome!!
Man is (supposedly) trying to build a brand for the american market, moves his sons to a small town in Lithuania. 😂😂
His sons who are accustomed to attention, driving ferraris to campus, will now be asking directions in lithuanian to find the basketball court. 😂 See how they like that!!
ferraris are made in europe
... to be driven in the states
I bet Lithuanian workers are cheaper than US when it comes to Big baller brand 🤑 always think money first
Diver and you are still broke
how am I broke when your mama’s paying me every night?
Hahahahaha it will last as long as a tic-tac in a mouth of a whale 🐳 :) You're killing me bro' Shannon! Whales eats planctoon mate !!!
Oscar et sa guitare plankton*
thank's for the orthographic correction mate
Planctoon? Son smh...
That's what he's saying it will not happen for him
Don't forget Lithuania is the temple of Basketball. A country with 2 Millions inhabitants that compete with a country that has 500 millions inhabitants has to be respected by true basketball experts that loves the game. Making 10 competitive players out of 2 millions is a tough task when you regularily compete with a continent like USA in international competitions
Wasnt Rubio like 16 playing in Europe?
insight001
He was playing for the 2nd or 3rd best basketball league in the world. The ball brothers are gonna be playing for a rec league level team
Did Rubio have the same hype as the hypeless Ball brothers?
You ball lickers are so desperate to defend your king and his princes.
Rubio was playing for Barcelona, a Euroleague and Spanish League contender. The Ball brother will play for Vytautas, a Lithuanian League middle tier team. The top 4-5 Spanish League teams are good enough to qualify for the Euroleague. The top 2 usually contend. Only the Lithuanian League champion qualifies for the Euroleague. It almost never makes the playoffs.
insight001 Tony Parker too
If Sean Lee was healthy they would be in the NBA
6:20 Shan really care about lavar kids. Salute to him.
Wouldn't be surprised if we saw a reality show for them. You're possibly witnessing the new kardashian family masked as basketball stars.
Timothy Johnson they already have one you late af
Timothy Johnson I thought the same thing call Ryan S
It’s a TH-cam series
Lance Stroud actually, it's on Facebook.
I agree with Shanon, I don’t think this is gonna work. But if they pull through..they’re gonna be tough. central and Eastern Europeans...big, tough, huge guys...emphasis on tough...gonna hopefully teach these kids some damn discipline and grow a pair...specially Melo
Charlie Brown Lithuania is Northern 😂
Shannon was right his leaving
BUT SKIUUUPP, Balkan food is amongst most desired food all over the world
ummmm .. nope
it is eddy, ive been to bulgaria and their tomatos are amazing...
Eddy K Boy try some Greek, Bulgarian, Serbian food and tell me you didn't like it
Nikola Zivanovic What if that actually happens
Obviously a lie
"I need neckbones, I need oxtails, I need cornbread..." 😂 Shannon is always hilarious
Gelo wasn’t going to get playing time, so I think he might have done something like this anyways tbh
If they were all the rage why didn't Kentucky, Duke, UNC or Michigan St pick them up? Nobody wants that headache.
They're playing in the low tier league for a short time, then going to the higher tier league. Playing against grown men will make them better, and they can sell their shoes and do other things that NCAA players can't do.
These two are more popular right now than any NBA player outside of Lebron and Lonzo, so wherever they go, the internet is following. This is a good move for Lavar and co.
Rob Austin had me until the second paragraph
Sell shoes priced at 500 dollars?
Elijah B
He's not really off on that 2nd paragraph....but he should have worded it "Just as talked about as any NBA player including Lebron and Lonzo"
-THAT....would have been a true statement!!!
Rob Austin are you dumb or stupid
Rob Austin yea poeple are so ignorant to Lavars marketing scheme or rather refuse to acknowledge it because media says to hate this guy and his sons lol. Hes doing what others are to lazy to do haters hate
It's not only going to work - it's going to work AMAZINGLY well. It's like the time Vlade Divac, Petrovic and Kukoc (and the rest of the team) went up to the mountains in Yugoslavia to train - away from distractions. We all saw how that worked. LaMelo and Liangelo will be away fromdistractions - only basketball 24/7. It'll work. And besides, they didn't sign their life away. It's just half a season. Lavar will get the last laugh when LaMelo plays for the Lakers.
Amm cell works in Lithuania. Its second in the world in internet speed. Infrastructure is great. Food is all natural and very good.
i hate when people say that lithuanians cant talk english there will be a lot of team mates who talk english
Why do we talk about these people? There is at least 7 rookies better than Lonzo, UCLA kid isnt an NBA prospect and the youngest was ranked 9th for his age/position...
Dave James because the other rookies parents arent putting on a show to bring attention to them take lavar out of the media his kids would just be good basketball players with minimum expectation
Sharpe is wrong about one thing. You most certainly can use yourself as leverage to either acquire someone or give someone more money than they're worth (thus, preventing them from leaving). LBJ is a prime example of that. He forces the Cavs to get whoever he wants and used himself as leverage to force the Cavs to overpay his client Tristan Thompson. When more than one player on the same team share an agent, it is common place for that agent to leverage one player to get a better deal for the other player.
They'll be playing with professional players instead of your run of the mill college scrubs, which will better prepare them for the NBA...... not that hard to understand
Xavier Rose not really comp not that good in Lithuania
CloutCollecter they've signed with the Lithuanian basketball team for competition against the euro League, not just inside of Lithuania
Dereck Henson oh ok i thought they were playing daka teams in Lithuania
A very good college team would beat most European teams. And definitely helps you in the NBA.
Tommy Walker college teams would lose against almost every professional team in Europe.
''this gonna last as long as tic tac in a mouth of a whale'' 😂😂
lol!!!!!!!
TIL Jerusalem is in Europe
Nabder Nagor lol
I know but somehow they play in European Leugues (soccer, basketball etc.). Same with other countries that are near Russian border and are practicly in Asia.
ABSolutely you expect them to play vs Muslim teams? That wouldn’t end well 😂😂
They wouldnt play. That's problem. Muslim countries don't consider Isreal to exist. Professional players are banned from playing in their national teams if they play against Israelians. I belive two stars and team captain of some muslim country that now is World Cup participant were banned becouse they played against Jewish soccer club in chempions leaugue. In Judo or some other wrestling chempionships couple months ago Jewish national team member won gold medal and they didnt play his anthem.
It's in Asia but still funny
For whatever reason I feel like melo will last longer but liangelo will spend more minutes on the bench. They will definitely learn a lot but these guys are no joke. They are grown men like Shannon alluded to.
In europe and sports you can turn pro at 16, aslong as you're talented enough unlike in US where ncaa don't allow you to turn pro as it'll make you ineligible. In football (soccer) it's not common for 16 year old to play pro but it's not unusual if the player is good enough.
BizarreSporty Nerd sometimes they make appearance in the last 10 mins when there 16 but u right i dount ncaa would ever allow that it would make thier billion dollar industry null
I just feel sorry for Tina.
Larry Games don't..she is blessed regardless of our thoughts.
She'll be fine
Me too. Lavar is stressful. Probably never listened to a word she ever had to say, despite what he shows on that fake reality show.
you dont stay together that long as a couple without some compromise somewhere
The Ball Brothers are the Menendez Brothers waiting to happen.
James Pearson thats a bold statement bro.
James Pearson lol dude you made me spit my drink out
Except they're only going after Lavar lol.
😂😂🤣😂
James Pearson then you are already Joseph Goebells
Guess Skip didn't try ćevapi, burek, sarma etc.. at the winter olympics in Sarajevo
skips right, i give it a week b4 Melo misses his Lambo and comes crying home to daddy Lavar
Juicy Lettuce Cat heard that it's gonna be tough
Lamelo is such a cry baby every time I see him on or off the court I don't think he'll make it 3 seasons over there but if he does he'll be much better than if he stayed in high school
If it works out lavar will be legendary
Lavar will have the last laugh
DJBVA08 How so
Daimion Moodley all three of his sons will be in the NBA
DJBVA08 Reduced their chances now
Hahah I’m laughing at you right now for still eating a spoonful of lavars BS
Yeah ... his sons has about as much chance of making the NBA as Lavar has of beating Jordan in his prime.
who told them we don't speak English in Lithuania?
In Lithuania we speak English to( and more). In USA they speak Lithuanian ?! No . I think this TV boys are big Stupid uneducated American :)))))))
The only things that Lithuania has going for it is the skinny ladies (& there are some STUNNING ones over there).
Apart from that, the Ball brothers will more than likely struggle with everything else.
lol i hope they do succeed i know melo loves 2k so that's the free time spent right there.
1: They need Internet.
2: They need a PS4 and a Xbox one
3: They practice twice a day
4: Everyone under 45 speaks English
5: They will last more than 1 month
6: ITS A WESTERN RESTAURANT AT THE SPA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He is gonna END ALL 3 of his sons Basketball Career smh.
Eastwood Rufus lol maybe.
For real
How all 3 he already got one to the league
Jarell Lavender being in the league is one thing but if he son goes from starter to 6man to role player to bench guy thats a bad look for his brand nobody buys role player shoes or puts them in commercials hes putting pressure on the next 2 sons when lonzo had it easy compared to what they going thru now
Lonzo is good, he makes 6.5 million a year for the next 4 years.
Shannon is right...
Should've done this from the jump start
I NEED OXTAIL!
“did they steal them lambos?!?”
“no”
“oh”
😂😂😂
LaVar is doing what’s best for his kids. The media is upset because they can’t take control
J Ferg hes ruining them
marocain
Lonzo was the 4th ranked high school prospect and had one of the greatest freshmen seasons ever. He was going to the lakers regardless of lavar
How is best for his kids tho what are they going to do after basketball ?
Oscar Meza be rich asf
Foreal, you got these colleges making Billions off of all these young athletes and if you take gifts or money you get in trouble.
Shannon called that man LaJello... HAHAHA> Tell me I wasn't the only person that caught that.
Their bank accounts is gonna say otherwise.
Average Lithuanian player makes $500 a month....BALLIN"
Derek L. An average NCAA basketball player makes $0 a month.
D J Average NCAA player also doesn’t have their own shoe brand
Derek L. Were you making 3k a year at 16? On top of whatever he makes from his shoe
Lithuania ain't exactly balling in money buddy
Shannon with the grandma quotes!! 🤣🤣🤣
Shannon was right lol
Yoooo Shannon predicted this months back
Dude just said Jerusalem is in europe...smh
Technically you are right, but Israeli League Teams play in Europe, that's what Skiiiiieep meant.
Its in Africa
+Lee Brown you're wrong.
He also said Lithuania is a small town. He clearly didn’t pass geography in high school.
David thats not what he said tho
I love shannon's grandfather with these great quotes
You can´t really compare the food in Lithuania to Sarajevo. it´s like comparing American food to Mexican food
08:24 LMAO! 'If i'd been going overseas i need granny to be coming with me cos...I need neck bones, i need oxtail, i need cornbread...' shannon be killing me
Who’s here after Melo won ROY ?
I need Neck Bones, I need Ox Tails, I need Cornbread. Shannon is the best! Nothing like Granny food Unc!
"His shoplifting son".. haha
I'm from Georgia. Shannon light is really shinning. I had that granny.
They’re both gonna be playing higher level competition I think it can pan out well especially for Liangelo who might’ve not made it onto a premier college basketball team again
So Fresh So Real you realize they don't have to stay in that league right? If you're good in that league you get scouted and get picked up by a team in a higher division. Every time they go up a level and play their stock will rise and it'll develop them much better than playing against teenagers in the NCAA
Domini478 Emmanuel Mudiay
Domini478 Brandon Jennings
Nicholas Laforest they have a better chance developing in college than a D league minor team in Europe. Not even close to the competition they would be facing.
davidcici11Evolution that team is maybe d league but still better than 85% of college teams, also if they good they can get a division higher, get scouted etc...
Traditional Lithuania food is amazing
I use to like Lavar, n I'm certainly not gonna knock anyone's hustle, but these boys are coming off like spoiled lil rich white kids. Dad is building a brand n I respect that, but you have to build character as well as the father. We'll see how it works, it's really just a matter of opinion how they come up. Example, some people put their kids in public school, some put their kids in private school, n some choose to homeschool n there's no right answer often times, just a different approach.
King A ummm no they are acting like spoiled little black kids. Anyone from any race will act like this when spoiled and not facing consequences for their actions. Don't fool yourself and think that blacks with money can't benefit from privilege either.
It can affect anyone, agreed. However when you think of spoiled entitled kids most people wouldn't associate that with black children. But agreed it's a comfort n privilege issue more than anything, that was just my analogy. Comfort n privilege makes it easy for people to be spoiled, soft and entitled among o good many other things. Thanks for your response
King A I agree that it's not the norm. Just saying black or white if your getting lambos for your birthday I think you know how privilege feels lol. Take care and have a great weekend.
Christopher Czimback
Agreed. Have a blessed weekend
😂😂😂😂 Shannon keep callin him jello
Football as in Soccer- players do this all the time. Lavar knows what he’s doing stop questioning what he’s doing.
Philip Ezra Europe is the home of football, nobody cares about European basketball
Floe Ha but Europeans come to nba to play all the time
Like you said bro... Football... This is basketball
looking from Lithuanian teams perspective it might be a good move - signing 2 mascots that can generate some interest even if they are not going to play a lot probably.
I️ think melo/Gelo will get picked up by better leagues in Europe as soon as they see how good these kids are...
Keedru1113 _
Right though, I agree
-to be honest, they dont suck, and if it wasnt for the publicity of BBB over the last year: they would just be decently talented, highly recruited American basketball players.
I really think they should have continued on the UCLA path, but to be honest...I wish Lavar would let these boys grow up normally develop as basketball players....AND YOUNG ADULTS!
-and I'm saying this as an AAU father and coach
Shannon was right!!
Lol neck bones and oxtails .
I just hope they can play well enough to get off that bench. It won’t be easy for them, the level of play is pretty high over there.
I wish nothing for success for all 3 brother's, and quiet all these haters.
Be Conscious same. But the odds are stacked against them
Julian Vitug they going to be alright.
Be gone
