brobro34343 who's education are you getting smart guy? The white man. lavar is doing his OWN BLACK THING. Don't even talk that "black empowerment" talk if you haven't realized yet that this education system is what it says it is...a system. You don't need it to make it and that has been proven. It may help but you don't need it if you're smart enough to think critically and for yourself
Facts People act like you can't go to community college or get a trade and these NCAA college are the only options most people I know didn't go to college unfortunately and they all working in factories with they make about a 1000 a week so 4000 a month. This dude is giving high school graduates a option to make 3000-10000 a month and still possibly get into the NBA. Not everybody get scholarships so y can't we have a option for them? And he not forcing nobody to join you can make the decision you want because it's optional
Y'all love Shannon so dearly and now that he's going against Lavar, he's a hater. In my opinion he wasn't hating. If he was hating he wouldn't have said, "I wish you the best. I hope it's a success". He's just voicing his opinion. Everything on this show is OPINIONATED!
He called his league crappie. And he sarcastically said good luck trying to get scouts coming to your league... he don't really wish him the best. Listen to what he saying...
I like Shannon but lately his views on Lavar and the boys have been more negative. Still trying to see where they have done anything worse than the average Joe!!! Beat the system and people hate because the didn't/couldn't do it.
lol you don't agree and they are "hating". your a kid, you don't understand, took his son out of school and the other out if college. what are they gonna do after basketball? kids don't know how to save money. no education, no life skills no nothing. great dad right? lonzo is successful bc of lonzo. his hard work got him there bottom line.
lol global? you want to know why their shoes are 500 and everything is so expensive? bc it has to be, they have to give ppl money to produce their product and ship it out. you know nothing about business, bc you worry more about how you look than life itself. if you support him so much buys his clothes or better yet buy stock in his company. put you money where your mouth is. if they can't even finish high school or one year in college, you think they're gonna get a bussiness degree?
Yung Sinatra I'm not saying it's necessarily embarrassing that he got blocked, but I'm talking about the narrative the fuckheaded media is trying to promote. "Lonzo's a bust, Lavar is an idiot, and Harden is a god who we willingly forget how awful his last postseason performance was.
Stop y’all stop. Just because one black man doesn’t agree with another doesn’t mean he’s hating. If y’all think LaVar has the best interest of today’s and future basketball players in mind, okay. Shannon doesn’t. Leave it like that. Y’all wanna start complaining that he doesn’t what another black man to succeed just because you on the Balls balls. How can adults be so ignorant...
LoveMusicVideoArt it's not about him disagreeing with him. He laughed when he wish him luck, he called lavar league crappie. Like it's one thing to disagree but another to call his idea silly names.
Lavar is doing what they said he could not and I love it.These coaches are making millions when our boys are doing all the work.I also notice how most of the players say my coach was like a father t
the only problem with him starting his own league is everyone whos gonna hate n try n stop him theyll soon make a new rule that you have to go to college to go to the nba
This is a great idea , They can finally make some money instead of letting colleges take it all. It’s about time someone found a way to have these kids not be taken advantage of anymore.. How could you possibly hate on that
CheersClubMusic because there's this thing called the g league and euroleague which pays better, and can develop you better. Very few players have come from the streets have gone pro, and even fewer have had success. And this is basically the equivalent of the streets in terms of competition and organization.
CheersClubMusic I only have one problem is the fact it's coming out of his boys pay check for a majority. There's no way he just automatically got enough money to pay 80 boys money that ranges from 3k to 80k, but you know who does? Lonzo guaranteed, Gelo and Melo off of their Lithuania contracts and I'd be mad if I have to give a decent chunk of my earnings to 80 people that I don't know
How many high-school players we hear about that had a shot to go pro but couldn’t get into college because they didn’t have the grades. Lavar Ball a genius 🏀#BBB
Let's be honest, rarely do people want to see someone being successful. People hate on someone for doing things they wish they could. In the famous words of Shannon Sharpe' s grandmother, 'son, they even hated on Jesus and he was the savior' lol
Shannon sounding like the producers told him he’s too pro black and forced him to be more of a Whitlock. He’s mad LaVar wants to control the situation with his sons. So who’s supposed to control it then?
So he’s not “woke” anymore? 🙄 we are human, and as humans we are complex Individuals. You thought you’d agree with everything Shannon says? Don’t be naive
Anthony Edwards jr, the man has his opinions. you don't have to agree with everything he says. The man speaks out on social lnjustice vividly. i don't see to many people that has his platform doing that. He is good in my book.
Charles Sandals lol people still watching this old video, you don't need to read between the lines Shannon made very clear he isn't a fan of Lavar. If you have to really look into to find that out I feel really sorry for you.
So many people calling shannon a hater when shannon has been one few thats actually supported lavar ball, heck he even bought the mans $500 shoes. Lavar ball is clearly crazy, but he's also smart enough to use that to his advantage.
TheJuggernautzombie he not the only one supporting them many other rappers bought plenty of pair and he dismissed the shoes at first until skip said he bought a pair. Shannon is passive-agressive hater be honest
1. Those shoes never came to him even after all these months so you cant blame him for being mad. 2. Its honestly not passive aggressive hating, Lavar has clearly shown signs of craziness, plus its the longest shots of longshots that this plan will work and shannon is just pointing that out. Theres a difference between being realistic and hating. Hating is what kristine was doing, which was before lavar has even done half of what hes done today. Now in fairness you probably need some crazy in you to make certain business moves work, but lavar seems to be a bit too crazy. And just getting all the resources he needs to make this work is gonna take a whole lotta help. Plus as good as lavar has been for his kids branding, its a bit hard to believe he would do that for other kids as well.
TheJuggernautzombie lavar is just believing in his son publicly not being crazy at all when you have one do the same might get results , umm it’s a reason it’s a idea the nba wasn’t that popular at first everything starts somewhere and Shannon said why should he get the shoes while Lonzo was fresh out of college and said and I quote “why would I buy shoes from a unproven rookie in the draft” if you agree with that that’s any who hasn’t had a good career in the nba should have shoes I.e. Kanye West but I digress saying a league that isn’t made is crappie then wishing him luck passive aggressively hating
I think they stepped in on Sharpe... the way you play it is " I hve no problem with a black father who has gotten a son in the NBA, NBA talented sons and because he bigs them up like Gods... Skip what would you do with your sons???"
I don’t think he’d have a problem filling up arenas. Chino Hills, Mater Dei, Sierra Canyon, and Bishop Montgomery sold out USC’s arena for the open division state semi finals. So if he had a similar system where all the teams play on the same day I think he’d be able to sell out arenas.
Skip always seems to forget that there was this guy named Jackie Robinson who I personally think had a bigger target on his back than Lonzo during his rookie season...
Perry David Lol how. He said its a good idea in theory and that he should try it. He just doesn't think top recruits are going to pick Lavar's league over playing a year for the college of their choice. And if they want to play for money they can go to the G league or overseas.
More than 150,000 young men play high school basketball every year, and only about 45 get drafted into the NBA. That's 0.03 percent. Their average NBA career duration: 4.8 years. And then they are out. At the same time, thousands of accountants, computer professionals, marketing managers, health professionals, scientists and others graduate from colleges and get good jobs and start life-long careers. When is everyone going to wake up and realize that pinning all your hopes on becoming a famous athlete or celebrity is about as smart as spending all your pay on lottery tickets? It's a waste of time for 99% of them. Get an education in a good field and work hard at your career; that's all it takes to succeed today.
Its the narrative. Shannon usually plays the more enthusiastic and more positive side of things while Skkiiieeeeeuuupppp plays the negative nancy to play the contrast.
I REALLY HOPE HE SUCCEEDS WITH THIS LEAGUE .. america suppose to be the free-market but it seems that the sports entertainment has a monopoly and NO ONE says anything about it .. we definitely need our own Football League, Players, and Ownership ..
I think this concept would work if the teams were franchises spread out in second tier cities in medium sized arenas and marketed as the 2nd division of basketball in the country. Let who ever wants to play in whether they are 18 or 30. I would see good basketball for cheaper ticket prices than the nba offers.
Shannon is not hating. He's just giving his opinion on the matter. I'm like Shannon the best of luck to him on the business side. But he's all about himself.
They don't want Lavar to do it because talk about a SHIFT within the sport.. he'll easily be in the 100's of millions by the second year of the league.
Lil Wayne Carter how is starting a league helping the kids? Lavar is sending his sons to Europe and the league in the us. At first it was helping, now it money
"Kids". Please don't act like this league is some charity foundation for church kids in need. There's a lot of logistics and rules that need to be put in place. Who's going to be scouting this league in order to accept prospects into the NBA? Who's going to authorize these signings that entail millions of $ for the league? That's a lot of liability and the NBA needs to be sure players in this JBA are healthy, know how to actually play and condition, and where they stand athletically. Leagues have physicians, trainers, coaches, staff and all that - who's going to be sure they're all credible, competent, and can provide for the best interest to these "players" for the sake of hoping to join the NBA? Not to mention payrolls - who's going to fund all that? How about revenue, there's uncertainty in how much this league can even bring in to finance staff and pay players. Just being realistic.
I wish Lavar and the kids he's going to help much success. Shame on you Shannon, maybe, just maybe you should ask how you can help, instead of always being negative towards this man.
Fact Check: 1. Melo is 17 years old and when he is available for the NBA draft in 2020, there won't be another kid in his class with the experience that he will have-he will have been playing against grown men for years. 2. The JBA was created for the kids who didn't have the mental aptitude for college, flunked out of college, or didn't want to go to college but do possess a good enough basketball skill set to play at the next level. 3. Annually there are only about 120 players going to the NBA and G League. LaVar via the JBA, gives them another platform to showcase their skills and since he can recruit nationally and schedule games, overseas; he is able to allow foreign teams to get a first hand look at these kids talents before they sign them. Why aren't these guys talking about the NEW overseas opportunities that the JBA is making available. 4. Neither the NBA nor the G League have a vested interest in seeing US basketball talent go abroad unless THEY DON'T WANT THEM. LaVar is interested in these kids getting to play professionally, whether it be in the US or abroad, so WHAT'S SO BAD ABOUT THAT 5. Because of the present college recruiting system, many black players given scholarships, really are not academically prepared for college or don't have the aptitude for college. College coaches know this but just MOVE ON TO NEXT YEAR'S CLASS. Many of these players never get to finish their freshmen or sophomore year and you never hear about them again. The JBA was established to give these kids another platform to showcase their talents. 6. Now that LaVar has the JBA, I can see him only growing it, especially after Gelo and Melo are gone because, via the JBA, he will soon become one of " The Go Guys" for US basketball talent, because he can schedule games, let the coaches see how these kids play against their players, ALL prior to them being signed. 7. Please check out the online interview of the coach from the JBA's first game in Dennmark, because in it his talks about the 3 American players on his team and he states that on average his players were 4-5 years OLDER then the players of the JBA. Oh, and the JBA WON THE GAME (120-118); so don't think that it hasn't crossed his mind that via LaVar/JBA he can NOW get the same players but WHO ARE 4-5 YEARS YOUNGER. This reduces "overseas recruitment costs" for these teams and eventually will reduce the need to communicate with their contacts in the AAU, NCAA, G League, NBA. It also will drive the salaries/benefits up in the G League; remember LaVar has already said that next year he will be offering up to 17 times more money-50K/month, and if so, this will change everything and it will allow many of these kids to get lucrative deals , overseas. 8.Whether you like LaVar, JBA or not THEY ARE PRESENTLY overseas representing the UNITED STATES and we at least applaud their effort. You have to ask yourself, "What were these kids doing before the JBA? Also what wonderful experience to be able to be in a junior basketball league, play nationally and internationally. No, the JBA is a wonderful entity for the kids who have fallen through the cracks, it's just started by THE WRONG GUY because had the JBA been the brainchild of a white boy, even one with the same temperament as LaVar, THE MEDIA WOULD HAVE AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT SPIN ON THIS. Luckily for LaVar he already outflanked ALL the US Media outlets when he partnered with Facebook, which gives him GLOBAL Exposure. 9. Funny, I don't either one of these guys worrying about ALL the black players that don't make it past their freshmen or sophomore year or the fact that via the JBA many of these kids will probably get to play overseas. 10. Personally, I want to see what Skip and Shannon are going to be saying if these kids are successful and some of them get to play in the G league or overseas.
Think about it, a kid who knows he will struggle to be in school and pay to be in school just to get a chance to play ball for a team to be noticed by the pros. Or he goes to play for Mr. Ball , get paid, has a chance for scouts to watch them play, and maybe pro players watch also.... the down side... well is the same as any other sport, either you're good and get noticed or you're not and help those with talent be noticed.
You mean how Lavar Ball who yanked his two sons out of high school and college is going to succeed with his own basketball league? That Lavar Ball? Tell me how is he going to have success with this dream league of his? Shannon basically spoke his mind but at the same time wished the man luck on his endeavor. Can't hate the man for speaking his mind. I just don't see how it's going to work. Maybe it will work or maybe it won't. But personally I just can't see it.
Dont get too fired up about this decision because it doesn’t have any sustainability. If Lavar’s league starts taking off and gaining momentum the NBA is just going to ditch the one and done rule, (they’re the ones that started it to begin with). I’m sure he can sign a few that can’t make it in the NBA, but they already have a G-league. Does he want to run a shoe company or a basketball league?
What would you expect from LaVar Ball's basketball league?
Let's do it big baller brand
I'd support it
Nope he's the new xfl
NCAA is slavery. BBB is the black Wall Street
Nothing
Whether you like Lavar or not the guy is a genius of marketing
no he isnt, dumb people thinking he is, dumb people buy his clothes
pogspartan That’s why none of his BBB sells...
Adam Hupp he just started the brand if you know how business works you know it usually takes a year to see some profit.
No he isn't 😂😂
Genius? Lmao
Shannon never keeps this energy when Lavar is on set
A Black man can't disagree with another with out being called a hater?
Charles Howard Maybe you should listen to the video again. He is hating bruh
Obinna Africa He wishes him the best that says it all
It's a dumb idea bruh... he's not hating he's being realistic. He's looking at lavar like an individual and not letting race into it
Of course not bro, if you do you're either a hater, Uncle Tom etc. it's such a shame :/
Nope didn’t you know that?
Black People we got to start making Power Moves and this is one we should Stand Behind
I stand by getting an education so we don't have to rely on rich white men paying us for our physical ability.
brobro34343 who's education are you getting smart guy? The white man.
lavar is doing his OWN BLACK THING. Don't even talk that "black empowerment" talk if you haven't realized yet that this education system is what it says it is...a system. You don't need it to make it and that has been proven. It may help but you don't need it if you're smart enough to think critically and for yourself
T. GO Many professors are multicultural and come from many backgrounds. In fact many aren't even American.
Facts People act like you can't go to community college or get a trade and these NCAA college are the only options most people I know didn't go to college unfortunately and they all working in factories with they make about a 1000 a week so 4000 a month. This dude is giving high school graduates a option to make 3000-10000 a month and still possibly get into the NBA. Not everybody get scholarships so y can't we have a option for them?

buy cryptocurrencies bro's & sisters!!!

RayMo Facts 💯💯💯
He called his league crappie. And he sarcastically said good luck trying to get scouts coming to your league... he don't really wish him the best. Listen to what he saying...
You never heard someone sarcastically say I wish you the best? Are you that naive.
Ej Wilson He didn't say I wish you the best sarcastically, he said good luck trying to get scouts to come sarcastically.
I like Shannon but lately his views on Lavar and the boys have been more negative. Still trying to see where they have done anything worse than the average Joe!!! Beat the system and people hate because the didn't/couldn't do it.
Whenever you are trying to succeed at anything people will always talk about the negative and try to bring you down.
RopeADope • A opinion can't dring a person down
RopeADope • Exactly!!!
Ron Queen you call it an opinion I call it hating and that's not good support!!!!
RopeADope • 100% facts 👏🏻
Only because someone has an opinion, it isn't hating.
Just because Shannon is an advocate for black empowerment doesn't mean he has to support all of LeVar's decisions, you guys are being ridiculous
Connor atCanada Truth!
Thank you , not everything will Work yes black people need to start their own things doesn’t mean this will be a success
Facts. And Shannon supports Lavar bought the shoes. He gave no hate
Thank You
lol why is Shannon considered an advocate for black empowerment anyways
I can’t believe so many hating on this man
Luciano they are told what to say by the powers that be
lol you don't agree and they are "hating". your a kid, you don't understand, took his son out of school and the other out if college. what are they gonna do after basketball? kids don't know how to save money. no education, no life skills no nothing. great dad right? lonzo is successful bc of lonzo. his hard work got him there bottom line.
Alex Lopez they own a global business called Big Baller Brand ever heard of it? They can get degrees anytime they want
lol global? you want to know why their shoes are 500 and everything is so expensive? bc it has to be, they have to give ppl money to produce their product and ship it out. you know nothing about business, bc you worry more about how you look than life itself. if you support him so much buys his clothes or better yet buy stock in his company. put you money where your mouth is. if they can't even finish high school or one year in college, you think they're gonna get a bussiness degree?
They want to be him
They never show Lonzo's blocking the life outta Har_en and then scoring on him. Can't have a "bust" embarrassing a "MVP candidate".
True
They showed it on the full show
Yo Mammas Boo how’s that embarrassing, it’s basketball you get blocked
Yung Sinatra I'm not saying it's necessarily embarrassing that he got blocked, but I'm talking about the narrative the fuckheaded media is trying to promote. "Lonzo's a bust, Lavar is an idiot, and Harden is a god who we willingly forget how awful his last postseason performance was.
Patrick Ewing once got blocked by Muggsy Bogues, the SHORTEST player in NBA history.
Bar set.
Stop y’all stop. Just because one black man doesn’t agree with another doesn’t mean he’s hating. If y’all think LaVar has the best interest of today’s and future basketball players in mind, okay. Shannon doesn’t. Leave it like that. Y’all wanna start complaining that he doesn’t what another black man to succeed just because you on the Balls balls. How can adults be so ignorant...
LoveMusicVideoArt it's not about him disagreeing with him. He laughed when he wish him luck, he called lavar league crappie. Like it's one thing to disagree but another to call his idea silly names.
obh goonie gang his idea is silly
Lavar tries at least
And succeeds at being a clown.
michele galderisi thank you.... Congratulations go out to Kezo Brown, Jba and BBB! KEZO got Signed to play pro ball overseas.....Let's go
What a coincidence that both Stephen A and Shannon are hating! while Max and Skip are being positive.
Lavar is doing what they said he could not and I love it.These coaches are making millions when our boys are doing all the work.I also notice how most of the players say my coach was like a father t
Kinda sound like hating
Kinda?!
1 kg or realism
1 kg Exactly
1 kg How is this hating? Elaborate..
1 kg in 2017 logical is now called hating smh
Lavar needs to brush his teeth first
Ikr all that money no self respect
JustCallMeRock 🤣🤣🤣
It's Lavar ball people , learned not to doubt this man awhile ago
the only problem with him starting his own league is everyone whos gonna hate n try n stop him theyll soon make a new rule that you have to go to college to go to the nba
Why not support him instead of hating on it? People don't have nothing good to say about nothing. Just hating on everything.
This is a great idea , They can finally make some money instead of letting colleges take it all. It’s about time someone found a way to have these kids not be taken advantage of anymore.. How could you possibly hate on that
CheersClubMusic because there's this thing called the g league and euroleague which pays better, and can develop you better. Very few players have come from the streets have gone pro, and even fewer have had success. And this is basically the equivalent of the streets in terms of competition and organization.
mrslash blade your right , I️ just feel like the more options the better ..no ?
CheersClubMusic I only have one problem is the fact it's coming out of his boys pay check for a majority. There's no way he just automatically got enough money to pay 80 boys money that ranges from 3k to 80k, but you know who does?

Amen
Anthony Bell LMFAO @ grandma quote
"two of our balls have revealed themselves"
Shannon sounding like the producers told him he’s too pro black and forced him to be more of a Whitlock. He’s mad LaVar wants to control the situation with his sons. So who’s supposed to control it then?
This is nothing about race
2 of his kids are grown as bitiches, oh w8 you didnt know Gelo wasnt a starter for UCLA, he was coming off the bench
Pearce Pedro So I guess it’s impossible to genuinely disagree with someone of you’re own race ?
Pearce Pedro Exactly
"control the situation" thats peoples saying to defend everything he does. He couldn t control the Chino hills HS team so he took Lamelo with him.
Im not feeling Shannon lately, is opinions are starting to lean the opposite way
hes a puppet
They got to him. turned him perhaps
Yup, he pulling a Stephan A Smith now
So he’s not “woke” anymore? 🙄 we are human, and as humans we are complex Individuals. You thought you’d agree with everything Shannon says? Don’t be naive
Anthony Edwards jr, the man has his opinions. you don't have to agree with everything he says. The man speaks out on social lnjustice vividly. i don't see to many people that has his platform doing that. He is good in my book.
Lavar Ball needs to hire me as a waterboy!
Shannon hating hard af.
How???? Lonzo a bust cant shoot to save his life.. got the worst shooting motion in history
Jimmy Vaughan Kevin martin did to he one of the best shooters in the game when he was plan quit hating
Jimmy Vaughan what does that have to do with this topic..lol
Because Shannon hatin for a reason
Loaded Shoe he is not .Listen 🍭😂😂
Ever since Gelo got locked up, Shannon been putting on his tap dancing shoes every BBB subject
Lavar is all bark and no bite
Stop the hate for this guy this guy is a real entrepreneur I salute lavar
Just because Shannon disagrees doesn't make him a hater. That's his opinion whether you agree or not
respect Skip for saying that
Its not a good a idea it's a Great idea!
BBB
If this league takes off, I'm for it. If it doesn't; no harm, no foul. I'm always in support of more basketball everywhere. #BallisLife
Man lately Shannon's been speaking the truth lately, he's not saying it's going to fail he's just saying good luck get it straight people.
Benn255 B are you white ?
+nopity nope nope I'm sure at 99.9% the answer is yes...
We did a good job executing you have my little pony in you're created play list enough said 😂
Benn255 B, learn to read between the lines, when he's calls it names he is not truly wishing him good luck. Get it straight Ben.
Charles Sandals lol people still watching this old video, you don't need to read between the lines Shannon made very clear he isn't a fan of Lavar. If you have to really look into to find that out I feel really sorry for you.

If you look past lavar it’s really a great idea ..
Jamil Waters Not really
Shannon you can't be serious right?😒
Young people get your education.
This is literally the only episode I’m 100% on Skips side lmao.
Damn Shannon, you're really out here slandering lavar like that. That's making me think that your whole "black empowerment speech" was fake AF.
Well look at who his fiance is.
AliKamaal he’s a joke
HES MARRIED TO A WHITE CAVEWOMAN SO ITS NO SURPRISE!!!!!!
Paul Love So is Lavar he married to a white women to so what u talking about Willis
Y’all young cats worship Lavar.. why? Lol gets y’all in your feels.
A year later...
I’ll be back in another year to update.
Thank you.
ESPN and Fs1 definitely have a vendetta against BBB and u better believe Lavar feeding off their dought/Hate
skip bayless is a fine fine commentator as long as they are not talking about warriors, lebron, brady and cowboys
Athletes aren’t the only ones who fail , yes, but there’s a GM who taking the responsibility for it and his or her family as well.
What? Every other industry has managers and owners too. What are you talking about?
Man stop hating on that man damn
I think they stepped in on Sharpe... the way you play it is " I hve no problem with a black father who has gotten a son in the NBA, NBA talented sons and because he bigs them up like Gods... Skip what would you do with your sons???"
I don't know about everyone else but it is kind of weird that Skip and Shannon actually agree with one another lol
Yeap,Yeap,Yeap They had to put the brakes on Sharpe, I knew it was coming
Stop hating Shannon
Shannon said they might be taking a pay cut coming from the one-and-done schools.. too real 😂😂😂
I don’t think he’d have a problem filling up arenas. Chino Hills, Mater Dei, Sierra Canyon, and Bishop Montgomery sold out USC’s arena for the open division state semi finals. So if he had a similar system where all the teams play on the same day I think he’d be able to sell out arenas.
I hope it do
I notice many amazing basketball players aren't doing anything after high school.
Shannon said the Macintosh!
Thank You Shannon for being objective & not hating on another Black man.
Shannon's a smart man, he does not sound like a hater.
Skip always seems to forget that there was this guy named Jackie Robinson who I personally think had a bigger target on his back than Lonzo during his rookie season...
I hope he makes It work and It will be a game changer .
ESPN hypnotized Shannon and put him into a sunken place. Had to with all that HATING.
Perry David Lol how. He said its a good idea in theory and that he should try it. He just doesn't think top recruits are going to pick Lavar's league over playing a year for the college of their choice. And if they want to play for money they can go to the G league or overseas.
The man has always been in a sunken place (hint - his girlfriend)
You GO LAVAR!
More than 150,000 young men play high school basketball every year, and only about 45 get drafted into the NBA. That's 0.03 percent. Their average NBA career duration: 4.8 years. And then they are out.
At the same time, thousands of accountants, computer professionals, marketing managers, health professionals, scientists and others graduate from colleges and get good jobs and start life-long careers. When is everyone going to wake up and realize that pinning all your hopes on becoming a famous athlete or celebrity is about as smart as spending all your pay on lottery tickets? It's a waste of time for 99% of them. Get an education in a good field and work hard at your career; that's all it takes to succeed today.
Great idea, hope he can make it work.
It's funny to me all of sudden Shannon has become a Lavar hater but when he was on the show he was on his Nuts....
Its the narrative. Shannon usually plays the more enthusiastic and more positive side of things while Skkiiieeeeeuuupppp plays the negative nancy to play the contrast.
I love me some Shannon, but I think Shay missed the point on this one.
Everyone LOVES LaVar.
Shannon not Hating ,He actually thinks this is a STUPID idea . He said Good luck too you just incase it does work .
Shannon out here lookink like a president😂🔥
Thank you skip.
I REALLY HOPE HE SUCCEEDS WITH THIS LEAGUE .. america suppose to be the free-market but it seems that the sports entertainment has a monopoly and NO ONE says anything about it .. we definitely need our own Football League, Players, and Ownership ..
I think this concept would work if the teams were franchises spread out in second tier cities in medium sized arenas and marketed as the 2nd division of basketball in the country. Let who ever wants to play in whether they are 18 or 30. I would see good basketball for cheaper ticket prices than the nba offers.
Just cause something works, it doesn’t mean the person isn’t crazy
Damn, I love this show...
I hope fox sports didn't put Shannon on the sunken place
“I’m talking Fathers of all colors”
If you told this show they couldn't talk about Lavar, the Cowboys, and LeBron...it would be 90 minute of commercials.
I agree with Shannon 100%
Long live Lavar Ball
Lavar is a inspiration
LAVAR BALL IS THE TRUTH💯 PERIOD!!!!!!👍🏿😁
Shannon is not hating. He's just giving his opinion on the matter. I'm like Shannon the best of luck to him on the business side. But he's all about himself.
Shannon, you hating big bro? lol. Wow!!! Let Lavar do him!
Skip just said Lavar has the vision lol
They don't want Lavar to do it because talk about a SHIFT within the sport.. he'll easily be in the 100's of millions by the second year of the league.
Shannon should at least be happy that a black man is trying to do something to help out kids around the world.
Lil Wayne Carter how is starting a league helping the kids? Lavar is sending his sons to Europe and the league in the us. At first it was helping, now it money
"Kids". Please don't act like this league is some charity foundation for church kids in need.
There's a lot of logistics and rules that need to be put in place. Who's going to be scouting this league in order to accept prospects into the NBA? Who's going to authorize these signings that entail millions of $ for the league?
That's a lot of liability and the NBA needs to be sure players in this JBA are healthy, know how to actually play and condition, and where they stand athletically.
Leagues have physicians, trainers, coaches, staff and all that - who's going to be sure they're all credible, competent, and can provide for the best interest to these "players" for the sake of hoping to join the NBA? Not to mention payrolls - who's going to fund all that? How about revenue, there's uncertainty in how much this league can even bring in to finance staff and pay players.
Just being realistic.
Lil Wayne Carter From what I heard, it sounds like he is
Lavar is the dad of one high draft pick. Congrats.
Joy called it on her podcast.
They doubted the Big Baller Brand and look what it did.
I wish Lavar and the kids he's going to help much success. Shame on you Shannon, maybe, just maybe you should ask how you can help, instead of always being negative towards this man.
Everyone hates Shannon’s take this time around but whenever he says anything about lebron y’all love him 😂😂😂
Fact Check:
1. Melo is 17 years old and when he is available for the NBA draft in 2020, there won't be another kid in his class with the experience that he will have-he will have been playing against grown men for years.
2. The JBA was created for the kids who didn't have the mental aptitude for college, flunked out of college, or didn't want to go to college but do possess a good enough basketball skill set to play at the next level.
3. Annually there are only about 120 players going to the NBA and G League. LaVar via the JBA, gives them another platform to showcase their skills and since he can recruit nationally and schedule games, overseas; he is able to allow foreign teams to get a first hand look at these kids talents before they sign them. Why aren't these guys talking about the NEW overseas opportunities that the JBA is making available.
4. Neither the NBA nor the G League have a vested interest in seeing US basketball talent go abroad unless THEY DON'T WANT THEM. LaVar is interested in these kids getting to play professionally, whether it be in the US or abroad, so WHAT'S SO BAD ABOUT THAT
5. Because of the present college recruiting system, many black players given scholarships, really are not academically prepared for college or don't have the aptitude for college. College coaches know this but just MOVE ON TO NEXT YEAR'S CLASS. Many of these players never get to finish their freshmen or sophomore year and you never hear about them again. The JBA was established to give these kids another platform to showcase their talents.
6. Now that LaVar has the JBA, I can see him only growing it, especially after Gelo and Melo are gone because, via the JBA, he will soon become one of " The Go Guys" for US basketball talent, because he can schedule games, let the coaches see how these kids play against their players, ALL prior to them being signed.
7. Please check out the online interview of the coach from the JBA's first game in Dennmark, because in it his talks about the 3 American players on his team and he states that on average his players were 4-5 years OLDER then the players of the JBA. Oh, and the JBA WON THE GAME (120-118); so don't think that it hasn't crossed his mind that via LaVar/JBA he can NOW get the same players but WHO ARE 4-5 YEARS YOUNGER. This reduces "overseas recruitment costs" for these teams and eventually will reduce the need to communicate with their contacts in the AAU, NCAA, G League, NBA. It also will drive the salaries/benefits up in the G League; remember LaVar has already said that next year he will be offering up to 17 times more money-50K/month, and if so, this will change everything and it will allow many of these kids to get lucrative deals , overseas.
8.Whether you like LaVar, JBA or not THEY ARE PRESENTLY overseas representing the UNITED STATES and we at least applaud their effort. You have to ask yourself, "What were these kids doing before the JBA? Also what wonderful experience to be able to be in a junior basketball league, play nationally and internationally.
No, the JBA is a wonderful entity for the kids who have fallen through the cracks, it's just started by THE WRONG GUY because had the JBA been the brainchild of a white boy, even one with the same temperament as LaVar, THE MEDIA WOULD HAVE AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT SPIN ON THIS.
Luckily for LaVar he already outflanked ALL the US Media outlets when he partnered with Facebook, which gives him GLOBAL Exposure.
9. Funny, I don't either one of these guys worrying about ALL the black players that don't make it past their freshmen or sophomore year or the fact that via the JBA many of these kids will probably get to play overseas.
10. Personally, I want to see what Skip and Shannon are going to be saying if these kids are successful and some of them get to play in the G league or overseas.
Think about it, a kid who knows he will struggle to be in school and pay to be in school just to get a chance to play ball for a team to be noticed by the pros. Or he goes to play for Mr. Ball , get paid, has a chance for scouts to watch them play, and maybe pro players watch also.... the down side... well is the same as any other sport, either you're good and get noticed or you're not and help those with talent be noticed.
Shannon is only speaking the Truth.
stormking989 how?!!!!
You mean how Lavar Ball who yanked his two sons out of high school and college is going to succeed with his own basketball league? That Lavar Ball? Tell me how is he going to have success with this dream league of his? Shannon basically spoke his mind but at the same time wished the man luck on his endeavor. Can't hate the man for speaking his mind. I just don't see how it's going to work. Maybe it will work or maybe it won't. But personally I just can't see it.
Shannons grandpa been dropping wisdom all his life
20k contract is a joke to play basketball in the U.S.. I have friends that play overseas and wouldn’t waste a second in the Dleague.
I think these ideas are just fine, we need competition in these areas or else we get only one choice and that choice has all the power.
Nothing wrong with going against the system and tradition. That's how the "new" is born and created.
Lavar is becoming a genius!👏🏾
Dont get too fired up about this decision because it doesn’t have any sustainability. If Lavar’s league starts taking off and gaining momentum the NBA is just going to ditch the one and done rule, (they’re the ones that started it to begin with). I’m sure he can sign a few that can’t make it in the NBA, but they already have a G-league. Does he want to run a shoe company or a basketball league?
Funny how Ice Cube has his league and he was praised, but Lavar starts something and he is reviled.
