People talking about his personality but I went to chs w/bra, he’s genuinely like this on and off the court hella chill. He don’t have to put up a front to impress people about his ego. I guess you gotta be outgoing to be normal in this society lol
Jstn 8156 I don't hate the kids. I hate Lavar. He trying to live his dreams through them, at THEIR expense. If you think this is the best move (especially for top 10 prospect lamelo) then you are lying to yourself.
Uganda Knuckles yeup. The interviewer is awful, and the ball brothers were probably warned by Lavar to make sure to not give them any sound bites. Either that or they have the charisma of pair of wool socks.
GODOFALLGODS121 The NBA Players Association and Adam Silver are looking into rescinding the "1yr after graduating from high school" aka "1 and done" rule so players will be able to be drafted straight from high school again. This would allow Melo to play.
MartiansvsGoblins he seriously has nothing to talk about he is just playing basketball ESPN shouldn’t be interviewing him till he accomplishes something
Yo know that’s calculated right? It keeps them from saying something crazy, their dad and mom are doing a great job, no click bait just great deflection tactics
people like you are exactly the kind of people who spend their lives in the same town/country and never see anything beyond it or experience a different culture. Poor you for having such a limited outlook on life
Imagine having to talk to the same media that bashes you, your brothers, and your father everyday. They’re not awkward. They just don’t like ESPN or FS1. They ready to prove the media wrong. They are angry and out for blood.
Jude M 0.3% of varsity HS ballers make it to the NBA, if he was making plays on a national level like Jordan Brand Classic, McDonald's all American game, USA junior basketball program or HS national championship game then you could perhaps make a case that his strengths could carry over to the next level, but if he's a below average athlete at the NCAA level than unless he's got Steph Curry shooting he doesn't belong in the NBA especially not as a one and done
I think gelo has a future in the nba as a sharpshooter from 3. He’s just not the brightest or smartest player you’ll ever meet, hope the best for him as none of these kids should be hated
16-20 year olds (including Lonzo). They're weird as hell, and I'm not even expecting them to say anything crazy like their dad but speak at least lmao. They just remind me of Westbrook. "So how is Lithuania so far?" "Good execution...." "Is it what you expected or are you a little thrown off?" "We did a good job of executing...."
The show is a reality show. It’s completely staged. That’s not the “real” them. These interviews are the real Ball brothers. They’re awkward as fuck rich kids that can’t handle simple human interaction.
Kala You're publicly speaking to MILLIONS of people. You dont wanna say the wrong things idiot. Millions of people judge u and ask u private questions all fuckin day shit annoying probably
Right now is tough. All you can do is talk. Can’t wait for Tuesday so they can actually have something real to work with. That first practice wasn’t even that real. Just to get them out there. They probably haven’t even gotten through any real plays yet. I’m guessing tomorrow is the first serious day. Practice before the game on Tuesday.
Bruh you wrong bet they been going in every practice trying to get acclimated to the team if they haven't been going hard they ain't trying to get better... this ain't 5th grade basketball
tom jens they definitely not introverts, like melo said in his interview they’re wild, you should watch ball in the family and see how they really are 😂
This is my first interview I saw of him, but others posted that he is this awkward in other interviews as well... So maybe they feel comfortable among themselves n ball in the family, but are super uncomfortable doing soli interviews, who knows.
Chris Grant interviewer is hella weird. Every time gelo answered he looks at him like his answer is wrong or like he thinks gelo is stupid. I wouldn’t want to answer from this guy either.
I'm sorry but Gelo and Melo have the worse interviewing skills of any athlete I've ever watched in my life. Its as if they've only talked to their family throughout their lives. Don't get me wrong, I'm hoping they do well but it seems that their father has talked for them for so long that they don't know what to say. I think both still need to further their education.
If Melo is a pro ball player he's eligible for any pro league in the world its up to owners of the franchise to purchase the player and the players agent to negotiate the best contract posible on behalf of the player.and also the scouts the franchise send out to review the player's.
Okay so my next question liangelo... tell me what your first time spelling Lithuania was like ???? Liangelo: “ it was cool..I mean it was hard but I liked it”
This guy owes his little brother more than words can describe. He totally fucked up the blueprint, and lets be honest. He was only at UCLA because of his brothers. Otherwise he's at Long Beach state or something lower.
travel boy you idiots act like he wasn't one of the leading scorers in the nation. He was the Keating scorer on Chino hills and now you act like he can't play at all.
Jerry Graves He wasn't even a top 200 recruit. How many guys outside of the top 200 are one and done players that get drafted? You know the answer. Don't discredit LBS. Gelo can ball, but not minutes at UCLA. The Missouri Valley Conference would have been good for him. Sure, come to UCLA and enjoy the perks... UCLA gets Zo and Melo, but they don't have time for the far less talented brother and the BS he pulled. Just don't be a tard and you can attend UCLA (because we want your brothers). He's not good enough.
Fredderick MD this is about Gelo, not Melo. Gelo who you see in this video was ranked 226th overall in the nation, 50th best in the nation at his position, and 21st overall in just California. He was at best a 3 star recruit. So, I'll give the excuse that you ment Melo, but this video isn't featuring Melo. This is all about Gelo.
9:42, How can you ask a kid a question like that? The interviewer asked that question as if Lavar is some random guy. Thats their father, and thats disrespectful to ask
This interviewer literally asked the same question to both brothers in separate interviews. Shouldve just had them both there. ESPN working hard for views.
Why this guy still getting interviews he playing in Lithuania cause he had no potential in college. He probably won’t be any good against no-talents in Lithuania.
Yet he's still earning $20k/ game on top of the other money he's earning. The only family with their own tab on ESPN lol. The only basketball player with their own newspaper deal with USA Today at Lonzowire.usatoday.com , the only basketball family with a tv show. There's definitely reasons to interview them.
He’ll get better at the interview part of this career. A little media training & he’ll be well on his way. He basically went from high school to this so media wasn’t a big part of his day to day like Zo in college. Melo did pretty well considering his college. Gelo seem like he just afraid of saying anything he might get in trouble for. They’ll get better. Wish the best for em.
Everybody can't be fake for the camera guys... Liangelo is just being his genuine self... He's just chill
It's more like he doesn't want to be interviewed or his simply not used to all of this or his just simply bad
Michael Colon I mean the dude interviewing him legit called him trash and the only one who wouldn’t make the nba
Justin Black they want a black man to dance for them
Austin Lay Yea and he's the only one
People talking about his personality but I went to chs w/bra, he’s genuinely like this on and off the court hella chill. He don’t have to put up a front to impress people about his ego. I guess you gotta be outgoing to be normal in this society lol
Bunch of haters man these kids are following their dreams. Can’t hate people for trying, good luck young blood.
Jstn 8156 facts!!
Jstn 8156 I don't hate the kids. I hate Lavar. He trying to live his dreams through them, at THEIR expense.
If you think this is the best move (especially for top 10 prospect lamelo) then you are lying to yourself.
Giraffe Juice 😂😂😂😂♿️🚾
Jstn 8156 you mean following daddy's dreams don't ya
he sounds like he is a hostage
Ray Jepson 😂😂😂
Same as his brother Melo. His interview was like even more awkward
Dghvd hfhhb O
Ray Jepson Lmao he really does
Go look at his ig live videos he always sounds like that
I would pay to see Gelo, DRose, and Tim Duncan sitting at a dinner table.
zeekmorris Throw Kawhi in there too
😂😂
Throw in ingram
Lmao they boutta play a mean game of silent library
And Kusma
anybody find this awkward af?
Hella Awk
like a terrible first date
Why does their virginity matter to you? Stay in yo lane
Cringe
Uganda Knuckles yeup. The interviewer is awful, and the ball brothers were probably warned by Lavar to make sure to not give them any sound bites.
Either that or they have the charisma of pair of wool socks.
He seems a little shy
CKtheDREAMchaser nah he's just dumb
CKtheDREAMchaser To me they both just seem introverted and afraid to open up to people
They all act that way on camera...watch ball in the family u can def see there personality
Goat being wellspoken doesn’t mean ur smart
Goat hahahaha
Gelo- “Me zo and Melo all on the Lakers next year”
Jeff-“ I don’t think that’s possible”
Gelo- “we’ll see”
Wtf 😂😂
what time is that? lmao
let the boy dream 😂
GODOFALLGODS121 The NBA Players Association and Adam Silver are looking into rescinding the "1yr after graduating from high school" aka "1 and done" rule so players will be able to be drafted straight from high school again. This would allow Melo to play.
GODOFALLGODS121 🤣🤣🤣🤣
8:06 😂
this guy is harder than chief keef to interview
Lmfaoooooooo
MartiansvsGoblins he seriously has nothing to talk about he is just playing basketball ESPN shouldn’t be interviewing him till he accomplishes something
Yo know that’s calculated right? It keeps them from saying something crazy, their dad and mom are doing a great job, no click bait just great deflection tactics
MartiansvsGoblins lmmfaoooooooo
He should have deflected them sunglasses in china though
it’s not awkward reporter has no flow...looks like a real episode of “The Office” 😂
R8ASONS hate that stupid office show dry ass comedy
lol is it because it doesnt have those edgy laugh tracks that most shows have
W!lly Beats nope just plain dry weird comedy and I love comedy but I'm a hard critic
Examples?
Emmanuel Akingbemi Elaborate more please.
Poor Jeff. Imagine the look on his face when ESPN told him he gotta go to Lithuania to cover the Ball family lol
he's trying so hard lol
it was either this or get laid-off like a lot of their talent
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
He making 💸💸💸😂
people like you are exactly the kind of people who spend their lives in the same town/country and never see anything beyond it or experience a different culture. Poor you for having such a limited outlook on life
U gonna be a star Boi don't mind these haters
Imagine having to talk to the same media that bashes you, your brothers, and your father everyday. They’re not awkward. They just don’t like ESPN or FS1. They ready to prove the media wrong. They are angry and out for blood.
The VibeyAssPodcast then why agree and do an interview ?
Josue Perez because you don’t turn down ESPN
I love how direct and simple LiAngelo is, fricking awesome maaaaan
Question: did that sexy reporter show up at your door last night? LiAngelo: no comment, I'm just here to play!
paul hogans lol
This has me dead 😂😂😂
Gelo can score he might not be able to do much else but dude can put the ball in the hoop
Against high schoolers.....
Josh F-w yea because he is a high schooler don’t forget
gelo is good and can score he just lacks speed and quickness
Jude M 0.3% of varsity HS ballers make it to the NBA, if he was making plays on a national level like Jordan Brand Classic, McDonald's all American game, USA junior basketball program or HS national championship game then you could perhaps make a case that his strengths could carry over to the next level, but if he's a below average athlete at the NCAA level than unless he's got Steph Curry shooting he doesn't belong in the NBA especially not as a one and done
Josh F-w bro he averaged 30+ in hs
Oh boy, an 11 minute interview with gelo. I like the kid, but he sound a little slow sometimes 😓
crashlong apparently he had a 4.0
Ruben Montes well there are some kids who are book smart but can't articulate well. Especially in the spotlight, but idk
I’m tired of the 4.0 shit I NEED to see some transcripts because as time goes on its becomes less and less unbelievable with Melo and Gelo. 😑
bootysensei lol
whats 4.0??
I think gelo has a future in the nba as a sharpshooter from 3. He’s just not the brightest or smartest player you’ll ever meet, hope the best for him as none of these kids should be hated
So I was waiting on the question on that female reporter
Question: Did she show up at your door? Answer: no comment, I'm just here to play lol
Yung Drizzy wait...what happened?
strawhats100 she asked gelo for his number lol
Lavar Ball turned these kids into robots or something bruh. Every single one of them are weird are as hell lmao.
Kala keyword. Kids.
16-20 year olds (including Lonzo). They're weird as hell, and I'm not even expecting them to say anything crazy like their dad but speak at least lmao. They just remind me of Westbrook.
"So how is Lithuania so far?"
"Good execution...."
"Is it what you expected or are you a little thrown off?"
"We did a good job of executing...."
Not everyone can handle the media like other superstars
The show is a reality show. It’s completely staged. That’s not the “real” them. These interviews are the real Ball brothers. They’re awkward as fuck rich kids that can’t handle simple human interaction.
Kala You're publicly speaking to MILLIONS of people. You dont wanna say the wrong things idiot.
Millions of people judge u and ask u private questions all fuckin day shit annoying probably
Gelo and lonzo need to let their hair grow back again
Jonathan Martinez nah hair looks good as is
Shut up
Who gives a fuck about some guys hair ? 😂
and lamelo needs to cut his hair
Right now is tough. All you can do is talk. Can’t wait for Tuesday so they can actually have something real to work with. That first practice wasn’t even that real. Just to get them out there. They probably haven’t even gotten through any real plays yet. I’m guessing tomorrow is the first serious day. Practice before the game on Tuesday.
I read that the game has been canceled. is that true?
Where is it going to be televised?
They left the BBL and now gonna play teams that are even worst in the BBB thing. Wait for their first games in LKL before you judge their play.
Bruh you wrong bet they been going in every practice trying to get acclimated to the team if they haven't been going hard they ain't trying to get better... this ain't 5th grade basketball
they won
Poorly constructed interview 👎
He’s so emotionless. I would hate to interview someone like him.
Lavar forgot to give his middle son a little PERSONALITY. Almost fell asleep watching this.
Lmaooooo @8:39
AntCookin ok bro they can’t cut that shit out?😂😂
fr
Lmaoooo hilarious
Melo like "hurry this up"
bum ass reserve espn crew got sent to lithuania
LiAngelo Ball- the life of the party.
Do you guys think Jeff hates his job right now??? 😂😂😂
BossMan Dee hell no. Jeff gettin that bag
Who gives a fuck what Jeff likes,y'all are the true fuck boys, critics 😶😂
bruh, you know nobody else on ESPN wanted to do these damn interviews lmao
Dave actually you’re all wrong he’s been covering them since all 3 were at chino hills
The camerawork here is top notch, professional, and totally up to ESPN's standards
3mins in I'm bored AF how is this 10mins long...
This is super awkward
Why the fuck would they not edit these 3 vids
Wish the best for this dude favorite player out of them three
These brothers are like the basketball version of the migos especially in interviews lol
Sucks he got caught up in China. Was rly lookin forward to see how he was gonna do at UCLA
These kids were well coached 😂
loving the enthusiasm!
The volume sounds weird if you have headphones
This reminds me of a 2k interview 😂
that’s how all the brothers prepare lol
He is so uncomfortable, same with his brother. I guess they are kind of introverts or something, hard to explain this much level of uncomfortable
tom jens they definitely not introverts, like melo said in his interview they’re wild, you should watch ball in the family and see how they really are 😂
This is my first interview I saw of him, but others posted that he is this awkward in other interviews as well... So maybe they feel comfortable among themselves n ball in the family, but are super uncomfortable doing soli interviews, who knows.
He seems so uncomfortable answering questions all the time
Chris Grant interviewer is hella weird. Every time gelo answered he looks at him like his answer is wrong or like he thinks gelo is stupid. I wouldn’t want to answer from this guy either.
We all good. Big baller brand is global
LiAngelo be acting awkward asf...
He’s trying to bait that family smh , their doing something that’s never been done before! And the doing it well
edit your videos properly ESPN
It’s weird how people analyze the Ball family, they’re regular people chasing the dream, it’s disgusting when people attack them! BBB vs. the world
The interviewer looks like he chews tobacco
ahahaha
The interviewer has to be VladTv brother sound just like him..😂
This is so awkward. This body language suggests they are either a) not happy playing there b) bored af with the media pestering them c) both a) and b)
Anchit Bhagat that’s just him as a person, he has a very dull character
Maybe, but I saw the brother's interview as well and that was very similar
Anchit Bhagat b and d (d is shy)
Anchit Bhagat I think they're just as annoyed with the media coverage as we are.
Anchit Bhagat definitely both
Camera and lighting needs to step up their game . 😔
I watched this interview at work on break and almost got fired bc i fell asleep and was extra late
Damn...I bet Tina would be easier to interview than Gelo
Andrew Essman dead asf 🤣🤣🤣😂
Waittttt lol
Reporter: We found a cure to cancer
Gelo: I just love playing basketball I’m just here to play
I feel uncomfortable watching this but I don’t know why lol.
Yoooooo 8:07 ...who idea was it to air this cringy ass awkward interview
Amazing vid!
So much energy and passion
I'm sorry but Gelo and Melo have the worse interviewing skills of any athlete I've ever watched in my life. Its as if they've only talked to their family throughout their lives. Don't get me wrong, I'm hoping they do well but it seems that their father has talked for them for so long that they don't know what to say. I think both still need to further their education.
Sheemea Carr because they are asking weird and annoying question at a 16 years old kid ?
They’re millenialls. Kids these days are not used to talking. This interview would be fire if they have used iMessage :-)
They shoot hoops & count millions. Who cares
hahhahaha. no bitch.
so its awkward now to not have an opinion about everything? they just raised a different and refreshing way i guess :D fine with me ....
My man on Riverdale
LAVAR RUNS LITHUANIA
*The nba and Lithuania
Neva loss!!!!
lmao
He looks like he hates this man ahahahaha.
This interview is cringy AF. Dude is a cyborg.
Jeff Goodman was great in this interview!
Most boring interview of all time!!!!!!!!
best interview of 2018
If Melo is a pro ball player he's eligible for any pro league in the world its up to owners of the franchise to purchase the player and the players agent to negotiate the best contract posible on behalf of the player.and also the scouts the franchise send out to review the player's.
If I remember correctly Kobe was 17 when he came to the league. I may be wrong tho lol
That was in 1996.. The rules changed you have to be one year out of highschool and be atleast 18. He can't go to the NBA next year.
Okay so my next question liangelo... tell me what your first time spelling Lithuania was like ????
Liangelo: “ it was cool..I mean it was hard but I liked it”
Has anyone ever looked more uncomfortable in interviews then Liangelo.
His smile though ❤️
This is literally a watered down bootleg interview from an old episode of forensic files.
Did he just pull out his phone during an interview? lol
This guy owes his little brother more than words can describe. He totally fucked up the blueprint, and lets be honest. He was only at UCLA because of his brothers. Otherwise he's at Long Beach state or something lower.
travel boy you idiots act like he wasn't one of the leading scorers in the nation. He was the Keating scorer on Chino hills and now you act like he can't play at all.

UCLA gets Zo and Melo, but they don't have time for the far less talented brother and the BS he pulled. Just don't be a tard and you can attend UCLA (because we want your brothers). He's not good enough.
Stfu u bum ass nigga u just mad u not in his place . Stop hatin.
He was ranked 15th in his class. He was definitely going to UCLA being a 5 star recruit.
Fredderick MD this is about Gelo, not Melo. Gelo who you see in this video was ranked 226th overall in the nation, 50th best in the nation at his position, and 21st overall in just California. He was at best a 3 star recruit.

9:42, How can you ask a kid a question like that? The interviewer asked that question as if Lavar is some random guy. Thats their father, and thats disrespectful to ask
No questions about him being a thief?!? Wow
Gregg Steinbucks whatever he's a scumbag
Sculpin u talking shit about a 19 year old
BJ FAMILY 18 is an adult. He's an adult... He's a piece of shit thief plus he's overrated and I'd say it to his face too.
Sculpin go watch him on the breakfast club... they covered it on that
More Ball, please!
Keep it up, ESPN.
Gelo will make it in the street rap game before he ever makes it to the NBA😂😂
Chicken Legs Productions 😂
ESPN wassup with this damn camera man???
The most awkward interview ever!!!!
Imagine lamelo and liangelo getting coached by mike d’ Antonio that shit would get ugly jacking up half courts everywhere
It's liking talking to a brick wall
I like how right now as I clicked this his younger bro at almost 3x as many views and Lavar about 10x more.......im not exaggerating.
Liangelo ain’t much of a people’s person is he? Lol so blank, blah, n non caring.
This interviewer literally asked the same question to both brothers in separate interviews. Shouldve just had them both there. ESPN working hard for views.
Why this guy still getting interviews he playing in Lithuania cause he had no potential in college. He probably won’t be any good against no-talents in Lithuania.
Andy Gulyassy you’re uneducated on the game of basketball.
Yet he's still earning $20k/ game on top of the other money he's earning. The only family with their own tab on ESPN lol. The only basketball player with their own newspaper deal with USA Today at Lonzowire.usatoday.com , the only basketball family with a tv show. There's definitely reasons to interview them.
Shrek, The Mighty Ogre Who Layered Your Chicc and you do???
Andy Gulyassy sit yo ass down
Andy Gulyassy "probably" how about let them play first
These interviewers can’t shake the Ball Boys branches I love how they conduct there interviews. They Destroy this Guy Everytime haha.
Kid sees himself in the nba next year lmao
Col Marion he throws balls in a circle so yeah he s way better than me
flo1794 lmao good one but same time he got more money than us combined
dherice_treats good for him i have more than enough
Col Marion and you care too much about this kid, kid.
Col Marion did i hurt your feelings little boy?
Liangelo is so HYPE BRO, CANT WAIT BRO Lithuania isn't READY BRO
The interviewer is just making nonsense questions,... and he knew it though!! 😝
His questions were good. LiAngelo was making the interview tough with his no charisma ass
He’ll get better at the interview part of this career. A little media training & he’ll be well on his way. He basically went from high school to this so media wasn’t a big part of his day to day like Zo in college. Melo did pretty well considering his college. Gelo seem like he just afraid of saying anything he might get in trouble for. They’ll get better. Wish the best for em.
Not media trained.
LiAngelo is on his way, he just has to be more aggressive in the game and work harder if he wants to be in the NBA next year.
Irrelevant
Sir Stretch yo mamma
4:53 I'm dead💀💀
This guy is so awkward and predictable with these answers.
Gotta respect the hustle. Ball boys just want to ball. Period.
feels like vladtv
I am a little surprised they didn't edit this video or any of the other interviews.Those moments of awkward silence are rough
Maaaan, dude thinks he's gonna play in NBA next year!!! AHAHA, looll
I'm waiting for " well you know I need to see you with a REAL agent and I'm the only one here" 😂
WTF this fool supposed to be in jail right?
No
Ronnie Darko si
Ronnie Darko. Dumbass
Schadenfreude
Ronnie Darko yeup. Daddy Trump saved his ass. Lol
he's broken inside... he let his family and gf down and now this is the result
