The team put together the series in order to get LiAngelo and LaMelo Ball playing time against other teenagers.
Vytautas plays in two different leagues: the Lithuanian league, which counts in the standings, and the Big Baller Brand. The team is 4-16 and in last place in the Lithuanian league, which features increased competition and older players than the Big Baller Challenge.
He's honestly probably not spending much at all, but I dont think the dude was poor to begin with either. ESPN/Fox/ect are giving him all the media and advertising he needs for free. The 'BBB Challenge' crap is probably funded by whatever random team they signed with as part of their contract. Based on the lead time for any of the actual BBB products, they probably arent even being made until they have been paid for. For all the crap he deservingly gets, hes a really good person at marketing to idiots like @bruinHow is he not going broke doing all this dumb shit? I guess Lonzo has to bankroll this operation.
Reel plzi think this will help pave the way for some other people to avoid dealing with the NCAA
what?Reel plz
all it is, is another option mayne
there isnt a monopoly on overseas basketball
isnt chino hills supposed to be some affluent area?I would love to know where LaVar's income came from before the circus. It has always baffled me.
How did LaVar Ball get his money before the Big Baller Brand? There are images of the boys at a younger age in their current house, a big house in CA.

LaVar Ball

How did I get my money? Earned it. Go earn your money then you get you a big house. It ain’t hard, but it’s hard. Only if it’s work.
and you know this how?They don't pay you for living there

The real answer is he didn't do shit. His wife is an AD and prolly makes 6 figures. They lived off that and now he is exploiting his kids. What a great dad!
you say exploit, i say help provide an opportunityNot falling for it.
But, if that isn't a trap, then you need to look up the definition of exploit and then you will have answered your own question.
relax...it was a joke
Why. Why are you like this.what?
until the NBA makes a legitimate alternative, BBB could be something viable for people to go play abroad or other overseas type programs
How exactly has he helped them? Lonzo is by all accounts a very humble and polite young man, yet he is likely the most hated guy in the NBA because of his dad. The other one just lost out on a free education from UCLA and is sucking ass over in Lithuania. The third kid is supposed to be in high school and is also sucking ass in Lithuania and receiving no education so he can peddle shitty shoes.you say exploit, i say help provide an opportunity

How did anyone ever make it to the NBA without all that help from LAVAR?
Why. Why are you like this.
Lonzo has been playing well and I havent heard/read anything negative about his father as it relates to Lonzo.
Why do you need BBB? You can go play overseas without any oversight necessary lol. Plus then you don't have to deal with a sexist, rude egomaniac!what?

Or at least you wouldn't have to deal with an american sexist, rude egomaniac. They are playing in Europe after all. No shortage of sexist, rude egomaniacs there.Why do you need BBB? You can go play overseas without any oversight necessary lol. Plus then you don't have to deal with a sexist, rude egomaniac!
im not trolling, i left out "LATELY"...i haven't seen/read anythingDidn't even read past this. Ho lee fuk man are you serious? Now I know you are trolling. I don't even follow the NBA and the only stories I have heard about Lonzo relate to his father ripping the Lakers corches and making an ass out of hisself weekly.
Can you even name the father of a single other professional athlete that didn't already have fame prior to becoming the father of a pro? That should tell you something right there. This shit isn't normal and it is fucked up and exploitative.
i didnt say anyone needed BBB, i just said it was another alternativeWhy do you need BBB? You can go play overseas without any oversight necessary lol. Plus then you don't have to deal with a sexist, rude egomaniac!
People didn’t play in Europe before Lavar?
i disagree but it seems you just dislike him, and thats ok. You are entitled to feel the way you do.Lavar is like one of those mothers that dress their 5 year old daughters up like whores and take them to beauty pageants.
But when you disagree with facts, it really isn't ok.i disagree but it seems you just dislike him, and thats ok. You are entitled to feel the way you do.
i dont think its as unlimited as you say, so maybe thats an exaggeration on your part, but lets say there are...again, whats wrong with more?@ou-11 get in here to explain to @Reel that there are pretty much unlimited opportunities to play abroad for any decent college player, let alone those who have the talent to make the NBA.
But when you disagree with facts, it really isn't ok.
The earth is round. If you disagree, that really isn't ok. It just makes you wrong.
He is exploiting his kids. If you disagree, you are just wrong.
And of course I don't like him. What is there to like?
well we are looking at it from two different sets of lensesBut when you disagree with facts, it really isn't ok.

serious question, can you predict the future in 5 years? how do you know BBB wont continue to grow and it becomes a viable option?BBB isn’t an option doe... not unless ur last name is Ball
I grew up with an overbearing father constantly trying to manipulate his children into becoming decorated mathematicians because he was too much of a pansy shit to step out of his own father's shadow and become his own man. The lingering resentment I've had regarding this has fucked with me for a long time.
So I take LaVar's parenting tactics personally, it's horribly obvious that he coached up his kids at basketball because he was such a spectacular failure (relatively to how he sees himself, anyway). I'm never gonna hate on somebody for being entrepreneurial in general, but this motherfucker has no credentials to suggest competence nor does he seem in touch with reality. The only people here that I see sticking up for him are the ones who seem to suggest that pandering to retards is a skill that deserves to be commended. But that's emblematic of American culture, unfortunately, shameless opportunists are considered "genius" and conscientious detractors are just fuckin HATERS BROOOOOOO
