College Basketball

[Weasel]

You're going down Weasel!!!!!

This has been one of the most inconsistent and frustrating MSU teams to watch that I can remember, and its not even their fault really. Lost both bigs to season ending injuries before the season even started, so relying heavily on 4 freshman which means lots of mistakes. The silver lining has been Bridges, that dude is a pro and is special to watch.

Best case for MSU is to beat Miami followed by a competitive loss vs Kansas. Worst case is getting blown out my Miami, which is also very possible

I think Wichita State can make a deep run if they can get past Kentucky (who I am picking to win it all).

Some upset picks:
Middle Tennessee State
Vermont
UNC Wilmington
Duck City

I cannot stand the Ball's dad. Hes a goof. I get its your kids but lol, some of the shit he says

"You talking about a dad, me, that talks too much? I know some of these dads are not even there," LaVar said. "Alcoholics, drunks, waiting for their son to make it. 'Hurry up, son, we in poverty right now, hurry up.'"

earlier in article

"A billion dollars, it has to be there," the outspoken father told USA TODAY Sports' Josh Peter. "That's our number, a billion, straight out of the gate. And you don't even have to give it to me all up front. Give us $100 mil over 10 years."

forgot Daddy Ball was playing as well..

I'm all for u hyping your kid up but this guy comes off as a fuckboy. plus his oldest son looks awkward as shit.

This is the same kid that has his own brand out of UCLA right? I saw one small snippet on TV 2 weeks ago and was like WTF is going on here. Why would a university want to deal with this kind of distraction (because he is good yea I know, but hell)

The one at UCLA?



Also, he seems to be a crazy genius. Bit of both, legit crazy/meddling dad. But also, what he's doing is creating so much buzz that as of right now, that's good for the 3 kids. Obviously, if he's still in the press making Steph Curry type quotes when his kid is 23 years old in the NBA, that could be an issue. But as of now, he's created an entire brand around the 3 of them, solid marketing.

The problem is that the middle kid isn't that good.

I thought that's the youngest one, the little one who scored 92?

[LetsGoPeay]

The youngest one is legit. The middle kid will struggle at UCLA. He's not very athletic and will be a major liability on defense. No more half court cherry picking for him will be trouble.

the dad also said hed beat Jordan 1v1 in his prime.. .. yikes

[shel311]

Fascinating!

My favorite parts:

Showing he might have a better chance going mouth-to-mouth with Barkley than one-on-one with Jordan, Ball told Colin Cowherd of Fox Sports 1, “If Charles thought like me, maybe he'd win a championship.”

It’s worth noting that Ball played basketball for Washington State during the 1987-88 season and averaged 2.2 points, 2.3 rebounds a game

Also, does anyone know, is he like a famous or semi-famous personal trainer? Wife's a PE teacher, he has a dude on his payroll just to keep tabs on the UCLA kid, and 2 of the boys have $100k BMWs.

cant knock his drive n confidence and he has the suge knight mentality.. but still hes a goof.

there are plenty of ways to monetize the kids, somewhat legally and without ruining their eligibility

I see he has the BBB brand, maybe that does pretty well.

New, outspoken Lebron might not hold back like Steph did.

Though this is probably not the type of topic that he'll take a shot at someone, but it would be funny.

[nick]

i think takin a shot at anyones kid will get a reaction.

Barkley also said he'd face Ball 1v1
