You've colored it that way from the jump to disguise the fact that you just didn't like their father and his moves. You've mentioned "what's best for his kids" throughout your narrative.

If I shoot at your homie but hit you in the head instead, are you any less dead?
Only a hater would say some isht like the post I quoted. Do you, homie. There's no point in further discussion.

so no one gonna talk about the kids that did collect money and they cant go to college now?
so ....are they abandoned in the JBA?
take his kid out and put him back in high school and make plans to go to duke or where ever....the very college system he bashed and people blindly followed him with doing it....he talked shit the whole way...and now hes back trying to benefit off the system he lied about and tarnished?
but did the jba even have time to develop into something to say it failed? or is it about not getting his way yet again...so imma take my "ball" and go home.
now what about the other 50plus kids that believed in him and followed this dream
whos looking out for them? wasnt 1 or 2 of them college bound?
anyone trying to get them back in school? oh..wait..they cant go back now.
this is why most of the top high schoolers didnt follow this...hes not about anyone but himself.
now before anyone says....they wasnt going to college anyway or they wasnt good enough......then why root for this? why support something when the kids wasnt good enough to compete on the level of college?
i am all for supporting a black mans dream....but he must believe in his own dream as well. am i right?
this microwave mentality is whats the problem here. i dont want to wait i want it now...shit.
where was the patience in any of this? since the beginning?
and yes, i looked at it funny since the beginning...cause while the idea was great....the leader was not.
and alot of very successful people said the same.
just admit...he gamed yall into believing he was serious when you constantly saw him quit
and i will be back when more news comes out.

I dont think their league had anything to do with the NBA G-league offering money to top high school players. It seemed like the most obvious next step for that developmental league. Not to mention Lavar Ball's league did not attract a lot of the high level high school guys like this G-league venture most likely will due to it being connected to the NBA

I liked that Mr.Ball started his own athletic attire and i hope it grows!
I just hope he steps back and allows the prep school coach to actually coach his youngest son so he can get better and kill alot of the bad habbits he has on the court.

It offered an alternative. If the league didn't step up then someone with a better business plan was going to succeed where Ball & company failed. You can believe that the timing is just coincidence if you want. It's been the obvious next step to let these kids go straight to the G.

I never said the timing was a coincidence. Lol. It makes sense for the NBA to offer better payment because more NBA teams now own the rights and work with their G-league counter parts. It is actually starting to be ran like a minor league system instead of a goofy side show. It is slowly becoming like the MLB.
When the G-league 1st started not every NBA team had one now damn near every team does and they use it not just to train up players but also coaches and front office folks. Shit, even the league over all is using it to train up young refs. It has truly turned into a real training ground for the whole league, not to mention they are selling tickets for games more.
I liked the idea Mr. Ball had with forming a league for the kids who did not want to go to the NCAA teams but no matter how much money he would have thrown into it he was starting way behind what the NCAA, Europe, and to a lesser extent G-league exspoure given to the players. Signing with a foreign or G-league team playing against former NBA players or players on the cusp of the league would always beat out a start up league because the scouts will and would take the players abilites more serious against better competition.

Not to mention there was already alternatives that some young men have already exercised in the past. Like going to foreign leagues or just sitting out and training until they were old enough to legally enter the draft.
It was always going to be hard for Mr. Ball to get the top high school players because the risk out weighs the reward playing in an up start league. Not too many top recruits are going to take that leap of faith on their own. Maybe if he could have some how gotten a decent amount of the top recruits to agree to join and get a television or streaming deal to display their talents he might have had a legit shot but he was starting way behind the 8 ball

I'm not sure if you think the JBA, or whatever the hell it was called, had an impact or not. Seems like you made two contradictory statements here.

@DOS_patos out here hating on black men thats "gettin it" and tryin to throw salt on their innovative spirit but i aint tryin to start no trouble
He hate niggas that get it and niggas that dont
#1hiphopjunki3
Go Spurs Go!!
My point was the NBA was building up to the G-league being more viable way before Mr. Ball started the JBA and him starting his venture had nothing to do with them thinking of boosting the pay of players and maybe paying top high school players.
The way i read your quote was you felt his league ambitions helped sway the NBA's plans. Which i believe was not the case
Mister

So why don't you believe the timing was a coincidence? I'm confused.
#1hiphopjunki3

Lmao.
I don't think they have anything to do with each other. I was just stating that i never said anything about the two coinciding
I apologize for the confusion.

Y'all just can't admit dude ain't know what he was doing and was grasping at straws and made it seem he was serious when he wasn't.
And y'all still ain't say shit about the kids still in the jba. What's the plan for them now that they took pay?
So was this all for his kids and ego or was he serious?
