Is he a bad person?

We are talking about all of this in relation to Lavar raising 3 sons, who I personally think turned out pretty well.

You disagree?

you know them personally?

and you think he’s a “better person” than 99% of the rest of the world?

lol

get out more

Were you calling him a dud?

I was calling him a dud and I explained why.
Once again, this doesn't make him a "bad person" per se but he was dumb enough to get himself arrested in China and basically get booted off his college team. He hasn't played in the NBA. To me, based on his father's hype for him, that = "dud".

Do you consider Lavar a good father? I do, strangely enough.

Tough for me to give you a definitive yes or no. Without giving it much thought......
Do I think he loves his kids and has provided for them? Yes. That makes him a good father in my eyes/mind.
Do I think he has pimped out his kids and has used them for HIS advantage? Yes. That makes him a bad father in my eyes/mind.

I don't think he pimped them out for "his" advantage.

I think he publicly acted wild as fuck because it made them all money. Got them a reality show. Made them all household names.

If we are being honest, none of us should even know who Gelo is.

Who?

What's with the LeBron bashing from Mario?

Many, many badass legends (players AND coaches) from the NBA have stated that playing against MJ led to a LOT of sleepless nights.
Yes, they were scared and intimidated.

I have only heard a few of these legends say the same about Kobe.

Not many have said the same about LeBron.

I guess that just means Jordan played in an era of scaredy cats.

uh oh, "Deleted User 863", someone get me up to speed on what happened to Illy please.

He deleted his account.
He has done this before.

Probably feels like LeBron could have talked him up in NBA circles and extended Chalmers NBA career a few more years.

Call me crazy (I am) but I believe LESS players RESPECTED Jordan than those who respect LeBron today.
I do believe SOME players feared Jordan mainly because Jordan was disrespectful of/towards them.
