lol at all the coverage of lithuanian basketball

The Better Business Bureau has given the Big Baller Brand the lowest rating possible: an F.

On its website, the organization says Big Baller Brand's ratings are based on 32 complaints filed against the business, a failure to respond to 12 of those complaints and five complaints that still haven't been resolved.

Most of the complaints are from people who said they bought an item from the Big Baller website in November and December, and that they were charged for their orders even though that item or items have failed to show up.

"Better Business Bureau is as outdated as the Yellow Pages," LaVar Ball said, in a text, to ESPN. "Who cares about them? Tell them that Yelp! has replaced the Better Business Bureau. We honestly thought the Better Business Bureau was out of business. The new BBB stands for the Big Baller Brand."

that is an extremely donald trump quote

"the new USA stands for United Stable Geniuses of the US"

After LaVar Ball story, Stan Van Gundy says he’ll deny ESPN its usual access https://t.co/GB9jSyp8yy

the lavar story is interesting, on one hand he’s clearly mentally ill and ESPN’s coverage of him is tabloid trash. otoh carlisle was saying things like ESPN owed it to the NBA, its “partner”, to avoid pushing these stories. so this van gundy comment is concerning given the context

the coaches def arent in this to protect journalism

i guess i can see why ppl cover lavar -- he's crazy, says crazy shit, and is a godsend for the hot-take machine. and i guess that extends somewhat to lonzo, despite his being the second-best rookie on a last-place team

but who are these people who want updates about teenagers playing in lithuania? it's not the offseason, there are actual nba games happening now! plus actual college games involving trae young, etc! i mean tebow was at least sent by god to spread his good word and has a built-in audience; why does anyone care about the lesser balls?

because it's weird to send your teen sons to play in lithuania b/c you're killing time until they're allowed to sign with the lakers.

some other players have done it eg brandon jennings tho no one as young as the youngest ball afaik

Nothing will prepare you for the rigors of the NBA like playing hoops against kristaps' homunculi.

i'd be more intrigued if they were playing in magnitogorsk and all their road games involved eight-hour flights on afghan-war-era troop transports like the wnba players get

people care for the same reason people care about all the kardashian siblings

man cmon the kardashians are legends in this game the balls cant even get one show have some respect

lonzo is the star of netflix's fuller house iirc

some other players have done it eg brandon jennings

at least he played in italy!

I have the inside scoop that indeed tons of middle/high schooler athletic kids love and religiously watch Ball in the Family.

the balls are fellow teens that have teen haircuts

someone shd watch it and report back

jfc man

solid plan, tough to argue with

lakers gonna max IT and dump ball

Poor Gelo and Melo :(

gelos not gonna make the league, melo will prob get drafted, the plan is a non starter, maybe some team will sign gelo to their g league team idk

I'd like to see Melo at least play in one of the better Lithuanian basketball leagues before I'd draft him

all the hs basketball sites have him listed as a 5 star prospect which doesnt guarantee getting drafted especially since hes only (the age of) a junior but it does give him a pretty good shot

there's prob a few players in the NBA worth three roster spots but i don't think lonzo is going to be one of them

wonder if the lakers wld take a mulligan on drafting ball just based on this wacky dad

there's prob a few players in the NBA worth three roster spots but i don't think lonzo is going to be one of them

I think if lebron's GM misadventures have taught us anything it's that this is not true

if lebron's GM misadventures have taught us anything it's that it is true? tho maybe just for him

there were years there where lebron + james jones + udonis haslem was basically a three person lebron james roster spot that every team would have accepted in a heartbeat

lebron + james jones + *mike miller
