This is a post about basketball, but I will not be sharing any numbers of LaMelo and LiAngelo Ball performances with Prienai Vytautas team. I believe one of them scored like 40 points in one of those games, but who cares, right? I mean they are literally playing against kids in exhibition matches which their father organized. Also, I believe it was told to all the teams that defense was forbidden because all the matches (40 minutes compared to 48 minutes in NBA) end up something like 155-150. It is ridiculous, but I guess one might say that NBA All-Star game never ends in Prienai.
Anyway, LiAngelo and LaMelo proved nothing just yet. I stick to my first impression that they both lack any discipline whatsoever, but LaMelo has a huge talent, especially when it comes to fast breaks and dishing assists. As for LiAngelo, he is an average player who is capable of having an average stats in Europe. However, both kids are not yet ready to compete against professionals just yet, and there is nothing wrong with that (at least for LaMelo who is 16). And still, Luka Doncic was already one of the leaders of Real Madrid, top 4 teams in Europe, at the age of 17. So go figure.
But forget Ball brothers. They are outdated already. Ball father is the real deal these days. LaVar Ball decided that he can replace coach Virginijus Seskus at Ball Brother Ultra Mega Challenge Best Tournament In The World (or whatever that exhibition league is called). So, LaVar was an assisting coach in one game but that was not enough, and he became a head coach for one match while Virginijus Seskus took a day-off and enjoyed the show. Seskus must be a happy man, he got Ball brothers to come to his team, he got all the attention in the sports world, and now he doesn't even have to do his job anymore. And the money keeps flowing in. Good job, Seskus!
What about LaVar Ball? Well, let's just say he is not the best coach in the world. What a surprise, right? I mean, who could have thought that you need some experience and knowledge to become a head coach of a professional basketball team? Well, if you still have any doubts about LaVar being the best coach ever, watch this pregame speech he gave to his team:
Let's run fast and have some fun. That sounds like the best thing to say to the professional basketball players before the game. I mean, any 9-year-old kid would say "Damn, coach, don't you have any insights to share?" Of course, LaVar won his debut game as the head coach, but once again - he is the guy who created the BBB Challenge tournament so... well, you understand.
Guys, do you think this show can get any more ridiculous or we already reached the peak in January and from now on things will just become boring and people will forget who the hell is that Ball family?
