Yeah honestly he’s an incredibly supportive dad. He’s just too eccentric for a lot of people. He didn’t try to ruin his sons’ careers like Big Nic has and they’ve all become successful. He rubbed me off the wrong way at first like for some but in the end his kids have all achieved their dreams and he believed in them the entire time and pushed them to do so.
Ball wanted the best and was willing to take attention off them in the media to help them get the best. Lonzo did the 1 year at UCLA with 4 other NBA players around him. They went 31-5 and made a Sweet Sixteen as a 3 seed.
For LaMelo the NCAA was likely making him ineligible because of the Big Baller Brand shoe coming out (the exact thing NIL now allows). So his dad said F 'em and LaMelo played a few years of pro ball to improve his game until he got drafted in the NBA.
And as pointed out LiAngelo now has a 8 to 13 million dollar deal with Def Jam as he's moved to pursuing music.
