LMAO at those calling lavar an entrepreneur or saying gotta respect his hustle. No different than a 5 yr old coming up to you and asking you to give him money. GTFO with that bull .
If it’s a one and done player a scholarship isn’t enough compensation because that kid isn’t going to be using the scholarship. It would make far more sense to pay him money. On top of that these players are generating millions of dollars of revenue while basically playing for free. Scholarship is nice for the 4 year player who has no chance of going pro, but for pro bound players it really doesn’t make sense. If you know you are pro bound you are never using that degree tbh
That’s the motivation to stay the 4 years, players wanna take a gamble on themselves and try to make a pro career then more power to them. Hopefully they won’t ever need the college degree that they were offered for playing.
Where do you think the money goes that “these player generate”? It costs millions of dollars to run a program, fund team travel, arena, program staff, marketing. The program itself is almost entirely funded by the money the program generates. Y’all really don’t have any idea how any of this works.
That's dumb. He's an idiot.
The day Lonzo tells this ass-hat he calls a Dad to piss off, is the day he has a shot at a decent pro career..
Who the Yanks a 16 year old kid out of HS to go and play pro ball overseas? He never finishes HS and even plays 1 minute in college, to play for some dog pro team overseas, and this ing idiot thinks that is going to impress pro scouts and get him drafted in the first round. Nobody is ever going to touch a Ball ever again anywhere in the NBA because of him. His boys can thank him for this..
Your not really going to pretend schools don’t turn a huge profit on their basketball and football programs are you? Specifically big schools. ing Christ, talk about delusional. I’m done with this convo your clearly a lost cause
Lavar is trying to build his own brand and using his kids to do it. He doesn't give two s about the normal way, he sees it as making everyone rich besides his own family. I get it, but someone who has a shot at a pro career cannot afford what Lavar is doing to them. Lavar doesn't understand the difference between "rich" and "wealthy". He's penny wise, pound foolish.
but you're not ok with college athletes being overpaid for their services
Guys like this were selling snake oil in the old times. Now they're celebs
thumbs up for the bold.
at LeGM James:
I see your back at it attempting to protect the brotha from the white man...lol. The guys a big mouth idiot and lucked out having one son in the NBA. I seriously doubt the other two are on anyone's draft radar and Lonzo might be out of the league in a few years unless he learns to shoot.
Yeah they do, and why shouldn’t they? Where else does motivation come from to develop a winning program? Generate funds, excess funds, and generations of rabid fans and enrollees
Wow that was easy
Uhh...yeah? Pro athletes get overpaid for their services. Body ha given a legitimate argument for why college athletes should get paid beyond free education
Boiled down:::LeGM won a ring. GM Kobe ran off Shaq, ran off MVPau, and destroyed the Lakers' franchise.
that shiiiiiiittttttttttt!!!!!
And presidents
today's NBA
today's USA
^ Maaaaaaaad
Kobe 5, LeGM 3
Still giving the credit for Shaq and MVPau's rings to a role player instead. Sad!
Whitlock said it best: "his narcissism and selfishness destroyed a franchise." And he wasn't referring to LeGOAT.
Trump Nation?
-1,500 points (per pound) for quoting WhaleLock!
He was right about KobePERIOD
Whitlock
Also who will watch this ?? No allegiance to a team. People typically root for a university due to being alumni or having some type of history with a program. Even if it’s just bring a fan. That alone Trumps Lavars idea. No name teams with scattered future stars. I can’t see it working.
At least in the NBA players and coaches are paid roughly proportionally to their impact on winning.
If the same was true of the NCAA and their coaches were still making big bucks it's all good. But coaches making millions and players not being allowed to get any (serious) cash is awful imo.
