NFT: Lavar Ball again -- any background?

CT Charlie : 7/23/2017 4:33 pm
Probably a lot of us have seen the clip of him pulling his team off the court after he got a technical for protesting a foul call. It was a semifinal game of a tournament, and his team was leading by nine; so his team forfeited the game and a chance at the championship.

The play which finished things looked like a jump ball, but from the ref's angle, it wasn't necessarily a terrible call.

Question: Does anyone know whether his claim of consistently bad/biased calls was remotely legit?

Almost everyone agrees that pulling his team off the court was a loser move.

is pretty terrible, in general.

Up 9 late, he should take his T and STFU. Let the kids get the win and advance.

He's among the biggest fuckheads I've seen in the public eye.
What a selfish POS

Taking away everything those kids worked for just to get some attention for himself.
He's a clown

who has unfortunately put so much pressure on his son...

And for minimum 41 games a year, his son will hear it on the court from the fans...every...night

If ESPN focused on actual sports and analysis for 10% of the time they focus on this clown maybe they wouldn't be circling the drain as a network.
I love his son's game

but hope he fails so I don't have to hear another word from his idiot of a father.

What a POS. This man should not be in 50 miles radius of a youth basketball game besides coaching.

He is the Joe Jackson of basketball, exploiting his kids for his own personal gain.

Fuck him
