PG tweeted (and deleted) about being traded to Boston.

I saw the 15 minute clip. He did threaten her. Told her "you got something" then she called him out on it and he backed off saying he wasn't a psychic. He handled that horribly and he appearnly likes to dish it out but can't take any heat himself. What a p#ssy.
Qwerty is swayed by the blond hair and pretty face.
While Lavar was being harsh, Leahy is not innocent in this. As j$ said, she was saying some opinionated stuff about how he raised his sons prior to this interview so there was already tension and then she goaded him on.
It's all about context as I felt that way after the initial reports, but there is more to this than just that interview.
He was referencing what she already trashed him about and said "if you act like that then you got something coming to you" ie karma but she took it as a threat and played victim then later threw in discrimination against women and fat people (which that other dude deserves because he is a fat troll). Lahey doesn't even make any sense how she wouldn't wear something that says big Baller Brand. Not like she wearing LeBron stuff.
Think? He did mean karma. She just got it twisted.
That's the thing. He is arrogant and says stuff that irrates peeps. That's why people pile on him for this. However, to be objective... Lahey was in the wrong here.
He was trying to ignore her, he told her to keep out of his conversation with Colin ("stay in your lane") and then any response he gave her, she twisted it into something else like threats, disrespecting women, etc.
If you don't want to market your brand to women, is that really disrespecting them? And BTW, BBB does have women's t-shirts, just not shoes.
Again, everyone was initially jumping to side with the "hot blonde", but once people started looking at the context and the previous comments Leahy had said about Lavar, she wasn't so innocent.
Which again, Leahy elevated, saying that now Lavar was discriminating against overweight people.
She just has it out for him because she doesn't like him, and her and Whitlock had been criticizing Lavar for a few weeks before this interview.
If you're gonna' talk trash while he's not there to defend himself... and then when he gets there, do you really think he's going to be nice to you?
I think Lavar should calm it down... but in this case, he was justified in his responses.
Well... if you want to be technical, he didn't call Whitlock "fat", he just said that he may know more about snacks than how he raises his son. I don't think you guys are looking at the previous comments made by Leahy and Whitlock while Lavar was not there to respond to that criticism:
So not only did Whitlock insult Lavar, but also Lonzo. And to add to this, I don't think Whitlock is even married or has kids, so what does he know about raising sons the right way?
http://liverampup.com/entertainment...-married-does-wishes-have-wife-ready-yet.html
So yeah, maybe he does know more about snacks than raising a son.
There is also no such thing as "bad press". Why do you think everyone wants Lavar Ball interviews? His sound bites are everywhere. Call it the Kardashian Effect but pending disaster interests people.
Will it be a distraction for the Lakers? Sure. But wasn't Kobe? Wasn't Shaq? Wasn't Metta? After these last 4 boring seasons of the Lakers, don't you want some spice?
Ball may be the worst... or best thing to happen to the Lakers.
What has Ball really said that would offend these sponsors?
Has he been disrespectful to women? Or did he just have an argument with Leahy who happens to be female?
Did he say anything derogatory about overweight people as a whole? Or did he just have a beef with someone and make a joke about their eating habits after he criticized his parenting.
It's all about context which you keep ignoring.
And you keep on ignoring the fact his comments are controversial.
"After UCLA was eliminated from the NCAA tournament by Kentucky in March, LaVar said, "Realistically you can't win no championship with three white guys because the foot speed is too slow. "
http://lancasteronline.com/sports/b...cle_b2645178-335d-11e7-82d7-fb1ad30422cb.html
No I'm not. You are pulling a Leahy on me.
What I have said is that they are not controversial enough (yet) to worry about sponsors dropping Laker contracts.
I just asked you if you think they are too controversial and you have not answered.
And even after that NCAA comment, Lonzo's stock has not dropped for the draft.
Look at the last NFL draft for players who were drafted that actually did something controversial (like domestic violence).

Lots can happen between now and next year. I say we have 51 percent chance as of now.
Watch the video. It's Funny. (Click the link for videos)
"The latest drama came as Ball, who is the father of departing UCLA point guard Lonzo and incoming UCLA shooting guard LiAngelo, squared off with Kristine Leahy, who is Colin Cowherd?s co-host. Leahy has been critical of Big Baller Band and Ball decided that he did not want to speak to or look at her during the interview.
So he spent the entire interview with his back to Leahy, telling her to ?stay in her lane? on two different occasions. Ball also said that ?I never disrespect women, but if you act like that, guess what: something?s coming to you.?"
http://collegebasketball.nbcsports....var-ball-to-kristine-leahy-stay-in-your-lane/
There?s a lot of backlash already swirling around Lonzo Ball that has everything to do with his father, LaVar.
That includes these tweets from the sister of Philadelphia 76ers guard Ben Simmons, who will be a rookie like Ball despite the fact that he was drafted first overall last year and sat out 2016-17 due to injury.
Here?s what she said after the elder Ball went on The Herd and threatened co-host Kristine Leahy, who had noted the Big Baller Brand might work better with bigger-named apparel companies if it catered to women more:
I hope my brother dunks on lonzo ball so hard next year that his daddy runs on the court to help him up???

As much of a douche that Lavar is, this was Christine playing victim and crying sheep.
She had gotten on him days before this saying that his sons were terrified of him. Then he ignores her and calls her a hater. She throws in things like are you threatening me and disrespecting women bs. That was far from what happened.

This article has a different take:
https://bossip.com/1558802/why-im-t...-battle-with-colin-cowherd-and-rose-armitage/
Basically Leahy and Whitlock piled on Lavar a bit prior so he was already pre-loaded.
If someone, man or woman, implied that I abused my kids, I would tell them to stay in their lane.
And he didn't threaten her, he basically said that if you're going to say unfounded things about people like that, karma will get you. Which she immediately twisted into a "threat". He did not say "*I* am going to do something to you".
And now after this show she's going on air twisting what happened even more.

You guys must be gay. How can you not take the side of the hot blonde 
He doesn't have to say "I" to make it a threat. You guys really think he meant karma? The main issue is that he didn't keep his composure, he is a clown. She was critical of him previously, he could have been critical of her but kept it professional. This guy is like talentless Stephen a smith

I think you need to go back and view it again. He wasn't "threatening" her in the way she implied (like physically). He was basically saying that if she continues to say unfounded stuff about him, it will come back to her.qwerty said:
He actually was trying to stay professional.
He was trying to ignore her, he told her to keep out of his conversation with Colin ("stay in your lane") and then any response he gave her, she twisted it into something else like threats, disrespecting women, etc.

"Ball also managed to sneak in a shot at another FOX talking head, Jason Whitlock, who he said ?can?t comment on anything but snacks.?

Below is a list of the Lakers corporate partners (sponsors).
http://www.nba.com/lakers/news/corporate_partners/
Let me give you a scenario. If Ball gets selected by the Lakers. Would you not be concern about the dad's comments if you were one of the Lakers corporate sponsor?
Also, would parents buy Ball's jersey?
(Remember it's all about the business)
