Is LaVar Ball a good dad? A bad dad? something else? Interesting article.
At first I thought he was nuts. Now I think he's a genius. Dude knows exactly what he's doing and he's gaming the system for max profits. He's the ultimate promoter - the bald Don King - except he's even more brash, because he created this machine from the beginning.

Every time I see the guy has said something with max shock value (I could beat MJ 1 on 1, my kids will only play for the Lakers, etc), LaVar is on TV in his BBB gear pimping his brand and his kids. It gets retweeted and run on national news. They talk about it on TNT during NBA games. We all call him an delusional idiot. Meanwhile, he's cashing checks.

It can't be argued that these guys will have money and "success" as LaVar sees it. It will be interesting, however, to see how well the kids adjust once they become adults and move on. Will they implode? Or look back and thank their dad for creating them?

Read this. It's worth the few minutes.
