Normally I agree with this but I think professional wrestling and Lavar were made for each other.

Dallas Mavericks: Generations
"All my boys are gonna be one-and-done. Gelo [LiAngelo] is going [to] be one-and-done whether he's good or bad," LaVar told ESPN. "I'm going to put him in the draft, hope they don't take him. Bring him into the Lakers as a free agent, let him wind up with his brother and watch how good they play together."
http://www.cbssports.com/college-basketball/news/lavar-ball-ucla-bound-sons-liangelo-lamelo-will-be-one-and-done/

‘I told my boys that one of them wasn’t going to make it. Because if you’ve got three, only one, maybe two make it to the NBA.’ He [LaVar] says, right in front of everyone, that he thinks it’ll be his middle son, LiAngelo, who doesn’t make it. He says he’s told him that. ‘He’s going to be taken care of either way,’ he says. At least Gelo is the handsomest of his sons, he says—if basketball doesn’t work out, maybe he could be a model.’
http://heavy.com/sports/2017/06/liangelo-ball-lonzo-ball-brothers-height-stats-highlights-ucla/

It's still weird that he didn't bring LiAngelo to WWE. Is he already doing things with UCLA for next season or something? Forcing LiAngelo to enter the draft regardless of if he is good or bad at UCLA seems like a terrible move. Let him enjoy being on UCLA if he doesn't think he'll make it to the league.

well the whole goal in setting it this late was to extend the regular season several weeks into the offseason and invent a new thing to get more eyeballs at a time when nobody's watching NBA on tv. who knows how it did but based off my own lack on enthusiasm im gonna guess hardly anyone watched it

It might have worked better had the conference finals not been sweeps and the finals a gentleman's sweep. Like, since mid-may, we've only had 5 games when there could have been 13. Its no shock that it feels like the season ended ages ago

Without question. I've never seen anyone with the touch Jordan had around the rim. Not even close. I can't even imagine trying to guard him.
