I mean they're the same people that think watching Skip Bayless and Steven A Smith jerk each other off is entertaining/informative but still. How is this guy funny for more than 10 seconds after you start to realize he might actually be serious/believe the shit he himself is saying?
I really hope this guy just goes away and doesn't hover around his sons career's (as far as the media is concerned I mean).

The "he's just being a supportive father" and "who are we to tell him how to raise his kids?" arguments get trotted out a lot too, as if that nullifies all criticism.
Again, I realise that by starting and continuing to have a conversation about him, I'm part of the problem. He has our attention and we're talking about him, so we're all part of the problem. I have to admit though, pointing out what he's doing and muttering to each other "Can you believe this guy?" is pretty damn cathartic.

For all the recent focus on LaVar and his one-man media tour – the endless string of interviews full of cocky claims and premature promises, coupled with insults at everyone from Stephen Curry to Charles Barkley and Michael Jordan – the consensus among front office executives who discussed the matter with USA TODAY Sports this week was that his draft stock won’t be harmed by his father’s controversial style. As one general manager put it, and many other executives confirmed in various forms when consulted on the matter, “No one’s paying attention to Ball’s father.”
