You know, you have got to hand it to LaVar Ball. It takes a truly special kind of delusion to hear "we don't want your son to take FIFTY shots a game" and absorb it as "we don't want your son on the team". In fact, you might say it takes that same type of delusion to pull your kid out of high school because the atmosphere surrounding said high school has become a circus when you were unquestionably the ringmaster of that circus. That's why I couldn't be more interested in sitting in on one of these homeschoolings. I'd be absolutely stunned if LaVar Ball assigned a reading from a single book that wasn't personally engineered by the brain of LaVar Ball, so his distorted view of reality would simply have to provide an entertaining curriculum. We are talking about a guy that might actually believe he was better than both Rob Gronkowski and Michael Jordan despite maxing out athletically as New York Jets' roster fodder. You think he's paying much attention to degrees and credentials? Are you seriously convinced he's concerned with creating a syllabus that suits societal standards? Those classes will be about as historically accurate as its teacher's appearances on 'First Take', and I couldn't be more on board with LaMelo soaking them all in. Seriously, who cares about the ramifications that studying and training under someone who is at least partially crazy could have on LaMelo's future? That ship likely already sailed once the signature shoe of a high schooler was metaphorically used to stomp on the foot of an organization as uptight as the NCAA. At this point, LaMelo's collegiate career has already been put in jeopardy so his father might as well sneak some of that irrational confidence into the lesson plan to make up for the difference in talent between him and his professional PG of a brother. Screw 'Algebra' and 'Biology', if LaVar wants to make sure his youngest son attains long term success then he should start hammering home that 'Big Baller Brand' business acumen that basically just requires you to be the brashest person in the room at all times. The chances that - combined with backpacking his sibling's success in Hollywood - proves profitable is probably higher than the chances of a kid who skipped out on high school and may have shunned college while making a mockery of AAU ball has a final destination in the NBA.
