I think if all three of my boys get on the Lakers somehow, they would change the NBA.
— LaVar Ball
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.
Look at Steve Kerr - he's the Milli Vanilli of coaching.
If you don't have the coach, you're out of luck. So you can get as many players as you want, if you don't have a system or you don't understand what you're getting ready to do, you're not going to win.
I been in Russia, Germany, Denmark, Switzerland, London. I'm all over the place being loud.
I'm not one of those people that's to myself and just quiet. I've never been like that, man. I've always been kind of loud. I'm out there, man. I do my thing, but I don't do it disrespectful. But when people rub me the wrong way, I rub people the wrong way. But I say what I say and I mean what I say.
My legacy is always going to be fine.
You don't coach a Magic Johnson, you don't coach a LeBron, you don't coach really a Lonzo. They understand the game, they smart, they understand.
Not everyone wants to go to school. Some guys might be blessed with being 6'10 and running and jumping better than anybody, so they want to be a professional athlete. There's nothing wrong with that.
I don't regret anything I say... Never.
If you get Lonzo you know what you get. If you let him do what he does, I guarantee he wins.
I don't want no distractions on Melo. So therefore I'm going to home-school him and make him the best basketball player ever.
If a coach gets behind Lonzo and has confidence in him, I'm cool. 'Cause that's when he's very successful. He's been successful in AAU, high school and college.
I've always been famous. It's just who you famous to.
Who's gonna want to wear a loser's shoe? I know I wouldn't.
You may not like me. You may think I'm cocky or arrogant. But you will be thinking about me.
LeBron is not a fool.
My boys' goals are to be in the NBA, regardless of what team.
We get three of the Ball boys on the Lakers together, and we gonna go championship, championship, championship, championship, championship.
Anybody can be a coach.
Once you get into a real good situation, where somebody really believes in you, that's what you can take off to a whole other level.
I'm a globally loud person.
Parenting is different for everybody.
She's the one. Just so smooth. She's not like other girls. She's tough, smart, pretty. I told my wife, 'I been with you so long, you can have one eye drooped and your mouth over here like this and you're still beautiful to me. I look at you the same way. That ain't gonna never change.'
How would I coach LeBron and Lonzo? Guess what, less coaching is the best coaching. Let them do what they do.
All my boys are gonna be one-and-done.
Things are gonna happen in life. Either you are gonna help do something about it or you just gonna let it happen and destroy you.
I say get all three of my boys and you have a championship... the chemistry is the best ever between the brothers.
Being undefeated, Gelo and Melo winning 60 games in a row, my boys don't lose too much.
Ain't nobody going to stop me from doing what I'm doing.
Eighty dollars for a T-shirt - that's how you know the brand is good.
I know my boys better than they do.
LeBron James without Lonzo is not gonna win a championship in L.A. I guarantee that.
You can be a big baller at whatever you do.
I'm going to say whatever I want to say, however I want to say it.
I don't care if all girls ref - if they're good refs.
Coaching is not hard.
Don't be scared of me because you can't get around like I get around. You gotta have a blue book to follow me. I'm just not local.
Can't nobody quiet me up.
I raised my boys good.
Don't worry about what I'm doing. I take care of mine.
If I want to do something, I'm gonna go ahead and do it.
I ain't stepping back to nothing... I don't step back.
Lonzo makes everybody better, that's what he's always done all his life.
I don't need no advice from Kobe Bryant.
Afraid of LeBron? I ain't afraid of Jesus!
I told my boys this: Somebody gotta be better than Michael Jordan. Why not you?
Just because people say things, they're supposed to be true?
I'm a trainer. That's my passion. It ain't basketball. My boys, their passion is balling.
I'm not gonna say nobody's better than my son.
