LaVar on showing up in Vytautas practice: "Just to share my thoughts. He's got to believe it, that's all. I get it – he has been coaching for a long time and he is loyal to his guys. It's very hard for him. BUT! It's a hard decision which need to be made, IF you wanna win."

Coach Seskus told that LaVar Ball will try to realize his ideas about more up-tempo basketball with more threes: "He'll try his system. I want to look at some things more closely. Maybe he'll motivate the players for Big Baller Brand Challenge Games"

The Lavar Effect is already happening, it actually took longer than I had thought it would. How much longer before this whole ‘overseas experiment’ blows up in his face.
