Kyrie Irving has some advice for LaVar Ball and he basically wants him to slow his roll a little bit. While Kyrie respects his efforts to build a successful family brand, he is not a fan of the outrageous statements and carnival barker approach that LaVar is now infamous for.
Kryrie joined the Road Trippin Podcast on UNINTERRUPTED to talk about how LaVar needs to let Lonzo be his own man.
“I’m sorry, LaVar, you’re not going to be in every hotel room that Lonzo is going to be in,” Kyrie said as a guest on Uninterrupted’s “Road Trippin'” podcast hosted by Cleveland Cavaliers veterans Richard Jefferson and Channing Frye. “You’re not going to be everywhere and part of his life as he continues to grow up. You got to let go. He’s 19-years old. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want it to bypass him being a father, but he’s got to let Lonzo be Lonzo for the long haul.”
“I had to have a talk with my dad, and I was just like, ‘Man, Dad, I love you, but I’m going to make my own decisions,'” Irving said. “And he told me, when I turn 18, I’m responsible enough for myself to make my own decisions, and he’s going to be there to help along the way. But when I turned 18, like, I got my first tattoo. I got my ear pierced. I just started doing my own thing.”
Kyrie gave some very sound advice during the podcast that is definitely worth listening too. Flip the page for audio of Kyrie Irving on the Road Trippin podcast.
