  • 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,365 Congratulations on the Lakers.

  • Thank you.

  • Very, very exciting.

  • And it's exciting for you, I'm sure,

  • to have him on the Lakers.

  • Yes.

  • But you expected it?

  • Most definitely.

  • Yeah, OK.

  • So your dad says you will be the greatest player

  • ever in all time.

  • Do you agree with him?

  • I mean, it's good to set the bar high.

  • So that's what I'm chasing after.

  • Right, so do you have the same confidence that he puts on you

  • or is that too much pressure?

  • No, I have it.

  • He's just a little louder than I am.

  • OK, I see.

  • Because you always wanted him to be a basketball player?

  • He was going to be a basketball player.

  • That's how I picked my wife.

  • 00:00:37,020 --> 00:00:38,340 Everything lined up for him.

  • OK, did you know you were being picked

  • to breed basketball players?

  • OK.

  • Yeah.

  • OK, because there's how many sons?

  • Three?

  • Three.

  • Three.

  • And they're all going to be basketball players?

  • Oh yes.

  • OK, well you already are.

  • OK.

  • So some of the things that you have said--

  • back in my heyday, I'd kill Michael Jordan one on one.

  • Easy.

  • You would?

  • Easy.

  • OK.

  • I'm going to tell you right now, Lonzo

  • is better than Steph Curry.

  • To me, yes.

  • OK.

  • Well, all these are to you because they--

  • Yes, most definitely.

  • Yeah.

  • Lonzo fitting to step over Magic to be the best guard ever.

  • Most definitely.

  • OK.

  • If you can't afford our shoes--

  • what are they called?

  • The Zero Two's.

  • Zero Two's?

  • --you're not a big baller?

  • Yes.

  • Do you know what that means?

  • A big baller?

  • If you're not a big baller--

  • see, people took it the wrong way, thinking--

  • Well, you tell me what it means.

  • This is what it means.

  • If you're not dedicated and disciplined enough

  • to go do whatever to get the shoes, you're not a big baller.

  • It's not about you have enough money to be a big baller.

  • That's what it means.

  • You're not a big baller if you don't go get

  • the shoe because you're not--

  • you don't want to take the chance to go get it.

  • Because it might have to be a little harder

  • and than you just saying, hey, I want this shoe.

  • You've got to go work for that shoe.

  • Right, or not eat that day.

  • Yeah.

  • Well, you've got to be smart.

  • Are you going to not eat or are you going to save up money to--

  • collect bottles for a year or two get the shoe?

  • OK, so you--

  • You know what I'm saying?

  • Yeah, I do.

  • So now you're being disciplined-- dedicated.

  • Because that's something you want.

  • I think discipline is important.

  • Yes, of course, and responsibility.

  • Right.

  • But I also think that--

  • you passed up-- Nike, I guess, offered you a deal?

  • $2 billion deal, yeah.

  • So you passed up the Nike deal because you have your own line.

  • And you're saying why give them a little bit of money

  • when you can have your own line?

  • Yes.

  • Right.

  • Because everybody's been endorsed.

  • We don't want to do no endorsement.

  • That's been done a long time.

  • Right.

  • OK, so you have a goal for your family-- a huge financial goal.

  • And what is the goal?

  • The goal is to have my kids' kids be trust fund babies--

  • that internal wealth.

  • Don't be wealthy for 10 years and when

  • your contract wears out, now you're stuck with nothing.

  • Right.

  • Now you're on that 70 percentile being broke.

  • Right.

  • Because a lot of people and a lot of basketball players

  • make a lot of money, but then they spend a lot of money,

  • and they don't have any money.

  • Exactly.

  • And how old are the other sons?

  • My other son is 18, the other one just turned 16.

  • OK.

  • And they all already are accepted into UCLA?

  • One is at UCLA right now, and the other one

  • is committed to UCLA.

  • Uh-huh.

  • Great.

  • And so you think they're really good?

  • You think they're also going--

  • what's going to happen when it's competitive between the three

  • of you?

  • Once they're actually playing pro ball?

  • Well, hopefully we're on the same team.

  • But you know, if we play against each other,

  • it always goes in order--

  • I'm the best, then the middle one--

  • the middle one's second best, and then the youngest one.

  • What would happen if the middle one or the youngest one

  • beat you?

  • I mean, what would that feel like?

  • Nah, it never happens, so I don't know.

  • All right.

  • It's great to have confidence, but you also-- everyone fails.

  • Everyone makes mistakes and has bad games and bad times,

  • so you have to be ready for that, too.

  • Oh, yeah.

  • Everybody's a human like you said.

  • We all make mistakes.

  • You just got to get back up.

  • Yeah, exactly.

  • Good.

  • All right, and you just got an apartment, right?

  • I did.

  • I got you something for your apartment.

  • I think you're going to love it.

  • I do.

  • I think you're going to love it.

  • [AUDIENCE LAUGHTER]

  • 00:04:06,810 --> 00:04:07,780 That's good.

  • That's good.

  • Yeah.

  • You're trying to block me, but I'm

  • going to dunk on you right there.

  • That's one of your bad days, right there.

  • You go to sleep looking at that.

  • All right.

  • You can catch Ball In the Family every Sunday on Facebook Watch.

00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,365 Congratulations on the Lakers.
