Doug Gottlieb on Kidd's comments on Jordan, LaVar Ball's basketball league and more | THE HERD 

Why did so many NBA teams pass on Kyle Kuzma?

People are scared of someone who can’t fit their box and Lavar won’t

Colin is wrong when he says dynasties get lucky by having certain draft picks. It’s not luck, it’s called developing and cultivating the talent you have.

Yeah for a guy who averaged 28ppg and 11rpg, AD sure is trash. Smh.

They spoke of DeAndre Jordan but they must've forgot about Kyrie. The guy only played 9 games and turned out to be a superstar

D'Angelo a cancer? Wow that's a bit much like damn a cancer?

Doug with solid points, as usual.

The hypocrisy is ridiculous with these ppl... I've heard Colin say "why go back to school" on numerous occasions

Lonzo ball played at ucla he just learned how to correctly run a pick and roll

Root for lavar I hope it works these guys are haters

This is the stupidest argument ever. All of their arguments are extremely biased and based outside of logic. First, the idea that a player can only learn basketball in a college setting is ridiculous. All of the benefits that college basketball offers can be achieved elsewhere. Second, NBA scouts will seek the best players. Currently, college is the most direct path, domestically, to the NBA, so the top eligible recruits go there to play. What if the to non-eligible recruits went and played in Lavars league? It stands to reason that scouts, who are invested in finding the best talent would be interested. Third, fans want to watch the best players. If top recruits went to play at Rucker Park, then fans would flock to Rucker Park. I really could go one destroying the lack of logic in the latest “let’s hate Lavar” campaign. Finally, the stupidest most idiotic argument of all is big baller brand is Lonzo’s money. Do Jordan, Kyrie, Lebron, or Kobe own Nike? Big Baller Brand is a company, Yes Lonzo is the flagship athlete, but what does that have to do with BBB? BBB is startup competing in a market dominated by giants. I don’t understand why people would be ok with Nike or UCLA or Nike making money from Lonzo's image but have a problem with his father/ CEO of BBB doing the same thing. Even if BBB doesn’t reach the status of Nike and his league doesn't overtake college sports, why is it a crime to try? It’s time to just give the Lavar his credit. He has done a great job. Why do we sit around second-guessing his every move waiting for him to fail? All innovators have made mistakes and miscalculations, Lavar will too.

Did he really just say Kobe had holes in his game?!?

Leahy at the end makes me not want to subscribe.

gotlieb has Isiah Thomas ranked ahead of Kobe Bryant. he should keep quiet on basketball

You literally have Doug a nba reject critiquing three successful nba players. The irony

u have to go to buisness school huh?

We get 3 games a week in australia, stretch the audience of the games nba cmon now. Hundreds of thousands of fans misisng out on all the nba action

I thought this guy was banned because of his Top 10NBA list.

'The previous regime drafted poorly'. It's the same guys, Jesse Buss and Ryan West carried over from before. Plus what is he talking about they drafted brilliantly! Randle, Ingram, Clarkson, D'Lo were all great picks (in hindsight Unicorn would have been the way to go other than D'Lo but not a bad pick by any stretch)

you know that your boss is a workoholic psychopath when he starts talking to you about work before you take a seat

Love it

Dougie walked on to the scene and laid the facts down in cement.

Sounds like these guys are scared of change

I’m 19 and I know what old school basketball is. It’s all about what kind of fan you are, if you’re a casual fan you will not know a lot about old school basketball. If you’re an actual basketball fan you’ll know about it. Simple

They lost me at Kobe being socially awkward 🤦🏿‍♂️

You're very possessive aren't you Colin? My show, my staff my, my my. We ALL know that its your show, after all its The Herd with Colin Cowherd. The reference is there.

Doug nailed it with his take on the Lakers at the end... so true

I think this is the first time I've heard that Luol Deng is not about winning. The guy always gave it his all.

Why are we still talking about Lonzo when there are dudes like Donovan Mitchell tearing it up on a nightly basis? Glad to finally hear some love for Kuzma

The best way to fix this is to get rid of the one and done rule altogether. Let players decide if they want to go to the NBA immediately. Honestly, I think it is important to go to college to work on their game more especially since most of the players who would go to the NBA directly would have been the number 1 option in high school and would become bench players to start their careers in the NBA with a few exceptions. And if NBA teams want to gamble on young players straight from high school, then let them.

Gottlieb had KD in his all time top 10 basketball players. His opinion is irrelevant.

If only we all had it figured out like Gottlieb.. lol

Most players are trying to emulate Kobe.... not LeBron. Colin would go down on LeBron if given the chance.

There use to be a time when we COULDN'T play in college. So getting to the NBA is not the issue and they can go to school at any age

i rather watch BBB league than this show.

They lost me when they started to criticise Kobe

Why are we talking as if four years of college makes a player fail proof? There are TONS of seniors that get to the league and aren't developed. I don't get it...

Doug knows his basketball! #MusicGame913

If magic had this idea for a new league, everyone would be saying it's a great idea. But because people are sheep and hating lavar is the 'cool' thing to do, people dog the idea.

get this man his own show

Anybody else get lost when he said Kobe had a lot of holes in his game

The real question is....why isn't this show called the Doug Gottlieb show.

Jesus Doug with the unnecessary jab at Russell

Don’t disrespect my boi D-Lo like that .

Why do they only bring up Kobe's name when speaking about something negative? Smh

Support small businesses America.

I really like this idea but I don't know how it would work I hope it does but it seems practically impossible

Doug and Chris show please

For once I agree with the crazy guy and disagree with you guys. He’s got a great idea, creating competition for the NCAA that rips of their players. So what if he got logistics like how many players will be on the bench wrong? Those things will be adjusted. He’s still in planning stages. He can hire people to run all of it. Don’t hate guys, you don’t have to like him, but don’t hate

I would compare lonzo to dennis rodman someone who often passed up open shots and just worried about rebounds even tho i hate steph curry him and lonzo cant be mentioned in the same sentence

These so called “one and dones” have the resources to keep progressing and developing their skill sets at the professional level. Kids can stay 4 years and still not live up to potential. Players need to have intangibles to continue to get great. All the great athletes have those intangibles whether they went to college or came out from high school.

You got the G league. Idk why he would ever think this would work.

Tell me if I’m reaching but it sounded like he was saying nba players aren’t smart( other than Kobe)

Luol Deng was all about himself and his stats? That's honestly the first I've heard that about him.

If Lavar starts this league for as much as they call it a terrible idea they would have a full hour segment on the opening night it starts. How hypocritical.

I don't agree with the fact that "we now have a league being filled with Lebron kids". Its more so Kobe they look up to than Lebron. And this isn't to say who's better. But Kobe has been more of this generation's Jordan more than Lebron as far as popularity. Most of the rookies now were young kids and teens when Kobe was dominating. I mean Lebron was dominating too, but he wasn't the clear-cut best player in the world the way he is now. I think the generation of rookies and younger players afterwards (2020's) will cite Lebron as their idol or their "Jordan"

Its the search for the next Lebron or Kobe...both who never went to college.

So you had the best coaching from your dad and high school coach...but you were not ready for college basketball. Sounds like your dad and high school coach were not as good as he just proclaimed them 😂

All it takes is ONE top recruit to set this league off. Imagine if Zion Williamson decides, yanno what.. I’m going to be drafted in the top 10 of the draft when I decide to go anyway, why don’t I just go make a lot of money to just play basketball and not bother going to school? More and more kids will follow him. Lavar is seeing an opportunity and pouncing on it. He has the potential to strike gold

Overall I am a fan of Mr cowherd. I like his theories and his comparisons to real life situations. But wasn't he the one who said (I think about Sam darnold coming out of college or staying for a year), that he absolutely should go pro because of better coaches and better competition? Why doesn't this rule apply to one and done college players like the Kentucky guys? He's tripping himself.

The NCAA is just fine. You shouldn’t need to college to make the nba though. The problem is, you aren’t gonna get 80 players like Lebron or Kobe that can go straight out of high school for one year, let alone multiple years. NCAA basketball should be used by people who need it. You still shouldn’t have to do it though. It’s unfair for the one guy that could skip college.

This show is always hating on the LaVar Ball mainly because he thinks outside of box. If he fails then criticize him.

Gottlieb is 50x more knowledgeable and entertaining and better looking than L3/8ron Stan, dork, Nick Wrong ... so, why doesn’t Doug have his own show?

Wasn't Gottlieb the guy who got kicked off the team at Notre Dame for stealing a classmate's credit card and making several charges on them?

It’s not like those kids can’t go to college. Everyone is making money on those kids from sponsors to educational institutions (HS, College) to sport channels (Fs1 ESPN) and your right not all of them make it to the league. So why not make money? Who says they still can’t go to college?

dont watch their videos, dont support them. the show wil end REAL QUICK.

These adults know good and well these schools exploiting these kids making millions off them and they have the nerve to sit up there with a straight face and endorse that foolishness. Nothing wrong with having another option and school will always be there.

As someone who's unbiased on the matter, this idea of Lavars will fail. Although a decent idea, it will fail.

D lo worked hard

I agree with Doug's points about college, but to say that LaVar Ball "has never truly run a business" is blasphemous and inconsiderate. Regardless of your preferences, BBB is a successful business - just take a look at the revenues and financial forecasts. If LaVar is one thing, he's a fantastic businessman.

Lavar clearly said TOP players, so players that are ready to go to the league lol not ppl like Colin

kuzma is not overal talented too much ..and he know that..that is why he is trying too much..and work crazy..he know this is his chance...and his mind is in the right place right now

Also LA got rid of Nick Young.

Doug Gottlieb, what teen watches Jordan on you-tube? Really?

I think the league is for guys who won't make it in the NBA and g league, so that they can make some money. However, if they are in college they should just finish it. This league won't make money

I believe this could work. And with some support from anonymous donors, they could circumvent the media conglomerates like fox and ESPN, by doing what they did with their a reality show, using Facebook's platform. Granted, the idea needs to be flushed out, but that could be easily done. And the reason the NCAA has so many success stories is because it's the only game in town for the average basketball player. Who gets nothing for the millions he or she makes for the organization. It is an unfair and broken system that needs to be challenged.

School/college isnt for evreyone deal with it wth

Did he say kobe had holes in his game????

kobe has holes in his game?!?!?!? wat da fudge

He missed his chance after the big 3 came out

Well coached will not make a good basketball PLAYER, only x & o. No more. You still need ability.

D’angelo better than lonzo tho

Colin Cowherd. I listen to your shiw way too much to allow you to contradict yourself on this topic. You've said "beware of the 4 year player" now more college is the end all be all for development? Can't have it both ways.

I can’t wait for D’Angelo to prove everyone wrong when he get healthy again smh a cancer? The kid made a mistake at 19 with Nick young and played in the shadow of Kobe as a rookie when Kobe was in his last season you could say his real rookie year was 16-17 but its all good the Nets and Dlo will get better and make yall eat yall words.

lavar the kind of guy who never could have worked for anybody

Colin Cowherd will say stuff then say the exact opposite right after. How you gonna look down on the 1 and dones saying they're underperforming while all the guys on the Warriors went to college for 3 years when his lord and savior Lebron James literally came from High School

Dude hatin on dlo

Kuzma>Lonzo

That minor league idea would only work if the NBA did it themselves. They have the money to do it right.

Umm kd Lebron

Hate, hate, hate, hate hate!!!!!!

More time to develop physical my and mentally plus old fashion discipline and old school coaching made better men and players. Go figure! We can look at our history and see what(generally) worked better ----putcha feelings aside snowflakes

Whenever Doug is on, Colin seems extra coked out. They probably sniff hard with each other before they film you can see it

Why Colin look like a grandma?

I love this show but let's be for real white guys need college to grow up black guys have life for most black guys College isn't even an option not trying to be funny or stereotypical but be for real why you wear a zip face loser other black guys have been working to try to support themselves while y'all were using your parents pass others were trying to figure out how to be parents or deal with the things life have given them just wanted to say that of course I'm going to have a troll say something but whatever the NBA had to start somewhere so let the men tried to build something every time he does anything everyone hates it he puts his kids in the league overseas so what what happen if they make it to the NBA then what everybody going to say he's genius if he fails then he fails but at least he's trying something just because it's not what everybody else does doesn't mean it's wrong it's just different but whatever what do I know

Kyle kuzma is great right know because he’s a matured athlete and has a matured game he spent 4 years in college by next year lonzo will be better than kuzma but kuzma will be a great player

college ball is now plantation ball....ncaa is over

These guys are so narrow minded

TRUUUEE GUY YOUR SO RIGHT BBB BRAND IS A JOKE!!!!!!

If LaVar came up with an idea to body bag himself I might pay to see it. But, I doubt it.
