Ballų šeimos šou debiutas Lietuvoje labai panašus į garsujį Boratą ir jo pasakojimą apie Kazachstaną. Ar neatsitiks taip ir Lietuvai? 

Kaip jau buvo minėta - psichozė sukelta Lietuvos žiniasklaidos ir žmonių reakcija, jau duoda pirmus rezultatus. Vos per pirmas rungtynes kuriose žaidė “šoumenai” broliai Ball’ai, komentatoriai (kaip pagal užsakymą) su pasimėgavimu pasakojo kokie šaunuoliai yra broliai, o kokie atsilikę yra lietuviai. Kaip brolių pasirodymas “pakėlė” Vytauto klubo populiarumą socialiniuose tinkluose, kur šis klubas teturėjo vos 1000 sekėjų, o vos tik atvyko broliai - klubas jau turi beveik 53000 sekėjų. T.y daugiau nei visi kiti klubai kartu sudėjus. Ir tai tik per kelias dienas. 

Nesuprantu ko taip džiūgauja šie rungtynių komentatoriai ir kiti BBB šoumenai - lyg ne lietuviai būtų, o Ballų šeimos nariai. Kaip žinia BBB “lyga” “įkurta” specialiai šiam šou iš žemesnių nei LKL lygos komandų, tad broliai savo krepšinio sugebėjimus (bent kol kas) demonstruoja tik prieš galimus ateities Lietuvos krepšinio talentus: antrą, jaunimo Žalgirio komanda, Šakių Vyti, Jonavos Jonavą, Lietryčio antrą komandą ir kitas, ne pačios stipriausios sudėties komandas. O džiaugiasi taip, kad atrodo Ball’ai vieni “krauna malkų” stipriausioms pasaulio rinktinėms… 

Iš komentatorių lūpų, frazė “Žalgiris Kaunas” skamba labai entuziastingai ir pabaigoje pridedama “junior team” kažkaip nelinksmai. 

Suprantama, kad būtų gerokai smagiau jei du broliai duotų “į kuprą” Šarūno  Jasikevičiaus treniruojamam “Žalgiriui”, gal net stipriausios sudėties Lietuvos rinktinei, nei “Žalgirio” jaunimo komandai. 

Ką gi, kaip svetinga tauta, sveikiname brolius Ballus įveikus “Žalgirio” jaunimo komandą. Nors žiūrint į vyriausiojo Ballo šypseną atrodo, kad sūnūs tapo planetos čempionai. Gerb. LaVarai, norėtusi priminti, kad ne prieš NBA lygio žaidėjus žaisdami sunkią pergalę pasiekė tavo treniruojama dviejų žaidėjų “komanda”. Na tiek to, vistiek sveikiname su pergale. Vytauto klubą taip pat. 

Iš trenerio Šeškaus norėtusi daugiau santūrumo. Svarbu nepamiršti, kad dalyvauja afroamerikiečių surengtame šou, kurio tikslas “padaryti Boratu” kiekvieną vietinį, “bananų respublikos” čiabuvį ir smagiai pasijuokti. Ir pajuokinti šimtus tūkstančių sekėjų visame pasaulyje. Kaip elgtis per spaudos konferencijas treneriui Šeškui reikėtų pasimokinti iš jaunesnio, po jo spaudos konferencijoje į klausimus atsakinėjusio "Žalgirio" jaunimą treniruojančio Tomo Masiulio.

Ball brothers picked 'worst possible place,' says American who played in Lithuania

LaMelo (L) and LiAngelo Ball have signed to play professionally overseas. (Getty)

When he learned where LiAngelo and LaMelo Ball will be playing pro basketball this season, Ben Brust couldn’t help but chuckle.

The former Wisconsin guard isn’t optimistic two pampered teenagers from sun-splashed Southern California will make a smooth transition to a club based in a remotely located, snow-covered town in Lithuania.

“I think they’ll last a month maximum,” Brust said. “It seems like the worst possible place they could have picked.”

In October 2016, Brust signed with BC Pieno Zvaigždės of the Lithuanian League six months after helping lead Wisconsin to the Final Four and a few days after the Milwaukee Bucks cut him during training camp. The culture shock he experienced during his lone season in Lithuania left him more homesick than he expected.

Hardly anyone in the 7,500-person village of Pasvalys spoke English. Restaurants typically only served traditional Lithuanian dishes unrecognizable to Brust. He and American teammates Michael Dixon Jr. and Alex Oriakhi had to drive 30 to 40 minutes to the nearest big city to find a mall, a grocery store or restaurants that offered American fare.

Only the premier teams in Europe can afford the charter flights and high-end hotels that major-conference American college teams take for granted. Brust’s team bused or ferried to games in Latvia, Estonia and Finland and saved money by staying in bargain hotels.

“My American teammates and I would literally count down the days until we got back to America,” Brust said. “It was always cold and dark. There are only like 5 or 6 hours of sunlight every day, and you’re in a gym for half of it. It’s a good basketball league, but there are plenty of other places in Europe that I would much prefer to live.”

LiAngelo and LaMelo Ball will face many of the same challenges Brust did as they try to adapt to life in Lithuania. The younger brothers of Los Angeles Lakers rookie Lonzo Ball signed Monday with the Lithuanian club, BC Prienai, ending a week-long search for an overseas professional team willing to try to develop both of them.

LiAngelo parted ways last week with UCLA after his infamously outspoken father LaVar became frustrated with the length of the suspension his middle son was serving for shoplifting in China. The 19-year-old swingman and UCLA teammates Cody Riley and Jordan Hill had missed eight games since returning to Los Angeles and had not been allowed to practice or travel with the Bruins.

LaMelo left Chino Hills High School a few months ago to be home-schooled because LaVar no longer got along with the school’s new basketball coach. The 16-year-old’s future in college basketball was already in doubt after LaVar jeopardized his NCAA eligibility in August by giving him his own Big Baller Brand signature shoe.

The team that LiAngelo and LaMelo are joining is based in Prienai, a scenic 10,000-person town that attracts tourists interested in taking advantage of the surrounding rivers, lakes and forest. It’s a 90-minute drive from Lithuania’s capital, Vilnius, and a 40-minute drive from the country’s nearest big city, Kaunas.

It may be difficult for LiAngelo and LaMelo to develop at BC Prienai since the coach reportedly has a volatile temper and speaks little English. Billy Baron, an American guard who once played on a different team coached by Virginijus Šeškus, tweeted earlier this week that he does not have fond memories of that experience.

“Same coach there is the one who told me during training camp (through a translator) he wouldn’t play me much my rookie year at Rytas because he didn’t speak English,” Baron said.

Only one American has played for BC Prienai in the past decade: Former Vanderbilt guard Brad Tinsley. When reached by Yahoo Sports on Tuesday, Tinsley declined to comment on why he left the team this past October after only two months.

While adjusting to an unfamiliar language, a gloomier climate and a new lifestyle will be difficult for LiAngelo and LaMelo, the challenge of competing against grown men may turn out to be even tougher. Future NBA players Brandon Jennings and Jeremy Tyler both struggled transitioning straight from high school basketball to matching up against savvier, stronger professional players in Italy and Israel.

The top of the Lithuanian League features a pair of powerful teams that regularly participate in EuroLeague and EuroCup, but BC Prienai is unlikely to ask the Ball brothers to play in those games. They’ll probably instead only play for BC Prienai in the less competitive Baltic League, which includes lower-tier Lithuanian clubs and teams from neighboring Latvia, Estonia, Belarus and Kazakhstan.

“It’s a low-level league, but it will still be a huge adjustment for them,” said Francesco Cavalli, director of scouting for EuroHopes.com. “They’ll play against players who aren’t as talented, but they’re more experienced and more physical, they make decisions quickly and they know every trick in the book. It’s just a totally different environment.”

NBA scouts who spoke to Yahoo Sports last week were skeptical that either LiAngelo or LaMelo are ready to make an impact for an overseas team of any level.

LaMelo, a consensus five-star recruit entering his junior year in high school, is considered the more talented of the two. The slender 6-foot-3 combo guard is a natural scorer off the dribble who has shown potential as an outside shooter and facilitator, but he would benefit from a coach who played a more traditional system than what LaVar favors, one who would emphasize shot selection and force LaMelo to defend for the first time in his career.

Coaches familiar with LiAngelo in high school pegged him as a small-ball power forward at a mid-major program had UCLA not taken him as part of a package deal with his brothers. The 6-foot-5 swingman is a dangerous spot-up shooter, but he lacks the quickness or athleticism to attack off the dribble, nor has he learned to take advantage of his strength in the post. His defense is also a major question as he isn’t able to stay in front of wings off the dribble yet he’s shorter than most power forwards.

“No young players, with the exception of the occasional DeAndre Ayton or Luka Doncic, are good enough to succeed in the top division overseas or in the G League at 18 or 19 years old,” one NBA scout said last week. “LiAngelo could probably play third division in Spain, France or Germany. I doubt that’s what he has in mind.”

It won’t cost BC Prienai much money to find out if LiAngelo and LaMelo can exceed scouts’ expectations. Cavalli said that players in the Baltic League typically receive about $1,000 per month salary.

BC Prienai could also benefit more from the publicity it receives by adding the Ball brothers than it would anything LiAngelo or LaMelo do on the court. General manager Adomas Kubilius did not return an email seeking comment from Yahoo Sports, but he told Lithuanian journalist Donatas Urbonas that attracting new advertisers was one of the motivations behind the deal.

BC Vytautas Prienai want to sell the ad on the front of the jersey for USA company only for €50 000

— Donatas Urbonas (@Urbodo) December 12, 2017

Vytautas Prienai director Adomas Kubilius: 'We don't know what to expect. But we hope that it will help the club. We already got a lot of attention. I hope it will also helps us financially. This is intriguing'

— Donatas Urbonas (@Urbodo) December 12, 2017

“In my opinion, we shouldn’t see this as a basketball move,” Cavalli said. “It’s a marketing move. That’s it. These kids are not ready to play pro basketball.”

Added ESPN international draft expert Fran Fraschilla, “I think this is a publicity stunt.”

What’s in it for LaVar Ball besides the chance to crow about his younger sons playing professional basketball as teenagers? More attention for the fledgling Big Baller Brand and some potential fodder for the third season of the Ball in the Family reality TV show.

Get ready for footage of LaMelo and LiAngelo trying to order dinner off a Lithuanian menu. It will be the basketball version of Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie trying to milk a cow on The Simple Life.

“It’s going to be amazing,” Brust said with a laugh. “I want the new season of Ball in the family, the Balls take on Lithuania, to start ASAP. I’m intrigued to see someone of their popularity share the same experience I did.”

LiAngelo, LaMelo Ball are off to Lithuania, however is that going be good for them?

LiAngelo Ball and LaMelo Ball, brothers of Lonzo Ball and sons of the all the time outspoken LaVar Ball, are heading to Lithuania to start their professional careers. When the 2 had been introduced as being pulled out of faculty, this was all the time the anticipated final result, however Lithuania wasn’t the nation that many pegged them to decide on.

Sources: LaMelo and LiAngelo Ball have turned professional, signing one-year contracts with first division Lithuanian staff Vytautas. They are going to report back to the membership in early January.

— Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) December 11, 2017

Lithuania is a rustic that has put out many NBA professionals, together with Jonas Valančiūnas and Domantas Sabonis, however the staff they’ve chosen is infamous for not signing American gamers. Based on ESPN, the explanation the Ball’s had been signed had extra to do with advertising and marketing than expertise degree. They’re going to doubtless play at a decrease degree versus the primary professional staff.

“The franchise has hopes that the Balls — together with their father, LaVar — might be a advertising and marketing boon for the fledgling franchise, sources informed ESPN. 

 …

Vytautas performs within the Lithuanian (LKL) league, however it’s unlikely the Ball brothers would see important taking part in time in that league. Vytautas additionally performs within the lesser aggressive Baltic League, the place the youngsters might see extra taking part in time. The staff has mentioned a job of 20 to 25 minutes a sport apiece within the Baltic League, a supply informed ESPN. ” 

After information broke of the 2 Ball’s signing, the staff put out an announcement in help of their improvement as basketball gamers.

Lithuanian staff Vytautas‘ assertion on signing LaMelo and LiAngelo Ball to one-year offers: “Our membership is happy for the arrival of LiAngelo and LaMelo Ball. We’re dedicated to their long-term success and improvement as skilled basketball gamers.”

— Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) December 11, 2017

So the 2 teenagers are heading to a professional league, however did they make the right selection? They are going to positively make more cash this manner than if LiAngelo had stayed at UCLA or if LaMelo had caught with AAU, however Lithuania is a troublesome place to play in and the staff they selected hasn’t made it any simpler.

Gamers which have previously performed in Lithuania as professionals commented on their experiences there and the precise coach for that staff. Apparently the coach did not converse English and the world they are going to be taking part in in may be very small. This adjustment interval is already fairly troublesome for pro-level gamers, not to mention a pair youngsters.

He had me my rookie yr for a distinct membership there, informed me by means of our assistant throughout coaching camp that he wouldn’t play me a lot as a result of he couldn’t converse to me.

— Billy Baron (@Billy_Baron) December 11, 2017

The Ball’s to Lithuania is a catastrophe ready to occur (I performed there for a yr and hated it). It is a image of the groups fitness center that the Ball brothers would play at. Not precisely BIG BALLER materials #BBB http://pic.twitter.com/STkQ57YRS5

— Ben Brust (@BenBrust) December 11, 2017

A Freelance FIBA author, Simonas Baranauskas, offered some detailed commentary on the staff the Ball’s are anticipated to play for by way of a Twitter thread. He stated the staff is not recognized for having some huge cash, however they do play a mode that sounds so much like NBA basketball. Free flowing, with lots of Three-pointers, which is an indication of excellent improvement potential for the Ball’s. If, once more, the coach can cooperate with them.

Slightly perception to Vytautas: a one-man membership within the form of coach Virginijus Šeškus, who has guided the small-town staff to appreciable heights in Lithuania. The final couple of years have been a little bit of a squeeze financially however they’ve by no means operated w/ some huge cash. https://t.co/Ye24GindnF

— Simonas Baranauskas (@LithuaniaBasket) December 11, 2017

They’re recognized for taking part in free-spirited, free-flowing basketball w/ lots of three-pointers. Šeškus is named a giant persona and fairly a hot-head on the sidelines. He even walked his staff off within the Baltic Basketball League sport this season, as he was unhappy with refs.

— Simonas Baranauskas (@LithuaniaBasket) December 11, 2017

So what is the deal? Is that this the best resolution? When it comes to conventional NBA improvement, no. Most American gamers are extra snug, and have extra success, going to a school or by means of AAU versus taking part in abroad. Nevertheless, this does not imply they cannot achieve success simply that there is not a serious historical past of it occurring proper now. Two of the extra well-known prospects to strive going abroad, Brandon Jennings and Emmanuel Mudiay, each got here again as top-10 picks. Nevertheless, they had been already projected extremely for the draft once they left. They did not actually improve their inventory with their resolution.

The largest issue for the Ball’s would be the adjustment interval to life in Europe. The few gamers who’ve come out and spoken on it did not converse extremely of their time there, and the shortage of American gamers the staff indicators could be an indicator of how troublesome it’s to play there. 

Nevertheless, from a pure basketball perspective, a staff that freely performs and shoots Three-pointers is a superb place for the 2 Ball’s. The NBA is heading increasingly more towards capturing. If that is what they’re aspiring to develop for, then they will wish to be someplace that’s getting them prepared for that type of basketball. If they will modify themselves to a brand new location, and discover a method to work with the teaching employees, then the basketball alone might work out nice for them.

That stated, the chances are in opposition to them.

Nuo seniausių laikų žmonės augindavo naminius gyvūnus. Kai kuriuos dėl maisto ir kailio, kai kuriuos dėl namų apsaugos  (pvz. šunys), o kai kuriuos tiesiog dėl to jog į juos malonu pažiūrėti ir teikia džiaugsmą. Šiuo metu stebėtinai išaugo naminių gyvūnų įvairovė, žmonės netgi augina šeškus, juos vedžiojasi už pavadėlių.

Atrodytų labai gerai, kad žmonės augina naminius gyvūnus, suteikia jiems geresnes sąlygas nei gamtoje, kur reikia kautis dėl išlikimo ir maisto, tačiau kas atsitinka kai gyvūnas nusibosta žmogui, geriausiu atveju žmogus jį atiduoda kitiems, į prieglaudą, bet kartais tiesiog palieka miške likimo valiai ( o gyvūnas juk jau nebeturi kai kurių instinktų, kadangi gyveno namuose) arba dar blogiau gyvūnui atimama gyvybė (pavyzdžiui katė atsivedė kačiukų ir žmogus negali jų visų išmaitinti, todėl nuskandina).

Kuo daugiau žmonės augina naminių gyvūnų, tuo labiau gatvėse daugėja valkataujančių gyvūnų.

Ką reikėtų daryti:

Jei labai trokštate įsigyti gyvūną, nepirkite jo iš gyvūnėlių parduotuvės, vietoj to priglauskite valkataujantį arba mirčiai pasmerktą gyvūną.

Kuo mažiau naudokitės gyvūnėlių parduotuvių paslaugomis ir apskritai kuo mažiau skatinkite gyvūnėlių reikmenų verslą. Kuo mažiau žmonės darys iš gyvūnų verslą tuo mažiau po to atsiras beglobių gyvūnų.

Daugybė gyvūnų, jų rūšių iki šiol sėkmingai būtų laukiniai ir tebeturėtų visus instinktus skirtus išgyvenimui jei ne amžinas žmogaus įsikišimas į visas įmanomas gamtos sritis.

Labai dažnu atveju žmonės įsigyja gyvūnus ne dėl to jog jiems labai norėtų padėti, o dėl savo pačių problemų:

Neturi artimo žmogaus ir vietoj to kad dėtų pastangas perliptų save ir susipažintų su kuo nors- jis pasirenka lengvesnį būdą bendrauti įsigyja gyvūną ir bendrauja su juo. Dažnai būna jog vienišos moterys renkasi įsigyti gyvūnus patinėlius, o vieniši vyrai – pateles, taip kompensuodami vyriškos ar moteriškos energijos trūkumą namuose.

Nenori susilaukti vaikų nes tai didelis įsipareigojimas, todėl vietoj vaikų renkasi gyvūnus.

Neturi laiko savo vaikams ir nenorėdami, kad vaikai “prasmegtų” kompiuterių ir telefonų ekranuose jiems nuperka kokį nors naminį gyvūną, kad šis kompensuotų tėvų dėmesio trūkumą.

Nelanko senų tėvų, vietoj to jiems nuperka gyvūną, kad nebūtų vieniši.

Įsigyja gyvūnus netgi dėl to jog jiems pataria daktarai, pavyzdžiui katės labai nuramina nervingus žmones, sumažina kraujo spaudimą, tačiau dėl nervingumo ir aukšto spaudimo, gal reiktų kažko ydingo atsisakyti gyvenime o ne spręsti tai įsigyjant gyvūną.

Bet įsigydami gyvūnus dėl savęs žmonės patiems gyvūnams sukuria nemažai problemų:

Jei gyvūnas neseniai buvo laukinis ir staiga jį paima gyventi į namus, jis praranda instinktus ir po kurio laiko nebegalėtų savarankiškai išgyventi, kai šeimininkui atsibos jį auginti. O juk to nebūtų buvę jei gyvūnas būtų  buvęs paliktas augti laisvėje, miške.

Suvaržo gyvūnų dauginimosi instinktus, išoperuoja dauginimosi organus, dėl to pavyzdžiui patinėliai praranda kovingumą ir laisvėje nebegali apsiginti.

Gyvūnai ėsdami parduotuvės maistą ir gyvendami žmonių namuose pradeda sirgti laisvėje visiškai nebūdingomis ligomis.

Negana to žmonės užsimanę auginti naminius gyvūnus ir patys prisidaro sau problemų:

Padaugėja finansinių išlaidų, ne tik maistas, gydymas bet ir įsigudrina vesti gyvūnus į kirpyklas, kai negali kur nors su gyvūnu išvykti, veža pvz. šunis į šunų viešbučius, žodžiu žmonių išradingumui ir kvailumui nėra ribų.

Apriboja savo keliavimą, nes ne visur gali keliauti su gyvūnu.

Sumažėja laisvo laiko, kadangi gyvūną reikia maitinti, prausti vedžioti.

Namuose padaugėja netvarkos, purvo, plaukų, kartais gyvūnai parsineša parazitų.

Gyvūnai, kartais neleidžia miegoti nei Jums nei kaimynams.

Pagirtina yra prižiūrėti beglobius gyvūnus, gelbėti gulbes nuo įšalimo lede ir t.t. Nieko blogo gyvūnais grožėtis miške ar laukuose, tačiau atsiranda daug problemų kuomet žmogus įsigeidžia TURĖTI ir gyvūnas tampa daiktu. Jei labai norime auginti gyvūną atlikime testą su savimi ar galėtume vietoj “iščiustyto” gyvūno iš parduotuvės ar kt. priimti į savo namus apšiurusį beglobį gyvūną, jį išprausti, duoti jam ėsti ir auginti iki natūralios jo mirties, jei taip tuomet šaunu taip ir padarykite, Jūs tirkai mokate prižiūrėti gyvūnus. Tačiau jei visgi norite pirmojo varianto iš parduotuvės, ko gero gyvūnas Jums atsibos ir į jį žiūrite tik kaip į daiktą. Ne su Jumis niekas nėra blogai tiesiog nepirkite gyvūno, skirkite daugiau laiko sau ir artimiems žmonėms.

O kokia Jūsų nuomonė apie naminius gyvūnų įsigijimą ir auginimą?
