While visiting the Bates family in Tennessee, Jim Bob goes head-to-head with Lawson Bates, the fourth oldest of Gil and Kelly's 19 children, in a basketball challenge:
Poor Lawson would have easily won. Jim Bob shouldn't be breaking the rules of basketball just to call himself a winner. It is soo sad to see parents tell their kids to be one way and then totally act the opposite and run around like a child saying he won by cheating. I am sure he knows the rules of basketball. I guess playing by the rules isn't Jim Bob's thing. So sad. It was soo obvious he didn't understand why it was ok for Jim Bob to cheat and get away with it--on top of it reward himself for it.
That was just an embarrassment. Lawson wasn't a good sport; he was showing respect to an elder. Of course, Lawson knew JB was cheating. Shame on JimBob.

ReplyDeleteIt was just a game between them too.
ReplyDeleteI think Jim Bob won fair and square. Lawson took it good.
I don't think gloating & boasting are good character qualities to teach a young man!
ReplyDeletewow!
ReplyDeleteI love that Jim Bob can just go out and play a nice game with a kid. I think all the competitive talk just makes it a little more fun .
