Lonzo Ball

Looks good. Id like to see how he adjusts to NBA caliber guards, pace & defense.

I like his vision, but refuse to anoint him after a stint in Summer League where only 1-2 guys per team are NBA players, there is no defense, and the pace would make the GSW blush.

Yea he looked good. Not against the Cavs though.. But all other games, game looked really slowed down for him and his skill and athleticism was standout.

His shot is eventually gonna start falling I think.

Will say his posture is terrible and if he doesn't get some balance to his through spine he's going to end up with long term back issues which a trainer needs to work on Asap

Agreed. I've always thought he looked funny on the court and it's all related to his posture, now that you mentioned it. In college he was known for "making it look effortless" but this relaxed, hunched over vibe to his game is weird, especially when he is close to a defender. He almost over-extends too low to keep the ball protected.

For everyone worried about his shot, it is definitely ugly but there are worse shots that have made guys millions throughout league history (looking at you, Matrix). He somewhat shot-puts it up there but at least the release is quick.

yeah he has an extreme kyphosis or 'text neck'. this will end up with a pelvis shift to compensate and increased lumber compression and pelvic tilt. had it myself for years until the good people of RCF got me heading in the right direction

Whenever you hear or read Magic Johnson spinning away about the Lakers, remember this box score:

The Lakers aren't going to win that many games next year. It would be a minor miracle if they break .400 on the year.

LaVar Ball got a technical foul and pulled his Big Ballers AAU team off the court in a bizarre scene Saturday at the Double Pump Best of Summer Tournament in California.

The playoff game was ruled a forfeit after Big Ballers left in the second half and Clutch Players Navy was awarded the win. Of note, Big Ballers was winning 69-60 at the time of the forfeit.

Ball was upset about a foul call and repeated, “That’s not a foul, that’s not a foul.” He then questioned the official’s manhood and used a profanity to describe the call.

After the call, you can see Ball wave toward his players, head toward the baseline and his players follow with their gear.

In a video from Overtime captured outside the gym, Ball says, “Not gonna have my guys playing hard and they cheating. I don’t play that … ”

He's such a piece of shit. Perfect villain in the WWE universe.

Just a matter of time before he's the first Dad suspended by Adam Silver. He'll be in a hostile arena and lose it when fans get on his kid -- or him.

Can't wait to see this dude have a nervous breakdown when his kid is in the NBA and he isn't allowed to be the focus of everything anymore.

I do think Lonzo will be a damn good player, but Lavar seems to be fading already and getting clowned. Can't like that.

I firmly believe Lavar acted out to make sure no one outside of LA took him. Now the cameras are just following him.

I don't think so. He's also got that shitty brand and I think he craves the attention. If you read about him, he's been like this since he was a kid.

When that happens, he'll act out. He's going to get his attention, whether good or bad

Absolutely. I think the vast majority of it is going to be negative, as it has been lately.

If Lonzo were to struggle, which I really don't anticipate, Lavar is going to be really bad news for his career.

 

[Lee]

Why is Lonzo's shot so ugly? I have a hard time watching him play because of that.

Havent seen a shot that ugly that went in since Bill Cartwright.

We'll see how it plays out.

Lots of idiots out there supporting stupid people. Cash me outside girl is making money
