I want Lonzo Ball to succeed now, that's because the Lakers did the right thing by allowing Lonzo Ball the freedom to make mistakes but still stay on the court as the UNDISPUTED/unchallenged #1 ballhandler for a NBA team in a small media market.
Especially Lonzo. Great young man. Plays the game unselfishly and is an extremely gifted distributor. So happy he has the best lob option in the league on his team
Of fucking course man!! The story of these guys is a good one! Started with lavar but we’ve already witnessed lonzo grow before our eyes and become his own man lulul. And their just chill people man, gotta hoe the best for em
Being INJURY-PRONE was the biggest problem for Lonzo Ball as a Laker. Too much time off the court due to injuries. Lakers franchise is better suited for NBA Playoff-tested veterans. The day Lebron James was signed, it was over for the Lakers Young Core because it was actually supposed to be 2 Max Contract Players even last year, so those 2 Max Contract Players would have dominated the ball together anyway no matter who else was on the team.
He's my favorite young player to watch. Him, Luka, Zion, Ja, Trae, Ingram, etc etc. They are the future of the NBA. They will all be top 10 players at some point in their careers, quite possibly all at the same time.
He’s always been mature, it’s just his dad that make him seem like he actin out when lonzo been chillin since he got popular. His attitude n composure has always been cool
@@_Maxten yeah that guy was exposed some time ago, players he trained or tried to developed never really improved after becoming their trainer. Most actually got worse the following season after going through him.
Is Ben Simmons watching this? Everyone working and changing their shot except for my guy Ben. Big ups to Zo though... he’s come a long way with that shot and it looks really good.
sayed alam Who? I’m a 76ers fan and I go to the Wells Fargo Center all the time to watch the 76ers play. Ben Simmons is talented as hell. But for him to be recognized as one of the best, he needs to work on his jumper. Ben Simmons messes up the spacing for his teammates so much so that when he faces great defenses he gets exposed time in and time in again... He’s talented but when will he take his game to the next level? He’s young still but his game hasn’t developed at all since he’s been in the league. Not at all.
@@ike.o6944 saying he hasn't developed since he has been in the league is such an understatement, defence has gone up to at least 1st defensive team level, he is aggressive at the rim and has been knocking down his free throws in the 2nd half of the season. I know his lack of shooting hurts the team, and it pisses me off too. But I think you just have to accept he ain't gonna shoot it at this point and even without a shot he still kills it every game, unlike some people on the sixers 🙄
Yup. Also when lakers sent the young guys away for ad I think it lit a fire under them. Shame about ben simmons he just doesn't work on it as much he needs. It should be his sole focus. Jumper will add so much to his game
He honestly one of the greatest young players to play the game rn, though people are just bashing his name rn. Yo if you need more basketball content check me out am trying to grow
You can just hear the confidence when he talks now . I remember his rookie year he sounded like a robot and a little intimidated. He’s I a comfortable place where he’s having fun and feels free . When he’s confident he’s dangerous
Lonzo Ball could not improve any further and still be a natural fit with Zion Williamson. 🤣🤣🤣 They don't even have to work at it, the Team Chemistry is just there/automatic.
From a life long Lakers fan I’m so happy for Lonzo on and off the the court. I knew this boy had game been following him since chino hills. I wish him nothing but success and hopefully one day down the road he is able to rock the purple and gold and come home once again
In addition, Luke Walton is a terrible coach nor as a player. I was pissed when they traded Zo. The coaching staff at that time didn't even bother to get.shooting coach to help Zo with his jumpshot. Add insult to injury, the media kept slamming Zo a bust. ESPN is fake news.
pelicans have a nice coaching system going on, BI and Lonzo were considered decent at best with perimeter shooting and now BI is shooting over 40% from 3 with lonzo shooting almost 40% from 3
Lonzo got media members changing their opinions in 360 degree fashion. They gave up on him now are predicting future all star. Only real ones stuck with Zo
Zo is a great young player and future all star player. Injuries stunted his play but also Luke Walton coaching towards him was horrible as well he never believed in Zo playing him 6 minutes then sitting him until 6 minutes in the 2nd he never got a rhythm. Now that he's fully healthy with a coach who believes in him this is the player he was in college and he's only gonna get better period. 💯
Zo and all the Ball brothers get a lot of unfair hate because of their father getting on ESPN and other networks and sounding like an asshole. Lonzo certainly seems like a humble and hardworking guy and you have to respect that. Can't fault him for how his dad is.
Lakers could convince Lonzo Ball to change his shooting mechanics. Congratulations to New Orleans Pelicans shooting instructor for being able to reach Lonzo. The Splash Brothers worked out with Coach Mark Jackson constantly.
@@plusultragaming3586 You are correct, they LET LONZO BALL KEEP HIS SHOOTING FORM. 😑😑😑 Mistake #1 is letting the rookie decide, but Lonzo was injured everytime you turnaround so I agree with the Lakers giving up on Lonzo. Lebron James has taken over as the FULL-TIME point guard and that has restored order = no complaints from the FANBASE about Lebron James not passing the ball to Lonzo anymore. Avery Bradley and Danny Green fit Lebron James's BALL-DOMINANT style as non-ballhandler types that play OFF-THE-BALL. 🤣🤣🤣Both are Off-Guards/ 2-Guards with a Defense 1st-Mentality.
@@plusultragaming3586 High expectations come automatically with putting the Laker jersey on. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 16 Championship Rings and the list of previous Laker Hall of Famers brings extra pressure that a small media market team like the New Orleans Pelicans don't have to deal with. 22-year olds are not equipped to handle the extra pressure that Hollywood brings unless you are Kobe Bryant or Magic Johnson.
elpapi152 melo’s form definitely needs some tinkering. but a lot of his issues come from his shot selection. improving that immediately gets his percentage up 5% or so
It’s crazy how many casuals are still on Twitter talking how his jumpshot is broke. Really shows how much NBA Twitter doesn’t watch the games and know what the fuck they talking about. Especially LeBron, how they bring up useless stats to downplay his legacy. But with Lonzo, people still continue to think he has no jumpshot. Lonzo is an above average shooter now. Every time I watched the Pelicans the man would not miss. Really impressed with the development in New Orleans, between making Lonzo finally develop into the threat he’s supposed to be, B.I. Evolving into a potential demigod, and Zion fulfilling his short lived rookie season despite concert a about injury and weight. Hayes has turned out nicely as well.
As someone who was born in September like BI that's the reason why. The cut off month to start school the year you turn 5 is September in some states and October in others. In other words if the month was october in the state B.I. was coming up in....turning 5 in September he could go ahead and start kindergarten that year and someone turning 5 in October like Zo would have to wait until the next school year to start school.
As a Laker fan I wish the org would of kept Zo and traded Kuz. I understand the idea was to have LeBron at the point but hey...maybe he can be a Laker again like Dwight.
Brandon Spence Ingram will get max, easily. If Jamal Murray and Jaylen getting maxed out, Ingram deserves way more than either of them. If Lonzo jumps his scoring to 18 ppg, 7 RBs and 8+ assist he’s gonna get 25 million minimum.
Nah, Lonzo had the sauce for the Lakers, it was just injuries and pressure from Magic and the media to have everything figured out or a trade will happen

Basketball is not complicated, you just have to ignore the critics. The most efficient shot is a layup/dunk. Should have given J.J. Redick the salary he wanted to stay a Philadelphia 76er.
When the second pick of the draft has a jump shot that looks like that and he’s a point guard .. it shows the lack of skill in the nba these days .. they may be more athletic but damn .. look at Simmons when did point guards not hit a 3 pointer till years into their career
It feels like everybody wants the Ball brothers to succeed.

Same here man, although we had to give up something great for AD. Let's hope he comes back to Lakers some day
He will be the nxt MCW, shot wont stay consistent, wait till jrue Zion and ingram click and put shooters around them
It took one summer to get his shot right. That tells me right there lakers didn’t have the right development team around him

It's 180
Never been a big Lonzo fan but he has improved a lot and I’m rooting for him now. Him and the Pelicans were fun to watch this year.
When is he posting the full vidoe ?
This is a great look into their process. Someone needs to clean Alter’s webcam tho.
Gotta love Zo
You came for 1:44

Zo ❤️ from fan from Tibet
If he can keep his 3pt % above 37/38 he'll be an all star in 2 years or even next year if the Pelicans can be a solid playoffs team.
They should be a solid playoff team unless they decide to fire their coach again after making it to the playoffs
Zo has been snapping!!
I fuckin' love this shit, good job Lonzo. Good work.
Mad props to Fred
Lonzo seems like a good guy. Good luck to him 👍
How fast he’s dramatically altered his form is really impressive say what you want about Zo but he’s got the drive to have a long successful career
Didn’t know jj Redick had podcast
Bro shooting 39.7% from 3....that hard work paying off bruh
We also have to consider the fact, that Zion help spacing the floor, wich help everyone getting better looks including Lonzo.
JJ should just take Zo under his wing and teach him how to shoot lol... ironic one of the deadliest shooters in the game asking Zo about his shot haha
38% on 6.5 threes is great
He already has
Man i miss watching nba 😔
Zo sounds like the generic 2k13 myplayer voice
UCLA Zo is BACK!
Very mature for his age. Lonzo Ball. 22 year old acting like he’s 40. Keep up the maturity man.
