Slump? The word slump is used to a player who has proven himself in the league for a long time who's performing below his standards/average. It's not a slump - he's been playing bad from the start, so how is he performing below his usual? Lonzo's current basketball skill is at exactly what he is showing right now, so let's not kid ourselves here Skip. He's a bad player right now. He will get good or even become great, but right now, he's not "slumping", he's just bad.
Skip would be saying he's the worst 2nd pick of the century if his name was Lebron. But I'm not surprised by Skip. I mean this is the same guy who said Tim Tebow hitting .220 in Single A minor league was a success.
Lonzo better get ready for curry 🍛 tommorw remember guys when his father said he better then a 2 time MVP and a 2 time NBA Champion 🙏🙏 ooh plz he a bust simple
Lavar going pull him out the nba and start his own league Big Baller Association(BBA). Where he going to win 7 rings. Avg a triple dub and win MVP. Gelo going win Dpoy because all the steals he going to be averaging. Melo going be 6 man of the Year. Lavar, coach of the Year and executive of the Year.
Donald Trump will do everything in his power to make sure LaVar doesn't get to start his own league until he gets his thank you and is made president and CEO of the new league ABOVE LaVar Ball. LaVar would have to answer to him.
Some people have dug up his old tweets, you're right he's a bronsexual (and somewhat of a Lakers hater) it was Lavars wish that Lonzo played for the Lakers I bet Lonzo himself wanted to play for the Cavs
Skip said Lonzo has the most pressure on him in his rookie year than any athlete in any sport ever😂!!! Dude must not have heard of Jackie Robinson in the MLB😂😂
Branden Hall exactly! According to Skip 41 % in college is amazing but LeBron hitting 42% in the NBA is meh... Lonzo is a PG playing 33 min/game who keeps acting like he's a good shooter when he's really the worst in the league! I hope Curry lights him up and he finally comes to admit how bad he is at it when he sees a master's craft...
I’m a laker fan and I think skip is in denial haha. Lonzo a bust as of right now. The season ain’t over but so far he’s a bust. 41% in college hahaha it’s the NBA not college skip get over it
ALEX a bust isn’t determined by one season you must be new to basketball do you know how many PGs in the nba had horrible Rookie year? Too many to count , lonzo will get better with time like bi
At UCLA he couldn't shoot either, Skip needs his homework. And his defense was horrible, he plated good against easy colleges, and blew up his assist stats from UCLA's 50% 3 point shooters! Look at both Kentucky games. He was terrible. TJ Leaf dominated Bam and they won, Lonzo was no where. Sweet 16, again kentucky and he chokes again. Fox (His man) scored 39 points. That's who the Lakers should have drafted.
Im tired of people, especially the sports media, giving Luke Walton the pass. He subbed out JC for lonzo with 5 minutes remaining. Lets not forget he said Larry was our best player on the floor tonight despite the contributions from kuzma and pope. Smh
Luke Walton is too blame.... dude rotations are horrible. He benches Kuz and Clarkson when they have it going smh. He has done this multiple times this season costing us games.
Lonzo is not like other players. Stop comparing his rookie season to other players. He should be raising his expectations & working harder not getting excuses. It doesn't even look like he cares either. The difference between him & other rookies is they are going to give it there all & that's what makes you better. Not just saying they are just rookies give them time.
Johnny Derby youngest player to have a triple double and multiple triple doubles next to names like LeBron and Magic. It's been 20 games in his rookie season dude...calm down with the Bust word. Kid has more pressure on him than any rookie in any sport ever. Think about that for a second.
Damien Swan Damien Swan slap your self with that excuse. Lonzo claims he used to it because lavar has been pressuring him his whole life, and lavar claims that too. So what other excuse do you have for lonzass.
OK Ball has been struggling, I get it. But let's keep it REAL. The Lakers have lost many of these close games due to LUKE WALTON'S coaching/rotations. LONZO NEEDS SHOOTERS AROUND HIM! Why is that so hard to get LUKE??Imagine RONDO with no Pierce & Ray Allen, he wouldn't of been as effective. So all of a sudden the STRETCH 4 is not important 🤔? Nance Jr clogs up the floor. LONZO NEEDS SPACING. Kyle Kuzma played 19 MINUTES, 5-7 from the field for 15 points & 3 assist. Jordan Clarkson was 8-12 from the field with 17pts/8reb/3ast. NEITHER of them were in the game in CRUNCH TIME. The Lakers were UP 103 to 95 with 8 minutes to go in the 4TH QUARTER. LUKE then benches Kuzma & JC. The Clippers then go on at 25 to 12 run 🏃 and The Lakers lose. SO if Larry Nance Jr is so "GREAT AT DEFENSE". WHY did The Clippers go on a 25 to 12 run in the final 8 MINUTES???🤔🤔🤔😩😩😩 They needed SCORING LUKE WALTON! WHY IS YOUR LEADING SCORER ON THE BENCH??! A TODDLER would know better. "Mommy why is the guy that scores all the points sitting down?" His mother replies ..."idk son, idk" 😞😞😞😞😞😞
I WISH THEY WOULD LET THIS YOUNG MAN PLAY BASKETBALL,BETWEEN HIS DAD AND MEDIA HE NEEDS TO DO A DAVE CHAPPELLE AND DISAPPEAR AND FOCUS ON HIS GAME THIS IS CRAZY
Shannon Sharpe: “He’s played 20 games Skip, Damn.” 🤦🏿♂️ Skip Bayless: “He’s played 20 games Shannon, Damn 🤷🏻♂️” 😂😂😂😂 This show is so much more entertaining than First Take. Skip>Stephen A
Lakers had that chance last night to at least beat the Clippers with three of their starter out but blew it now...they might get sweep again this season cause Milos, Gallinari and Blake will be back before they'll ever meet them lol...but give Lou some respect dude drop 40+ pts and dunked (something we will probably never see again)
JTSavage98 Now imagine if the Clips actually had their starters? They got beat by their bench LOL Just says how trash the Lakers are and how delusional their fans are when they hype up anybody on their roster.
Lonzo may have the biggest expectations of any rookie but he's also the most apologized for. "He hit 3's in college" "His father is a distraction" "Summer League MVP" "Triple Doubles". He's projecting to be a Michael-Carter Williams right now. A tall lanky guard who can pass, rebound, but can't shoot.
Kobe Bryant sat on the bench behind Eddie Jones his first couple years in the league. Aaron Rodgers sat behind Brett Farve his first few years in the NFL. They should just have Ball come off the bench behind Clarkston so he can develop. Otherwise, he won't make it . . .
I never seen a player in my life get analyzed after every single game, by every single sports show. I'm shocked Lonzo ain't in a straight Jacket, in a padded room, going full blown Looney tunes. He's 20 games in, let the 20 year old breath.
Mike Tank Brown ll it wouldn’t be that way had the hype not been there since day 1. I never thought he was like a beast player, like he’s good, decent but not like a Kyrie or a Russ. But he NEEDS to be aggressive. No more shots. Just driving and put backs
About36GREEKS And that's his fault? Let people get on you about something a family member says. It's ridiculous if you really think about it. It's like someone going to jail, and having to serve probation, then getting a very strict probation officer for something they didn't do. There's people who want him to fail, because of his dad.
TarvarisJenkins24 Yes,he's not that good right now. How many times are we going to beat the same horse, with the same stick. Ask yourself this, even if they didn't have him, and had DLO or some other rookie that was drafted this year. you think the lakers will be a playoff contender in the west?
Skip always tries to bait shannon to say something stupid. He constantly tried to get shannon to call lonzo a bust. He always tries to get people to look stupider than himself, but that is practically impossible.
Lonzo's confidence has been taking hits ever since his dad created such a huge spotlight around him. As for almost everything in life confidence is key to succes. He needs to regain the confidence he had in UCLA...
He's not going to be great, he'll be decent. 15 ppg 7apg 5 rpg. That's really all you need from your pg. He a decent defender. He'll be good, not great
Erik Lerström I didn't say he suck... I just don't think he's going to be the next great pg. The numbers I post is all he need to be. He don't need to be your best player. He need to be a rondo
Skip just sticks to one point “He was great, he was clutch in college!” Shannon gives valid points and analysis and skip just keeps saying “he was great, he was clutch in college. I saw it!”
I don't think Lonzo is in a slump, I really think this is it he just can't shoot. His jumper needs rebuilding from the ground up which is going to be a monumental task very few coaches are capable of helping him navigate successfully.
I think it's too early to call him a bust but the Lakers have to work on that shot. To be honest, he's a prime example of why the NBA needs to dump the one-and-done, and make it so you have to be 21 and older or go straight to the D-League to develop.
No chance imagine players like LeBron or Simmons playing d league or staying in college and have a career ending injury a they wouldn’t get any money and b what a waste of talent
They do need to dump the one-and-done but not in the way you say, the rule just shouldn't exist at all. Players like Simmons should be allowed to make the jump from High School. If teams wanna draft young and gamble on potential then that is their perogative.
Lonzo Ball makes everyone on his team better. Just look at the Lakers bench vs. Clippers: losing 17-26 when he went out of the game, Lakers went on a 28-12 run with them subs in.
Straight bust they give him endless mins on the court Nd can’t even score while kuzma gets a lil bit mins and goes of scores 20 points a game sometimes
Expect kuzma is much more developed, and Lonzo is much more of a passer. Also were like 20 games into the season ? And therefore he's a bust? Relax let him play.
This is what happens when your father over-hypes you primarily for his own financial benefit. Don't blame the kid... The BIG SHOW (NBA) is a lot more nerve wracking than playing at college level. His father just needs to calm dafuq down & let his son enjoy the game & live his life.
Expectations were too high and I think it has gotten to his head. He was crowned the savior already when he was drafted and after Vegas, the hype got louder. Luke should try to have him come off the bench and let the game come to him. Let him earn a spot at the starting 5 and maybe his competitiveness will start to come out.
You are all right in everything you said.........but if this works and he gets through this much criticism this mutch hatred!...he will be a great player! If he makes it through this!
TheParrot1000 he is averaging 7rebounds 7 assists and 8points per game, that's a decent stats. Specially his turnover to assist ratio, this kid can pass.
he's keeping the Lakers brand relevant and making lots of $ with Sold out Arenas.. I know women who know absolutely nothing about Basketball..but they know about Lonzo Ball..and the Lakers..I'm sure Magic and the Lakers are satisfied with their investment.
he still young and there are a lot of strengths in his game but the concern is very very very very real. The overhype is undeniably true but he does have the potential to still be a real good point guard. His shooting is horrendous its honestly scary. Not sure what to think.
HEY!!!! Let’s talk about the Pistons for once!! Detroit is the real deal . Ppl wanna say they not cause they got blew out by Cleveland but forget Detroit played the night before AT Minnesota after beating them 😉
I was super disappointed about the Pistons last season because I thought they were going to be a top 4 team. They are a quality team and with Andre getting significantly better, they are going to be force. (I am a Reggie Jackson fan)
He's kind of like ricky rubio right now, minus great defense. He rebounds and assists. He has a lot of tools, and he's really young. He has time to pull it together. I don't think it's fair for the Lakers to give up on him yet, especially with what they invested. They just have to support him and hope he can put it together
has anybody ever heard of kobe bryant’s rookie season ? that’s my only question naw wait i lied i got another question , how many games have they played ?

Lonzo better get ready for curry 🍛 tommorw remember guys when his father said he better then a 2 time MVP and a 2 time NBA Champion 🙏🙏 ooh plz he a bust simple
Skip and Shannon: UNDISPUTED y'all worry too much
Skip and Shannon: UNDISPUTED I think skip is having an aweful sports journalist year picking Lavar and Dak as HOF picks lmao. Skip ur bad bruh.
Skip, is the GREATEST Hype Man of all time.
AMAX you ain’t never lying lol
Daniel Hill 😥😥😥
Lavar Ball,Donald Trump?
AMAX dude Don't you know who is Paul Heyman Right??
Daniel Hill he did hype up MJ when he was in college, and he turned out to be the greatest player of all time lol
This question has been asked at least 3x.... the simple answer is yeah be worried
Kyrie over curry 😂😂😂
Kyrie over curry they ask this question every day
Lavar going pull him out the nba and start his own league Big Baller Association(BBA). Where he going to win 7 rings. Avg a triple dub and win MVP. Gelo going win Dpoy because all the steals he going to be averaging. Melo going be 6 man of the Year. Lavar, coach of the Year and executive of the Year.
You won this comment section, LOL.
Don't give him any ideas.
Hahahahahaga
Michael Jokedan Not My Goat 😂😂😂😂😂 the gelo part is got me dead
Donald Trump will do everything in his power to make sure LaVar doesn't get to start his own league until he gets his thank you and is made president and CEO of the new league ABOVE LaVar Ball. LaVar would have to answer to him.
Lonzo's shot = Barkley's golf swing
Mike N lmao sheesh
That's tuff lmao
W
hahahahha oh my lawd
Lonzos shot < Barlkeys golf swing
They should have never picked him. Plays like he doesn't even wanna be there
he doesnt seem to have that killer mentality.
Replicator he doesn't
Some people have dug up his old tweets, you're right he's a bronsexual (and somewhat of a Lakers hater) it was Lavars wish that Lonzo played for the Lakers I bet Lonzo himself wanted to play for the Cavs
pauliusc0429 everyone can be a lakers hater until they have the opportunity to play ball in LA 😌
His team is garbage
If y’all go one more segment without talking about me , I’m PULLING UP 😤 SIMPLE .
James Harden this made me cringe so hard
You mvp James, I recognize. King and Ky on yo tail tho
Harden doesn't perform in the playoffs so they ignore him
James Harden MVP
Fake RUclips account just as corny as the real thing 😴
My man Stephan Jackson be on fox and espn! Get that money bro
derek henderson I was just thinking that
How? I can't believe it
New few videos
Lonzo drops triple double is he a star ?
Lonzo drops 2 pts is he a bust ?
So on an so forth...
#Texans4Life! #DeshaunWatson4 he’s a bonified bust , he only balled out against the SUNS 🤣
Jay 16 And the bucks, and the kings
People hyping up triple doubles is the real problem
Like a bust cant have a triple double
He is consistently inconsistent.....so yes, worry all you want, you're stuck with Screech, Magic!
magic johnson? laker will be lucky if he turns out to be ricky rubio
Sasuke Uchiha 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Sasuke Uchiha 😂😂😒😂
Sasuke Uchiha great comment 👏👏👏👏
He has potential to be way better than Rubio due to his size to get rebounds and play d, I think he's a better passer too
He'll become skips Tim tebow
Skip said Lonzo has the most pressure on him in his rookie year than any athlete in any sport ever😂!!! Dude must not have heard of Jackie Robinson in the MLB😂😂
Kevin Marshall skip delusional 😂😂😂😂😂
Fantastic Point man... Fantastic. Wow skip has dementia
😂😂
Or lebron james
This man brought up Jackie Robinson. Can't argue with that
3 points is unacceptable
DIB Sports.. it's better than 0, 1 and 2
Isaiah Johnson he never said it wasn’t better? It’s still unacceptable for a 2 overall draft pick who’s starting (I think he’s starting)
Yeah, so far he has 1 game with 0 pts, and 1 game with 2 pts, he only needs a game with 1 point to complete the collection.
I love joy she says nothing
Dylan Harrison yeah and she's fine
Dylan Harrison is she gives good head and makes good sandwiches she's the ideal girl....
Rodolfo Ferreira u know my guy lhh
I love her podcast...joy and shannon undisputed make it happen fs1
But she does look good doing it.
No offense (get it?) but these single digit points in a game ain’t cutting it lonzo.
At least get 10 points.
"I saw this shot go in in the Summer League"
Skiiiiiieeeeup! He shot 38% from the field and 23% from three in Vegas.
Summer League playing against rookies and scrubs, also no1 wants to get hurt in summer league
He keeps saying it was a home game I’m 100% sure the clippers and lakers share an arena lo
Dylan Harrison There are infinitely more Laker fans than Clippers fans.
Frozilla15 both are definitely facts
Frozilla15 but not that night since it was a clipper home game
Never trust a person who eats pizza with a fork.
Michael Jokedan Not My Goat agreed
Agreed
Skip still stuck on UCLA and Sean Lee.😁😁😁
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Skip brings up that 41% like it means something lmfao
Branden Hall Non stop lmao
Branden Hall W
Branden Hall exactly! According to Skip 41 % in college is amazing but LeBron hitting 42% in the NBA is meh...
Lonzo is a PG playing 33 min/game who keeps acting like he's a good shooter when he's really the worst in the league! I hope Curry lights him up and he finally comes to admit how bad he is at it when he sees a master's craft...
I’m a laker fan and I think skip is in denial haha. Lonzo a bust as of right now. The season ain’t over but so far he’s a bust. 41% in college hahaha it’s the NBA not college skip get over it
ALEX a bust isn’t determined by one season you must be new to basketball do you know how many PGs in the nba had horrible Rookie year? Too many to count , lonzo will get better with time like bi
Lakers vs Warriors on Wednesday. We're gonna get to see Lonzo aka Curry 2.0 play against the real Curry😂.
Edit: This just in Warriors win by 40😂
I hope Curry plays.Lavar should be in the building to see how Curry drops 40 on his son.Talking too much can be dangerous.
KingNat curry might not even play
60*
I don't think curry or Durant gonna play I think Kerr just gonna rest them and make sure they are good to go
Scared of someone who scores 3 points?You're almost 30...You need to ump up your jokes.Your joke game's lackin'
big baller BUST
At UCLA he couldn't shoot either, Skip needs his homework. And his defense was horrible, he plated good against easy colleges, and blew up his assist stats from UCLA's 50% 3 point shooters! Look at both Kentucky games. He was terrible. TJ Leaf dominated Bam and they won, Lonzo was no where. Sweet 16, again kentucky and he chokes again. Fox (His man) scored 39 points. That's who the Lakers should have drafted.
GAIGE nooooo. It’s big bust baller
He could be "good" at best but not a superstar level talent
and got Outplayed the next match by fox sent that boy home he had like 6 points 😂
Brick ballin bust
Im tired of people, especially the sports media, giving Luke Walton the pass. He subbed out JC for lonzo with 5 minutes remaining. Lets not forget he said Larry was our best player on the floor tonight despite the contributions from kuzma and pope. Smh
Luke Walton is too blame.... dude rotations are horrible. He benches Kuz and Clarkson when they have it going smh. He has done this multiple times this season costing us games.
Rob Davis I agree.
he rests them to keep them fresh for late game
@@gregoryeverson741 rest them after they miss a shot not when they are hot
Each game Lonzo plays is one where the Lakers kick themselves for not picking Tatum...
If he's not the #2 overall pick. We might not even notice or talk about him. He's just as good the 2nd round picks. Lakers got scammed with $30mil 😂
will lonzo make 100 points by the end of the season ?
Yung Rawn well damn 🤔🤔😂😂
Yung Rawn shots fired
Yung Rawn That's savage dude 😂
lonzo driving a convertible rolls royce, you driving a 1998 Nissan sentra. ha haaaa
Yung Rawn that's funny.
Lonzo is not like other players. Stop comparing his rookie season to other players. He should be raising his expectations & working harder not getting excuses. It doesn't even look like he cares either. The difference between him & other rookies is they are going to give it there all & that's what makes you better. Not just saying they are just rookies give them time.
Savanna Henry we're comparing him to other rockies.
Precedence means something! Always has and always will
🅱🅱🅱ust
Johnny Derby youngest player to have a triple double and multiple triple doubles next to names like LeBron and Magic. It's been 20 games in his rookie season dude...calm down with the Bust word. Kid has more pressure on him than any rookie in any sport ever. Think about that for a second.
Damien Swan He's the youngest by 5 days but if that helps you sleep at night then go ahead and hold on to that.
One (b)ust for every ball brother
Johnny Derby 😂😂😂💀💀💀
Damien Swan Damien Swan slap your self with that excuse. Lonzo claims he used to it because lavar has been pressuring him his whole life, and lavar claims that too. So what other excuse do you have for lonzass.
OK Ball has been struggling, I get it. But let's keep it REAL. The Lakers have lost many of these close games due to LUKE WALTON'S coaching/rotations. LONZO NEEDS SHOOTERS AROUND HIM! Why is that so hard to get LUKE??Imagine RONDO with no Pierce & Ray Allen, he wouldn't of been as effective. So all of a sudden the STRETCH 4 is not important 🤔? Nance Jr clogs up the floor.

The Clippers then go on at 25 to 12 run 🏃 and The Lakers lose. SO if Larry Nance Jr is so "GREAT AT DEFENSE". WHY did The Clippers go on a 25 to 12 run in the final 8 MINUTES???🤔🤔🤔😩😩😩
They needed SCORING LUKE WALTON! WHY IS YOUR LEADING SCORER ON THE BENCH??! A TODDLER would know better. "Mommy why is the guy that scores all the points sitting down?" His mother replies ..."idk son, idk"
😞😞😞😞😞😞
preach.
Your so right about luke, man zubac is the future an you but him 3 center, wtf
Gonzalez Jose I used to think it was crazy to trade zubac but damn if he ain’t getting no playing time might as well smh Luke 🤦♂️
Luke is forced to play that POS Lonzo by his BOSS Magic
One word for lonzo ball supporters EXCUSES!!!!!!
Yes. Saved you a click.
You have to click on the video to even see this comment so how you save someone a click
If only we could see comments before clicking
this isn’t twitter, idiot.
I WISH THEY WOULD LET THIS YOUNG MAN PLAY BASKETBALL,BETWEEN HIS DAD AND MEDIA HE NEEDS TO DO A DAVE CHAPPELLE AND DISAPPEAR AND FOCUS ON HIS GAME THIS IS CRAZY
Exactly it's to much distraction for the kid
gvb
MEANING THE DISTRACTIONS FROM MEDIA AND DAD ETC.
Let him play? He cant play!!! Idiot.
Maurice Moore not his fault his father can’t keep his mouth shut...!!!
I'm not a Lakers fan but I hope this kid can eventually get it together.
Joy is super fine.
Tom Chamberlain Molly is better looking tho
blacksfortrump r how can people think that joy is 10 times fitter
Pels fan before the boogie Trade it’s the overall kuz Molly body is better joy is a stick
Skip insisting a mediocre to bust level player is great... who would have thought
Skip: but he was great in the 3rd grade! He was the only kid that could hit the net with the ball.
Shannon Sharpe: “He’s played 20 games Skip, Damn.” 🤦🏿♂️
Skip Bayless: “He’s played 20 games Shannon, Damn 🤷🏻♂️”
😂😂😂😂 This show is so much more entertaining than First Take.
Skip>Stephen A
Did anybody else die laughing when Shannon said “PLAYOFFS”?
It lives rent free in my head🤣
As a Lakers fan I'm very worried about his shooting.
Undefeated pacifist me too real shid
They are going to still be asking this after all star break. 😑
8:55 Jackson right! No one helped Zo when Patrick Bev pushed him down.
I've seen this headline 20 times
Skip he can't shoot. Period.
ericimi on* 😂😂
"Guys played 20 games Skip, DAMN!" LOL!!!!!!!!!
Lakers had that chance last night to at least beat the Clippers with three of their starter out but blew it now...they might get sweep again this season cause Milos, Gallinari and Blake will be back before they'll ever meet them lol...but give Lou some respect dude drop 40+ pts and dunked (something we will probably never see again)
JTSavage98 Now imagine if the Clips actually had their starters? They got beat by their bench LOL Just says how trash the Lakers are and how delusional their fans are when they hype up anybody on their roster.
Lonzo may have the biggest expectations of any rookie but he's also the most apologized for. "He hit 3's in college" "His father is a distraction" "Summer League MVP" "Triple Doubles".
He's projecting to be a Michael-Carter Williams right now. A tall lanky guard who can pass, rebound, but can't shoot.
When are people going to accept that he’s just not that good lol
Kobe Bryant sat on the bench behind Eddie Jones his first couple years in the league. Aaron Rodgers sat behind Brett Farve his first few years in the NFL. They should just have Ball come off the bench behind Clarkston so he can develop. Otherwise, he won't make it . . .
lakers lost because coach walton played nance jr over Kuzma in the 4th they needed kuz offense
just take Lonzo out of the rotation, problem is solved, like have a seat for him at the end of the bench
Diamond are made when under immense pressure
Lonzo a bust
7:46 "Playoffs?!"
Jim Mora would be proud Shannon. 😂
Lonzo makes kwame brown looks like a hall a famer
Never seen a Bust get so much media coverage. LaVar Ball is a marketing genius. The (media) hype around Lonzo is real.
I never seen a player in my life get analyzed after every single game, by every single sports show. I'm shocked Lonzo ain't in a straight Jacket, in a padded room, going full blown Looney tunes. He's 20 games in, let the 20 year old breath.
Mike Tank Brown ll nope , his dad brought that on him
Mike Tank Brown ll it wouldn’t be that way had the hype not been there since day 1. I never thought he was like a beast player, like he’s good, decent but not like a Kyrie or a Russ. But he NEEDS to be aggressive. No more shots. Just driving and put backs
He’s not good lol
About36GREEKS
And that's his fault? Let people get on you about something a family member says. It's ridiculous if you really think about it. It's like someone going to jail, and having to serve probation, then getting a very strict probation officer for something they didn't do. There's people who want him to fail, because of his dad.
TarvarisJenkins24
Yes,he's not that good right now. How many times are we going to beat the same horse, with the same stick. Ask yourself this, even if they didn't have him, and had DLO or some other rookie that was drafted this year. you think the lakers will be a playoff contender in the west?
Stephen Jackson just said the best advice for Lonzo !! I hope Zo watches this clip !!
Skip always tries to bait shannon to say something stupid. He constantly tried to get shannon to call lonzo a bust. He always tries to get people to look stupider than himself, but that is practically impossible.
I like what skip is saying.! He really preaching.. Facts
He's played 20 games, damn!! LMAO
Lonzo's confidence has been taking hits ever since his dad created such a huge spotlight around him. As for almost everything in life confidence is key to succes. He needs to regain the confidence he had in UCLA...
Lonzo ain’t got no game period, I have said it the first time i saw him playing. He plays more like a middle school ball player
Amose Niy watch how he be great
"Playoffs!?" Unc hit em with that Jim Mora LOL!
He's not going to be great, he'll be decent. 15 ppg 7apg 5 rpg. That's really all you need from your pg. He a decent defender. He'll be good, not great
Erik Lerström I didn't say he suck... I just don't think he's going to be the next great pg. The numbers I post is all he need to be. He don't need to be your best player. He need to be a rondo
Milton Gloster I agree. I think he has all star potential but I don’t think he’ll be a superstar.
Not this year with that ugly shot. He's gonna need 20+ attempts to score 15.
“He ain’t gonna get no tech” 😂😂
BENCH LONZOOOOOO!!!!!!!
fr
He's being baptized by fire right now he'll be waaaay above the current rookies next year after getting all this experience
20 still has a lot of potential, putting up decent numbers in rebounds and assists.
I honestly think the NBA media labels rookies as busts way to soon
He's a BUST!!!!!!! skippy...
Skip just sticks to one point “He was great, he was clutch in college!” Shannon gives valid points and analysis and skip just keeps saying “he was great, he was clutch in college. I saw it!”
The Lakers play better without Lonzo Ball. Josh Hart or Ennis should start over him. He is comparable to Kendall Marshall.
Marshall was actually pretty decent when he was with the lakers. He was a great playmaker who could hit the open 3.
I love watching Skip talk it’s entertaining how this person gets so judgemental against Lebron but be so amaze in Lonzo. Soo Naive
*How long is Skip going to make excuses and blame "Distractions" for why Lonzo's poor play.*
I don't think Lonzo is in a slump, I really think this is it he just can't shoot. His jumper needs rebuilding from the ground up which is going to be a monumental task very few coaches are capable of helping him navigate successfully.
hey Stephen Jackson is a great commentator, good job
I think it's too early to call him a bust but the Lakers have to work on that shot. To be honest, he's a prime example of why the NBA needs to dump the one-and-done, and make it so you have to be 21 and older or go straight to the D-League to develop.
No chance imagine players like LeBron or Simmons playing d league or staying in college and have a career ending injury a they wouldn’t get any money and b what a waste of talent
Draftees that aren’t ready to play the game should go to the d league I agree with that
They do need to dump the one-and-done but not in the way you say, the rule just shouldn't exist at all. Players like Simmons should be allowed to make the jump from High School.
If teams wanna draft young and gamble on potential then that is their perogative.
A number two pick has to go to the D-league because he can't play?
Michael DiMatteo well clearly he shouldn’t be a number 2 pick
“its been 20 games shannon, damn”
I WAS SO WEAK 😂😂
he is a bust just like JaMarcus Russell
Joseph Bowen Imagine if Lavar was Russell's father. Yikes...
Lonzo Ball makes everyone on his team better. Just look at the Lakers bench vs. Clippers: losing 17-26 when he went out of the game, Lakers went on a 28-12 run with them subs in.
Straight bust they give him endless mins on the court Nd can’t even score while kuzma gets a lil bit mins and goes of scores 20 points a game sometimes
Hi
Expect kuzma is much more developed, and Lonzo is much more of a passer. Also were like 20 games into the season ? And therefore he's a bust? Relax let him play.
Shannon’s face at the 7:10 mark is priceless lol
lonzo a bum, skip a bias hater,he always hating on king James, but make excuses for everybody he like
Harold Bailey exactly as a Celtics fan I hate lebron but skip makes excuses for players that half a quarter of LeBrons talent and it's annoying smh
Would love to see Skip and Stephen A go head-to-head again, just on Lonzo Ball
This is what happens when your father over-hypes you primarily for his own financial benefit.
Don't blame the kid... The BIG SHOW (NBA) is a lot more nerve wracking than playing at college level.
His father just needs to calm dafuq down & let his son enjoy the game & live his life.
Shout out to Stephen Jackson for growing up.. much respect
Expectations were too high and I think it has gotten to his head. He was crowned the savior already when he was drafted and after Vegas, the hype got louder.
Luke should try to have him come off the bench and let the game come to him. Let him earn a spot at the starting 5 and maybe his competitiveness will start to come out.
Everybody is saying Lonzo is a bust but damn the Year isnt over. Stop acting like he's Ben Simmons😂
King Coopa J Lonzo is a bust.
Daniel Hill hes talking about how ben didnt play at all his first year and people called him a bust
EDP's Yellow & Crooked Teeth exactly💪
But he was hyped up more.
its a sport show bro, we need to talk about something, right?
You are all right in everything you said.........but if this works and he gets through this much criticism this mutch hatred!...he will be a great player! If he makes it through this!
Lonzo needs Jesus
I don't want lavar to fail, as a matter of fact I'm rooting of the ball family, independent is the way to go
Why is Skip bringing up Lavar? It has nothing to do with him... Lonzo is just trash...
he's making excuses fam
Personally I feel Lavar is a big distraction to Lonzo
T Ford nah he's just bad
TheParrot1000 he is averaging 7rebounds 7 assists and 8points per game, that's a decent stats. Specially his turnover to assist ratio, this kid can pass.
Thank god for kuzma
Magic better do something, Lonzo making the Lakers look bad every time he plays like Trash.
UnknownAssassin310 We've looked like trash Since Kobe retired.
Jonny Augz Facts lol
he's keeping the Lakers brand relevant and making lots of $ with Sold out Arenas..
I know women who know absolutely nothing about Basketball..but they know about Lonzo Ball..and the Lakers..I'm sure Magic and the Lakers are satisfied with their investment.
he still young and there are a lot of strengths in his game but the concern is very very very very real. The overhype is undeniably true but he does have the potential to still be a real good point guard. His shooting is horrendous its honestly scary. Not sure what to think.
HEY!!!! Let’s talk about the Pistons for once!!
Detroit is the real deal . Ppl wanna say they not cause they got blew out by Cleveland but forget Detroit played the night before AT Minnesota after beating them 😉
Lets also talk about the blazers
Zack Barkadle I agree
Drummond been ballin
I was super disappointed about the Pistons last season because I thought they were going to be a top 4 team. They are a quality team and with Andre getting significantly better, they are going to be force. (I am a Reggie Jackson fan)
Excuses. When they make the playoffs they will have to beat Cleveland.
I really hope Alonzo finds himself next season. It’s his first of I’m sure many and I think he’ll get it together.
PPG (8.7) RPG (7.3) APG (7.1)
How is he a Bust? Give them Young Rookie Some Time ...
7 APG is junk if you playing 30-40mins a game, take away his 2 good games of scoreing, that PPG drops to like 5.9
He's kind of like ricky rubio right now, minus great defense. He rebounds and assists. He has a lot of tools, and he's really young. He has time to pull it together. I don't think it's fair for the Lakers to give up on him yet, especially with what they invested. They just have to support him and hope he can put it together
has anybody ever heard of kobe bryant’s rookie season ? that’s my only question naw wait i lied i got another question , how many games have they played ?
Lonzo had all summer to play and get good and fix that shot
this has to be the funniest episode of skip and shannon.
SKEEUP
Lonzo should play center. He mostly have more rebounds than their center. His stats would be good for it blocks/rebounds assist is a bonus.:)
