Jeremy Coleman no they drafted him to be a playmakers you can be an aggressive playmaker look at CP3, Zeke or Kidd. They wanted the ball to try and facilitate and they both get after you on D. Being a playmaker doesn't excuse his lack of aggressiveness.
Atleat this was all about Lonzo and if you think about it ESPN and FS1 will be fine without this story and find something else. Lavar needs to keep craving attention to stay relevant. Plus ESPN is making money off Lavar as well so I thi k both are getting a good deal
Everyone that has played in the NBA believes he'll get better with time and has the potential, and those that haven't played are calling him a bust. Simple.
Stephen A always hates on Lonzo and Frank Ntilikina when both of them have been playing much better than Josh Jackson, Malik Monk, Jonathan Isaac and Deaaron fox #Fax
Joshua Manaid ok bout out of all these players lonzo is the only one playing 33 minutes per game. If you average their stats to the same time length some are better and some are as good or close to as good.
You need to look at PER. Player efficiency rating. How does LA do when hes off the court compared to on. Most games he negatively affects lakers efficiency, they need a vet pg and have lonzo play 25 mins off the bench for first two seasons. Do this and he will be a great starter in 2019. Skills take time to develop and he just dont have it yet, he has the talent to be a rondo level pg though which is legit good.
Let's keep it a buck, Lavar is the only reason we are judging Alonzo so tough because he said the Lakers would win 40+ games, make the playoffs and his son would step into the NBA and from day 1 be better than Stephen Curry. If Lavar didn't say any of that we would be giving dawg an A because of his potential and praising Magic for picking up this kid
Yeah hes 100% right .... but the truth is boring and doesn't get youtube click ;) SAS: Hes not a star in the first 2 months and he isn't being ultra aggressive like Kobe - he must be a bust. Scottie: He is young - what the hell did you expect - hes going to develop his game and become more aggressive and impactful as he grows more confident. Have you never watched Rookie NBA players before ?
+Shawn Kemp Jason Kidd shot 39% from the field (and 27% from three) his rookie year. Not very good. Compare Jason Kidd's rookie year to Lonzo's, and they're pretty similar
but tbh passive player is not good these days especially point guards, look at most pg's they all can score 3 or most of them atleast, or even just scoring, if ur pg cant score ur at a major disadvantage even if u have tmmates who can score
It's kinda funny all the current and former great players like Lonzo game..but ppl who have never played the GAME professionally keep dissing his Game...I have been watching the Game since Wilt...and I can see he is a Special talent...Tatum and Mitchell are Nice...but I'm happy Lonzo is a Laker...he has an all-around Game.... he and Wall are the only point guards in the NBA averaging 1 block and 1 steal...and the 10 7 7 numbers he is hovering around have only been done by a Dozen players...smh...
Having played the game and being able to assess talent are two different things. Take Isiah Thomas as a coach and GM. As great as he was a player his ability to judge talent was atrocious and you will find probably a lot of former players now in executive positions who have misjudged players in the draft in respect of their ability to succeed in the NBA. And Lonzo Ball is one of those players where you can take easily opposite positions. You can argue he has great size and court vision for a PG, is young and will develop. Maybe. But you can equally argue that his shooting woes are a massive red flag and that in today's NBA a player with a crooked shot and historically bad shooting pct will not blossom into a a franchise player and saviour. Time will tell.
When Skip was there, SAS had more genuine reactions and got "emotional" at appropriate times. Now, he gets riled up randomly. Seems fake and disingenuous if you tell me.
Pop Off Then the Lakers offense takes it out his hand or is that Lonzo decision to pass forward and stand around not going to get it back? Just curious
Steef Buren exactly but has the potential to be better all around especially offensively + he's taller more athletic he's a future triple double machine he needs to work on his shot he's gonna do just fine
Scottie out of touch more than MJ dickriders and LBJ haters. he became "very clutch" in 2012. last 2 years was for his PGs ego and hes a team 1st player. Bron been changed his attitude so that wasnt a good example
Harvey Specter. exactly, Lonzo is trash talk about 2 real basketball players. they never talk about or finish the good stuff, as the show went off they were still talking! stop wasing time on Lonzo or talk about all the rookieS who deserve to be talked about at least!
LeBron is *not clutch* ? LeBron *is passive* ?? LeBron is *not a scorer* ?? Damn Scottie get off those drugs man.. Just because LeBron does everything and is great playmaker doesnt mean that he is not a scorer smh..
Bronos 23 - true, you cant say a guy is passive and not a scorer or clutch when he averages a career 27 ppg and leads the entire NBA in the clutch.. smh
But when he was first drafted into the league did you see the leBron James the way we see him today? No we didn’t, everybody was hating on him, including me, and people are still hatin, give him a year or so and you won’t remember lonzos offensive struggle, you’ll remember a guy that is a true PG, that’ll make the right play.
Ishay Ezagouri lol for example when he leads the league in cluth points this year OR when he has more GAME WINNERS in playoffs with better % than JORDAN ....or when he AVG more points than KOBE
Jason Kidd as a rookie had games when he scored 38 points in a game while getting a triple double. Cmon now , can't compare them two, Kidd was on another level.
Scottie check SAS bullshit bet he wouldn't even think bout getting loud w him or Scottie gonna have to calmly raise those 6 ring to the side of SAS head 😂😂😂
The wisdom that Pip share makes Stephen A that look 1:54. I like how Pip doesn't ride the hype for Lonzo, he sees the kid as a player and will play his way not the media way or his loud mouth daddy way.
Leblon could average 40 if he wanted. He could stop passing the ball to players like Kile Korver or Kirie Irving at the end of games if he wanted to. The guy is a beast athletically.
Calm down people. He stuttered the first time and said "Lavonzo," which was a goof. But the other times he was try to say, "A Lonzo Ball." Like how some people will say, "X player isn't living up to being a high pick when there have been better players before like a Lebron James, or a Kobe, etc." Edit: trying, not try
NIGGAZ BE HATING ON BBB. LONZO IS A ROOKIE AND STILL LIKE TOP 7 IN THE LEAGUE WITH HIS ASSISTS AND REBOUNDS. HES RATED 80 OVR ALL IN NBA 2K WHICH IS SUPER IMPRESSIVE FOR A ROOKIE. HE WILL WIN ROOKIE OF THE YEAR B/C BEN SIMMONS DONT COUNT AS ITS HIS 2ND YEAR
The narrative Lebron isn't clutch is old. The only player with so many big shots and clutch performances that isnt considered clutch because he failed before
Simon Said it's not true once again pippen should be banned from Chicago for saying such blastfumist things how many rings they got 6 lebron 3-5 get out of here
I totally agree with Pippen. Not all players need to be agressive scoring machines. It's ok to be a passive player that makes his teammates better and plays the game the right way.
Stephen A isn't asking why he isn't scoring much...he's asking Scottie why isn't he aggressive? You can be aggressive in other ways than scoring. Scottie and max need to answer the question.
Lonzo was completely overrate. He needs to thank his dad for that. Lonzo cant carry a team on his own and needs 2 or 3 great players to help him, so he can just pass the ball to them. They could have gotten that in round 15 of the draft, they wasted this pick on his ass, should have let him go somewhere else. He is a bust, complete bust, people are just homers and cant get over it. Way things are going right now, Lakers are gonna get some more 1st round picks, lets see who they can blow those on, they probably gonna take the other Ball bothers.
J Day Kobe was on a star studded team playing 15 minutes off the bench. Lonzo is on a team of rookies playing 33 mins as the starting pg. poor comparison.
He hasn’t even played 25 games in this LEAGUE !!! U cannot determine if a players a bust in that amount of time u ignorant fuck. Give all the rookies time to develop and at least a season before you cry “bust”.
Kelvin Sudds That sort of barometer is only used for average talent, which Lonzo happens to be. So in that case you are right, give the kid some time to develop. BUUT Lonzo was picked #2 overall in the draft and coming into the NBA as the most hyped player since Lebron James. The dude at the top of this comment section is on point with what he is saying. The Lakers are not getting anything out of Lonzo that they couldn't get out of a 15th round draft pick. Magic squandered a highly coveted #2 draft pick and the Lakers will be ass for at least another decade because of it. Lonzo is a bust plain and simple.
Maurice Terrell pippen thinks you cant learn new shit. like if you couldnt score before, you can never score, and he referencrd brons clutchness as a means of such. fact is, lebron has proven later in his career that he is a very clutch player, which weakens pippens argument. also, jason kidd
Maurice Terrell by the numbers LeBron is one of the most clutch players in NBA history lol. Don't feed into the false narratives lol look it up yourself and stop taking these guys that lie on TV words lol matter fact I'll post it for y'all lol bleacherreport.com/articles/1649232-lebron-james-heat-star-statistically-most-clutch-player-since-nba-debut
I'm sick of people comparing Lonzo Ball to Jason Kidd. 1. Kidd stayed in college a year longer. 2. Kidd had a stronger team his first year, with Mash and Jimmy J. 3. Having Nelly as a first coach vs Walton is a big deal also.
Scottie Pippen's first season, at age 22 - 2 years older than Lonzo - 8 points a game, 3.8 boards, 2 assists, 0.175 from 3. Turned into a top 50 player ever. Give me a break on these ridiculous judgements on 19 and 20 year olds. Give Lonzo a few years, then see how he's doing. If he hasn't gotten better then go ahead and make the judgements.
SAS: "Just do your thing, Lonzo. Play your game. Don't listen to anybody else. Be you" Also SAS: "Be more passive. Be more aggressive. You know that everybody is looking at you" Make up your mind
Lavonzo, Alonzo, my dude, Pip is giving Lonzo all kinds of names. I would love to hear Pippen talking about the Ball family. You would need a calculator to keep up with the variations of Lavar, Lonzo, LiAngelo, LaMelo.
Kobe came from highschool and then from the bench. Lonzo is being given +30 mins per game as a rookie. That's insane. If he was Darren Collison or Corey Joseph he would be benched after that kind of performance
Anyone who thinks Lonzo won’t be great is simply a hater. He’s already excellent, watch the game. His impact is all over the lakers now, they’re playing his brand.
What ppl don't understand is that no matter how bad any player has done in the league you've never had to question their passion and drive for the game when they're on the court and when you watch lonzo it looks like he's just out there bcuz he HAS to be and not because he WANTS to be
Ok so I agree w/Scottie as for zo, but I noticed he took a silent shot at mike. This is when he says that a player should be concerned about helping to make the team better, not about making himself better publicly. - Facts, Rotten Apple Radio
You would think that Stephen A would merely reflect on how he rode Brandon Ingram about his rookie year and just recently publically said that he may have been mistaken about him. Why not give Lonzo the same time-his rookie year before writing him off?
He averaged 15 pts in college. Were people expecting him to come in the league and drop 25. Lonzo lead the NCAA in ast and increased UCLA wins. That's why he was drafted.
i did notice lavar had alot more confidence in college, atleast a couple of games,wait until he is madd comfortable on the court i think he will atleast be scoring 18ppg
Scottie Pippen looks like a sophisticated Sqidward
Lord Frieza Christ Resurrected bruh, take this W! 😂🤣
Lord Frieza Christ Resurrected 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Wow. Fucking great
when he got beat up by the door that made him beautiful lol!!!!!!!!!!
Lord Frieza Christ Resurrected
“Sophisticated Squidward” lol thats a tongue twister 😂😂😂
Pippen speaking facts He's only 20 will only get better within time
XaBadMother Said anyone with common sense. He's only 20.
James Harden People said the same thing with MCW🤔🤔. Plus he doesn't have the right mentality to be the franchise guy
Name one person that said the same thing about MCW.
He might be a bust, he might not. Bottom line it's too soon to tell. We should revisit this in 5 years when he's 25.
Look at Curry when he was 20 and now..It takes time!
Scottie Pippen a legend bro. That dunk on Patrick Ewing was straight nasty.
Pippen is absolutely right about Lonzo. The lakers didn’t draft Ball for him to be aggressive they draft him to make the right plays.
Jeremy Coleman
He was brought in to attract all Stars who want a pg who gives them the rock.
Dude, it's Alonzo
Jeremy Coleman still waiting for that to happen brah, how long should it take? Lol
Jeremy Coleman word
Jeremy Coleman no they drafted him to be a playmakers you can be an aggressive playmaker look at CP3, Zeke or Kidd. They wanted the ball to try and facilitate and they both get after you on D.
Being a playmaker doesn't excuse his lack of aggressiveness.
ESPN might as well be sponsored by BBB
Top Bee u right
Top Bee BBB own ESPN
Top Bee they will they're going to broadcast some of those games from Lithuania
They would , but nobody buys that garbage
War Machine holy hell that’d be horrible
Lavar has ESPN by the balls
Atleat this was all about Lonzo and if you think about it ESPN and FS1 will be fine without this story and find something else. Lavar needs to keep craving attention to stay relevant. Plus ESPN is making money off Lavar as well so I thi k both are getting a good deal
War Machine no doesnt work
NorCalSupercharger fact
NorCalSupercharger it's the other way around buddy, what is Lavar gaining from this? Publicity? Lol...Espn is making millions from this
What are people watching?
Lavonzo ball 😂😂😂😂
ThUnDeR FoRcE no
Baboso Ball?
He had flashbacks of dunking on Alonzo Mourning lol
ThUnDeR FoRcE fan lan fan lan that’s not his name neither, still wrong... 1:35 he clearly said Lavonzo
ThUnDeR FoRcE there's really no difference... you ask Lonzo a question and LaVar answers, it gets confusing lol
*"Lavonzo Ball...Alonzo Ball..." -Scottie Pippen*
This man smoked Way too much that day
lol I'd like to see you try to be calm and flawless while your words are being broadcast to the whole world
Will Scottie ever pronounce Lonzo's name properly? More at 7...
mrfundamental247 LOL
Lmfaoooo
he called him Alonzo LMAO
Lavarzo ball
He said Lavanzo Ball then he said Alonzo Ball.. period. That’s what he said..
Everyone that has played in the NBA believes he'll get better with time and has the potential, and those that haven't played are calling him a bust. Simple.
No you’ve never played in the nba so you just proved his point
Everybody knows Alonzo Ball is better than Lonzo.
But not as good as Levonzo
Steven Joseph *everyone is better than Lonzo.
Neither are as good as laronzo
😂😂
Rolando tho, amiright? He a beast.
LaVanso Ball the untold story coming next week on ESPN’s 30 for 30
He's a rookie. A rookie! Like c'mon, he didn't even play half of the season. Are we really going to judge EVERY game he's going to play? Seriously?
Heraldo Jacques yea that shit really corny. They mad at him bcus his dad has confidence in him
how about we talk about the other rookies that are all playing way better? I agree.
Exactly! Look at Curry's rookie number and now. It takes time!
Wade H Context. Curry did not have that hype coming in.
Heraldo Jacques Y’all hyped him up and now don’t wanna point out he didn’t live up to the hype
Lavonzo ball the next ball brother
Baboso Ball?
Lol shit had me like who that’s why future smashed his wife
crunchtime5150 bruh that was straight savage
Stephen A always hates on Lonzo and Frank Ntilikina when both of them have been playing much better than Josh Jackson, Malik Monk, Jonathan Isaac and Deaaron fox #Fax
Joshua Manaid ok bout out of all these players lonzo is the only one playing 33 minutes per game. If you average their stats to the same time length some are better and some are as good or close to as good.
Fox, Jackson and Monk are studs. Stop it.
lol than play them for 33 minutes
You need to look at PER. Player efficiency rating.
How does LA do when hes off the court compared to on. Most games he negatively affects lakers efficiency, they need a vet pg and have lonzo play 25 mins off the bench for first two seasons.
Do this and he will be a great starter in 2019.
Skills take time to develop and he just dont have it yet, he has the talent to be a rondo level pg though which is legit good.
LaVanzo Ball #goat
😂😂😂 LOL
Such a dummy
Dead
thats the 4th ball brother
Lavar Bust (2.2 ppg)
Lonzo Bust (Statpadder & overrated)
Lamelo & Liangelo both undrafted
Let's keep it a buck, Lavar is the only reason we are judging Alonzo so tough because he said the Lakers would win 40+ games, make the playoffs and his son would step into the NBA and from day 1 be better than Stephen Curry. If Lavar didn't say any of that we would be giving dawg an A because of his potential and praising Magic for picking up this kid
Josh Cargile still not late. I'm not saying we will, but anything is possible.
Scottie has such a calm demeanour. I love the way he talks.
Pippen speaking facts tho
Yeah hes 100% right .... but the truth is boring and doesn't get youtube click ;)
SAS: Hes not a star in the first 2 months and he isn't being ultra aggressive like Kobe - he must be a bust.
Scottie: He is young - what the hell did you expect - hes going to develop his game and become more aggressive and impactful as he grows more confident. Have you never watched Rookie NBA players before ?
Scottie telling the truth ...lonzo is playing how he supposed to be playing like a rookie
ted woods Worst shooting percentage of all time isn't "playing like a rookie".😂
Travler Simpon how about ast, steals, rebounds, top 10 in the league in all those categories
Y’all mean Alonzo
+Shawn Kemp Jason Kidd shot 39% from the field (and 27% from three) his rookie year. Not very good. Compare Jason Kidd's rookie year to Lonzo's, and they're pretty similar
but tbh passive player is not good these days especially point guards, look at most pg's they all can score 3 or most of them atleast, or even just scoring, if ur pg cant score ur at a major disadvantage even if u have tmmates who can score
Did he call him Alonzo Ball the whole time lol..
M G I agree with Pippen that *Alonzo* is just finding his game
M G he said lavanso ball he combined lanzo and lavar 😂😂
Lavonzo, Alonzo, A "Lonzo" lol
Lmao
It sounds hilarious cuz hes being super serious
LOL, he did say it right at 4:30 tho' ;)
This is the best opinion I’ve heard of Lonzo from anyone on this shit network
Thank you Pippen, Lonzo will develop to a great player down the line
ZSPN great is a stretch
Alonzo ***
Scottie on point
He’s been doing better these past 2 weeks he’s being more aggressive and he’s gonna prove everyone wrong !
At 3:36....Steven A. looking down at his notes like, "Yeah....my argument is null and void." lmao
"LaVonzo Ball"
Markel Fultz is the real BUST
Ophillia Balls doge coin?
Cause hes injuried??
Same with that Jackson guy from suns
Guled Mohamed he shoots free throws nastier than Lonzo's shooting form tho...
Lonzo isn't even the best rookie on the Lakers. Markelle gana come back and prove his doubters wrong. Wait on it
It's kinda funny all the current and former great players like Lonzo game..but ppl who have never played the GAME professionally keep dissing his Game...I have been watching the Game since Wilt...and I can see he is a Special talent...Tatum and Mitchell are Nice...but I'm happy Lonzo is a Laker...he has an all-around Game.... he and Wall are the only point guards in the NBA averaging 1 block and 1 steal...and the 10 7 7 numbers he is hovering around have only been done by a Dozen players...smh...
Kevin King I approve this message!
Having played the game and being able to assess talent are two different things. Take Isiah Thomas as a coach and GM.

Time will tell.
Scottie isn’t saying “Alonzo Ball,” he’s saying “a Lonzo Ball” like when he’s making comparisons and such to other players.
What is with SAS and his over-exaggerated reactions? Calm down, its not that serious. This show really took a hit since Skip left.
the ratings r up nd SAS has always acted like this lol u sound dumb
When Skip was there, SAS had more genuine reactions and got "emotional" at appropriate times. Now, he gets riled up randomly. Seems fake and disingenuous if you tell me.
Ratings are not up. Why else is ESPN laying off allot of employees?
People forget Scottie Pippen wasnt that great his 1st year
RellyRell 2020 no they don't. Because they just said that. Smh
His biggest issue is the lakers take the ball out of his hands too often he never catches a rhythm
Pop Off Then He’s a pass first... he’s not a scorers
eL BangBang gotta have the ball in your hand to pass tho he’ll dribble down the floor give it to Ingram and that’s it
Pop Off Then the Lakers offense takes it out his hand or is that Lonzo decision to pass forward and stand around not going to get it back? Just curious
choosenone20901 idk he’s my neighbor why don’t I ask him give me a minute
Pop Off Then cool beans
Lavanzo
that's how lavar sees his kids. Lavangelo Lamar Lavanzo
Josh jackson, malik monk, and de'aaron fox have been playing worse than lonzo no?
Desmond Turner lol heck, even the 1st overall pick. I know he's "injured".
The shooting percentages shouldn't be ignored, but he's going to be better than them as long as he keeps improving, which he will.
Desmond Turner look at their minutes.
His numbers are almost the same as Jason KIdd in his rookie year
Steef Buren exactly but has the potential to be better all around especially offensively + he's taller more athletic he's a future triple double machine he needs to work on his shot he's gonna do just fine
Damn molly is a snack
Steven Stamkos Gulp, yummy!
Well that’s Jalen Roses girl lol
Steven Stamkos Joy Taylor badder
Meal*
Amen
Alonzo ball, lavonzo ball ..come on Scottie
LeBron has become very clutch
Scottie out of touch more than MJ dickriders and LBJ haters. he became "very clutch" in 2012. last 2 years was for his PGs ego and hes a team 1st player. Bron been changed his attitude so that wasnt a good example
Xanninja call people a dickrider...but make a dickrider comment
Robert Con no he hasn't. He's still passive.
You crazy if you think LeBron James is clutch
Robert Con been clutch. Look at his production in the clutch in the post season.
upload the Michael Jordan, Lebron topic already
stfu, Lonzo is more important
ikr. And finish that story about when you told Mike there's a kid that plays just like you in this league. What did Jordan say?
GOAT of LOSING FINALS mj still better
what is still better? did I miss something? lol
Harvey Specter. exactly, Lonzo is trash talk about 2 real basketball players. they never talk about or finish the good stuff, as the show went off they were still talking! stop wasing time on Lonzo or talk about all the rookieS who deserve to be talked about at least!
mj breaking .500 without pippen = 0... pippen without mj = 55 wins.
Not sure who's better LaVonzo, Alonzo or Lonzo?
Lonzo Ball isn't even the best rookie on his team, that's Kyle Kuzma....smh
LeBron is *not clutch* ?
LeBron *is passive* ??
LeBron is *not a scorer* ??
Damn Scottie get off those drugs man..
Just because LeBron does everything and is great playmaker doesnt mean that he is not a scorer smh..
damn man calm down
Bronos 23 I know Lol doesn’t know shit
Bronos 23 - true, you cant say a guy is passive and not a scorer or clutch when he averages a career 27 ppg and leads the entire NBA in the clutch.. smh
But when he was first drafted into the league did you see the leBron James the way we see him today? No we didn’t, everybody was hating on him, including me, and people are still hatin, give him a year or so and you won’t remember lonzos offensive struggle, you’ll remember a guy that is a true PG, that’ll make the right play.
Ishay Ezagouri lol for example when he leads the league in cluth points this year OR when he has more GAME WINNERS in playoffs with better % than JORDAN ....or when he AVG more points than KOBE
Pippen is spitting facts!
Jason Kidd as a rookie had games when he scored 38 points in a game while getting a triple double. Cmon now , can't compare them two, Kidd was on another level.
Dumb Dead1 the season not even over yet tho .... lol
Scottie check SAS bullshit bet he wouldn't even think bout getting loud w him or Scottie gonna have to calmly raise those 6 ring to the side of SAS head 😂😂😂
Scottie the most calm debater ever
Love how max puts in that adlib at 3:00
Valli Meddari lmao facts
Alonzo Ball or Lavonzo Ball? Damn it's LONZO lmao I died when Pippen said Lavonzo 😂😂 💀😭
We need to talk about Ben Simmons more💯
Hublo Trap Why?
Jerry 85g Best rookie year since Blake
Jerry 85g Lonzo good but it’s a lot of hype on him
Hublo Trap Good for him.
Jerry 85g You a weird ass nigga Fam
The wisdom that Pip share makes Stephen A that look 1:54.
I like how Pip doesn't ride the hype for Lonzo, he sees the kid as a player and will play his way not the media way or his loud mouth daddy way.
LeBron Passive? Not a scorer? He's 7th on the all-time scoring list...He's a great scorer. He can just do other things even better.
Leblon could average 40 if he wanted. He could stop passing the ball to players like Kile Korver or Kirie Irving at the end of games if he wanted to. The guy is a beast athletically.
Calm down people. He stuttered the first time and said "Lavonzo," which was a goof. But the other times he was try to say, "A Lonzo Ball." Like how some people will say, "X player isn't living up to being a high pick when there have been better players before like a Lebron James, or a Kobe, etc."
Edit: trying, not try
NIGGAZ BE HATING ON BBB. LONZO IS A ROOKIE AND STILL LIKE TOP 7 IN THE LEAGUE WITH HIS ASSISTS AND REBOUNDS. HES RATED 80 OVR ALL IN NBA 2K WHICH IS SUPER IMPRESSIVE FOR A ROOKIE. HE WILL WIN ROOKIE OF THE YEAR B/C BEN SIMMONS DONT COUNT AS ITS HIS 2ND YEAR
Ben shouldn’t be considered no damn rookie. Sat out a whole year for some process bullshit just like embiid did. Even faltz tryna do the shit
Ben Simmons ain’t no rookie. That ain’t fair to the new rookies.
Apollo Skillz it's his first year playing, how is that not fair?
Apollo Skillz how is that not fair? And this is something that's happened a lot in basketball history. That's how blake won his.
OMGJaGeRBlieber Boss lonzo top 7 in the league? Hell nah. Not even top 20 at his position
Scottie pippen is a very patient person
The narrative Lebron isn't clutch is old. The only player with so many big shots and clutch performances that isnt considered clutch because he failed before
Shawn Kemp only taking 25 lmao
Pippen is soo calm.. I love this attitude
alonzo ball.
axsb HOW DA FUCK U GOT 3 "LIKES" OFF OF SAYN "alonzo ball?" HOW DA FUCK DID THAT HAPPEN!!!!!
"Alonzo Ball" got me weak as hell over here 😂😂😂
Scotty pippen should still be banned from Chicago for saying LeBron is better than Jordan
Simon Said it's not true once again pippen should be banned from Chicago for saying such blastfumist things how many rings they got 6 lebron 3-5 get out of here
for speaking the truth ok if it not truth for speaking wat he believes its a matter of opinion and its a rree country respect a mans view
War Machine facts i didn't see it like that. I feel like that could be the only reason that pippen picked lebron over jordan
Kosi Jones he should respect the fact him and jordan grinded hard jordan playing with a flu to get pippen a ring
War Machine
LeBron still says that to this day lmao.
I totally agree with Pippen. Not all players need to be agressive scoring machines. It's ok to be a passive player that makes his teammates better and plays the game the right way.
La FUNZO Ball
Stephen A isn't asking why he isn't scoring much...he's asking Scottie why isn't he aggressive? You can be aggressive in other ways than scoring. Scottie and max need to answer the question.
Future got ya chick Pip 🤦🏽♂️
I ain't got no love for a slut ima stick my thumb in her but. #stick mode
Pippen - 6 Rings
SAS - 0 Rings
Know your role and listen to one of the 50 best players of all time.
Lonzo was completely overrate. He needs to thank his dad for that. Lonzo cant carry a team on his own and needs 2 or 3 great players to help him, so he can just pass the ball to them. They could have gotten that in round 15 of the draft, they wasted this pick on his ass, should have let him go somewhere else. He is a bust, complete bust, people are just homers and cant get over it. Way things are going right now, Lakers are gonna get some more 1st round picks, lets see who they can blow those on, they probably gonna take the other Ball bothers.
Team
True I agree wasted pick
J Day Kobe was on a star studded team playing 15 minutes off the bench.
Lonzo is on a team of rookies playing 33 mins as the starting pg. poor comparison.
He hasn’t even played 25 games in this LEAGUE !!! U cannot determine if a players a bust in that amount of time u ignorant fuck. Give all the rookies time to develop and at least a season before you cry “bust”.
Kelvin Sudds
That sort of barometer is only used for average talent, which Lonzo happens to be. So in that case you are right, give the kid some time to develop.
BUUT Lonzo was picked #2 overall in the draft and coming into the NBA as the most hyped player since Lebron James. The dude at the top of this comment section is on point with what he is saying. The Lakers are not getting anything out of Lonzo that they couldn't get out of a 15th round draft pick. Magic squandered a highly coveted #2 draft pick and the Lakers will be ass for at least another decade because of it. Lonzo is a bust plain and simple.
Finally someone who is talking some sense about Lonzo. Scottie is a great pundit.
Cant believe I’m saying this but Stephen A is right here
i guess u didnt the video cause stephen A clearly says he wants to see lonzo play more agressive on the court
Maurice Terrell pippen thinks you cant learn new shit. like if you couldnt score before, you can never score, and he referencrd brons clutchness as a means of such. fact is, lebron has proven later in his career that he is a very clutch player, which weakens pippens argument. also, jason kidd
Matthew Daborn he's wrong like shoot like alot of times like Mark Cuban called him out on, on his own show lol
Maurice Terrell by the numbers LeBron is one of the most clutch players in NBA history lol. Don't feed into the false narratives lol look it up yourself and stop taking these guys that lie on TV words lol matter fact I'll post it for y'all lol

if your fine with him getting 5 points a night then he wont last long in this league
I'm sick of people comparing Lonzo Ball to Jason Kidd.
1. Kidd stayed in college a year longer.
2. Kidd had a stronger team his first year, with Mash and Jimmy J.
3. Having Nelly as a first coach vs Walton is a big deal also.
Stephen A's reaction at 3:40 lmfaoooo xD
Scottie Pippen's first season, at age 22 - 2 years older than Lonzo - 8 points a game, 3.8 boards, 2 assists, 0.175 from 3. Turned into a top 50 player ever. Give me a break on these ridiculous judgements on 19 and 20 year olds. Give Lonzo a few years, then see how he's doing. If he hasn't gotten better then go ahead and make the judgements.
Sas roasting and complimenting scottie at the same time. Shit got him confused af
SAS: "Just do your thing, Lonzo. Play your game. Don't listen to anybody else. Be you"
Also SAS: "Be more passive. Be more aggressive. You know that everybody is looking at you"
Make up your mind
Lavonzo, Alonzo, my dude, Pip is giving Lonzo all kinds of names. I would love to hear Pippen talking about the Ball family. You would need a calculator to keep up with the variations of Lavar, Lonzo, LiAngelo, LaMelo.
his last two performances against the knicks and the cavaliers were pretty good
this is the first time since the 90's that i hear pippens voice
Man, ESPN and the media are trying really hard to sell Lonzo to the overall public. It's downright sickening.
Scottie pippen is one of my all time favorites. Im still waiting for a scottie pippen type player to come out like kobe after jordan.
Did Scottie call him lavonzo ball?.. lol.. smh
Kobe came from highschool and then from the bench. Lonzo is being given +30 mins per game as a rookie. That's insane. If he was Darren Collison or Corey Joseph he would be benched after that kind of performance
Scottie's voice is deep he could be batman
People called Pippen "soft" and "passive", too. So, he understands.
Anyone who thinks Lonzo won’t be great is simply a hater. He’s already excellent, watch the game. His impact is all over the lakers now, they’re playing his brand.
Alonzo ball lmaooooo reminds me when Floyd sr said Conor mcgregory 😂
What ppl don't understand is that no matter how bad any player has done in the league you've never had to question their passion and drive for the game when they're on the court and when you watch lonzo it looks like he's just out there bcuz he HAS to be and not because he WANTS to be
"When i flip that to La.. Lela... Levonzo Ball." - S. Pippen
scottie has given the best analysis on lonzo ball i’ve ever seen. Every other analyst is over reacting
You stopped the segment right when it got good....why espn?
"Lavanzo gonna be the best outta all my sons!!!" 💯😂😂😂
*Lavar Ball*
Scotty got dat Pippen wisdom. Facts. 💯
Scottie Pippen the chillest nigga I know
Scottie pippen talks like Siri and android had a baby ...
Ok so I agree w/Scottie as for zo, but I noticed he took a silent shot at mike. This is when he says that a player should be concerned about helping to make the team better, not about making himself better publicly. - Facts, Rotten Apple Radio
You would think that Stephen A would merely reflect on how he rode Brandon Ingram about his rookie year and just recently publically said that he may have been mistaken about him. Why not give Lonzo the same time-his rookie year before writing him off?
He averaged 15 pts in college. Were people expecting him to come in the league and drop 25. Lonzo lead the NCAA in ast and increased UCLA wins. That's why he was drafted.
"Lavonzo" ..."Alonzo". I suspect Scottie didn't know who this dude was until this segment was aired.
i did notice lavar had alot more confidence in college, atleast a couple of games,wait until he is madd comfortable on the court i think he will atleast be scoring 18ppg
only opinion that matters on this show is Scottie Pippen, he is among the greatest team players ever. He knows what he is talking about.
The thing with Kobe is he was 18 a true 18 and he earned his spot because eddie jones was an all star.
