Seems like that information is impenetrable/impregnable.

I think they are talking about RG3.


No - Lonzo.


Lonzo dumped Denise? Wow, I guess I missed it.

I thought you guys meant how RG3 left his baby momma for that FSU athlete chick.

It's so bad that it makes me worried about the other aspects of his potential as a human being.

I don't have a problem with that. Take a look at RG3's career (weird comparison I know) he decided to put his brand/popularity first and capitalize on it. His career ended prematurely because of the injuries but luckily he was smart enough to cash in while he was on top. Lonzo's doing the right thing with cashing in while he can.


Well, apparently he's no longer with his baby momma too right? So there goes a healthy chunk of his earnings too.

If he really left his baby momma... come on man. Ugh.

Well FWIW, a pregnant Denise is still a dime.

I remember a former NBA player (low level bench player) came into court to modify his child support payments after he stopped playing. The judge wasn't hearing it.

Maybe. It's not inconceivable that there exists a world in which Lonzo spends 20-30 hours a week on his musical pursuits, hours that were he not so invested in creating (poor) rap albums might otherwise be spent in the weight room, hours spent in the weight room potentially strengthening the relevant muscles to the extent that he would not have sustained the injury.


3-4 extra hours a day of weight training in addition to his normal work outs and practices would make him more likely to be injured. Our bodies need recovery time, and using that down time to stimulate different parts of the brain involved with processing music sounds like a pretty healthy endeavor, no?


Okay I'll reason with you: Part of it for me is the fact that his music is so damn bad. If it were merely kind of bad, or maybe even just plain regular bad, I might feel differently. But it is 100%, Grade A, Freshly Graded B-A-D.

Thanks for that at least.

Lonzo already posted a pic of himself with a new girl this weekend which is why IG has been going crazy over it. I don't know but my guess is Lavar's fingerprints are on this. I was wondering what his reaction would be about Denise being pg and a week later seems she is out of the BBB.

To be fair, similarly aged Jayson Tatum, sweetheart of the NBA also has a baby momma he's not with. Just a lot of complications/headaches for these guys at such a young age. Just acclimating to the NBA and the attendant business around it is tough, but then you have this to work out in your life too, wow.

At age 20 I was nowhere near ready to be a father.

I would argue 60-75% of parents were not ready when they had their first kid.

I was way more ready at age 29-30 than I would be at age 19-20.

Absolutely. I mean the fact that they're no longer together (Lonzo and Denise) plus that Lonzo is apparently already with someone else proves it.

I'm still not ready and I tell my kid that every day. He's getting kind of sick of hearing it after 25 years.

That sounds kinda reasonable. Wonder why the judge said no.

I don't care. Not even a little bit. Please just get healthy and get back on the court soon.
I've seen Lou Williams ball with 2 girfriends sitting next to each other in the crowd. Some Hugh Heff stuff, for real. But he still balled out. 30 point threat in any given night.
I'm tired of the off court stuff. Not even blaming Lonzo for it. Just want to see him on the court more. I still don't think any of us have seen enough to know his ceiling and floor.

B/c he was arguing that he couldn't find any job while the judge said that he needed to get what he could.

As long as its not affecting his basketball, I'll keep quiet about all his BS things out of basketball. Social Media brings alot of crap that use to stay hidden, makes me look down on alot of these players.

Why is everyone jumping to conclusions about the "breakup"? We don't know what is actually happening lol. The person he posted a picture with is a singer, if anything I feel like it's a collaboration.

^^At this point the dude needs to be collaborating with the basketball court. As a Laker fan that's my main concern. I aint saying shut up and dribble or anything like that but improving on the court in his rook year really needs to be the focus.
