Episode 4.
I love how the Balls care about winning more than stats.


Nice episode!!


This show is pretty good, I'm impressed with the quality tbh. I definitely think it is perfect duration, focus of segments for how people (especially younger) watch content.

Whoever is producing this is doing a great job. It's not all basketball and it's not over the top with drama/fake crap either.

Did anyone play with Lonzo Ball on 2K?

Dude looks fantastic, his ratings will even get better once he starts to Impact games.

He'd better perform for 18M.

Apparently $17M was just too low for KCP.

Lonzo has his own page similar to the HEat Index on ESPN years ago

he plays like himself on both games, 2k and nba live.

even in mycareer mode if you're on the lakers and he's in the game with you. you dont have to make him pass you the ball if you make the right cuts. he will hit you for the lob or a perfect bounce pass off the pick and roll almost every time. its pretty uncanny how much they have his tendencies down pat and the kid hasnt seen a nba floor yet. people think its all hype. its not. just like i knew what fultz was doing to people in high school and at washington was real and was head and shoulders above any guard I have ever seen coming into the nba. some people just got it like that and they are serious about their craft. when you put together natural ability with hardwork and the support of your family to boot... and your family was a basketball family too. odds are you will be a successful player assuming you're not week minded(doesnt seem like it) and assuming you stay relatively injury free(lets hope.)

This. Never understood why people said he wasn't before the draft. He's doesn't have elite athleticism but he's definitely above average.

Lavar is actually skinny, he just has a broad chest/shoulders. I thought he was a big dude too until he took his shirt off on Raw . I wouldn't expect Zo to get significantly bigger, he'll likely always be lean. Gelo looks like he got the buff genes.
lavar isnt skinny at all. never has been. he's just not super fat like you thought he was. but you have to notice he actually cut it down a bit since he's been on the media tour.

If you watch the videos of Lavar when Lonzo was in high school, Lavar was fat. He's lost weight (noticeable around the face) since then. But I'm surprised he isn't fatter, especially with all that milk he drinks. Man.

He's gonna get a lot of points on his length and hops alone on put backs, transition, and cuts when he plays with BI, JR, Bogut, BLo, LN. He won't have to rely on his jumper as much.

That dunk was fire!!! The dance added a hilarious touch to it. That video should go viral.

I see a lot of Lebron James in Lonzo. The massive hype, being drafted by the hometown team, the passing IQ and the desire to let the teammates all eat. And if you guys remember early on, Lebron took a lot of crap for dancing and having fun with his teammates. Since Lebron cares what people think about him, he had to stop all that m. Lonzo on the other hand, doesn't seem to care what the people outside his circle think about him, so I don't think the noise will affect him in a negatively.

Am I the only one that watched Lonzo on The Late Late Show with James Corden last night? He was on most of the show along with Sonequa Martin. There were several segments.

Here is a link to 2 of them....a basketball signing clip and the 3rd is a 'Taller or Shorter' segment. Lonzo did really good on them....missed only the 1st one. There was also a small segment where the band leader guy asked Lonzo a crazy question and Lonzo gave back a crazier answer. James Corden said it was the 1st time ever on the show that anyone had given it back better than it was given. Lonzo is really quick thinking and super smart!!

EDIT: I JUST FOUND THE LINK TO THE WHOLE SHOW....WATCH IT ALL UNTIL THE SCIENCE GUY COMES ON AS LONZO IS IN MOST OF IT.

I guess my eyes deceive me. When he took his shirt off it almost looked like his head was too big for his body. He also has one brother that's skinny too.
