Best of Stephen A. Smith on Lonzo, LaVar and the Ball Family | ESPN

[@terrence8483]

I swear ESPN and Lavar are business partners

[@Dizzinator2114]

😂 I forgot lavar said that crap. We tied with golden State right now haha... Man this dude is golden.

[@AbdulAli-fu1os]

lol ikr

[@AbdulAli-fu1os]

who cares about soccer

[@AbdulAli-fu1os]

yea cuz im american im sleep im from libya

[@lefty7887]

Alex Weiskopf soccer is boring period... football and basketball are the most entertaining sports that God ever created

[@Dizzinator2114]

Alex Weiskopf world cup isn't popular in the US. Sure it's the number 1 sport globally but over here it's not even top 3 I wouldn't say it's top 5 I would put hockey and golf over it.

[@arealgoodguy]

Skip: But Shannon, that 12 game stretch when Lonzo shot lights out. Shannon: Come on Skiup. What about the other 70 games Skiupppp?

[@jaydaytoday3548]

Skiuppp

[@rashardstallworth209]

A Real Good Guy Right, like Rookies dont get better

[@rashardstallworth209]

This kid had a cosch who's learnig (26 out of 82 and 35 out of 82 games), a coach who held him back unlike Tatums, Smith Jr, and Mitchell's coach and Lonzo still was close to a triple double as a Rookie. Lonzo is already Box Office and a Star because he's been in the media since he was in High School and has lived up to the hype.

[@arealgoodguy]

Some have their best season as rookies: Channing Frye, Tyreke Evans

[@willthethrill6171]

Rashard Stallworth Lowkey. If Lonzo was under Brad or Quin then he would’ve developed faster. Luke is a good coach and will improve as time goes on.

[@WyaJordan]

Lavar been speaking facts though ... "Lonzo will be a Laker, Lonzo is a playmaker not a scorer, Lebron will come to LA. BBB still winning even if the Lakers losing"

[@MalrickEQ2]

BIG BALLER BRAND UP 12% TODAY!

[@gwapogie12]

I love when Stephen A and Lavar argue haha its so funny and i dont know why

[@ebkblizzy1044]

You can’t hate lavar he’s hilarious 😂😂

[@dhartley98]

LAVAR REALLY A MARKETING GENIUS. NOBODY USE WATCH THE SUMMER LEAGUE. LONZO COMES EVERYBODY WATCHES SUMMER LEAGUE NOW.

[@tiredoffools8929]

Too Bad BBB is Bootleg Trash. I love Lavar, but his brand is Trash.

[@iamcar234]

You credit Lavar for marketing the summer league? Please... your example is him marketing the summer league? Bruh you think Lavar gives 2 shits about summer league? He wants people to watch lonzo. Not the summer league. If he's such a great marketer, why is NO ONE going to JBA games

[@dhartley98]

styxstormx man stfu u know damn well u wasn’t watching the summer league until Lavar came out and hyped up Lonzo. Now everybody watches. Lavar the goat you just a hater goodbye

[@dhartley98]

Tired of Fools nah u trash just mad u don’t have a father

[@iamcar234]

De’Aaron Rose I don't hate Lavar ball, I actually admire what he has helped his kids accomplished. And I for one started watching the summer league this year. Not even last year.. I just wanted to point out how wrong your statement is. If you're gonna praise Lavar, at least praise him on accurate shit. If ANYTHING , the media has used the ball family to support the summer league. That would be an even more accurate statement then the one you made.

[@dragonxetron7833]

Lavar isn’t as bad as people say

[@Mausus1]

You're right. He's worse.

[@libanguled8895]

Boi

[@arealgoodguy]

Never personally met him. I wouldn't know.

[@SonGoku-sg4yr]

The only thing I don’t like that he did was tell kids there not big ballers if they can’t afford his shoes. That wasn’t cool

[@dragonxetron7833]

Son Goku yeah that was dumb

[@TheFlexZone1]

Lonzo's 3 point shot will improve in year 2

[@brotha1984]

The Flex Zone it better improve especially if we gonna beat the warriors he can't be shooting bricks

[@kevinp665]

Well no shit, you can only go up from this point...

[@kenjiwagner3041]

The Flex Zone He may have it get worse. He won’t be successful with Lebron because he has no off ball game. His confidence might be shook next year.

[@gabe4433]

The Flex Zone he was improving it throughout the year towards the end

[@WhatsBiggin]

It actually improved last year. He shot 40% December to the end of his season.

[@id.icebergslim]

ESPN wont cover the JBA league or anything positive LaVar or the Ball family does -- it's been a smear campaign ever since he bodied Steven A Smith on First Take... Lonzo is special, this season will be great. I'm not a Ball Family superfan, just love to see a family with real talent working together. LaVar has a big personality, but what has done wrong? He just speaks his mind, just like everyone on this network.

[@tdog4405]

Blueprint Style they aren't covering the JBA because the standard is terrible. That's why!

[@dacreativebrinson66]

Troy Hough nope that's bullshit it's because of lavar plain and simple

[@TheW12345]

They don't cover the jba cos it is competition vs the ncaa which they cover

[@dhartley98]

NOTICE THEY ONLY TALK ABOUT HIS SHOT. HE DOES THAT EVERYTHING ELSE. Good defender. Good rebounder. Great playmaker. His potential is SCARY

[@micojohnson3344]

De’Aaron Rose Calm down lad💀

[@seanturner3447]

thankyou, anyone can play in the half court and pass the ball to players running off screens. I admire that he is unselflish, but honestly his playmaking is overrated. He's good when in the open court, but when in the half court, offensively he's pretty bad. Can't drive past anyone, no mid range, no ability to finish at rim, so just settles for heaving threes. There were hundreds of times where in the half court, he'd just hand the ball to someone else and stand in the corner...

[@neoanderson9006]

Mico Johnson 26th in the league for defense, 26th. As a rookie. Soon to be the best defensive point guard in the league and easily top 10 offensively within the next 3 years.

[@tanjoel2185]

u left out out his 50% ft man...

[@miguelurbina6151]

Rondo

[@dontmatter1407]

So I gues Malik monk had a stupendous year... josh Jackson ?? Smh the standard for him is crazy lol that boy had a great rookie season

[@JohnnyWalkerLA]

Don’t Matter why didn’t u mention Tatum? He was drafted after him, how about Donovan Mitchell don’t say his expectations were to high when people drafted behind him are doing better

[@dontmatter1407]

Johnny Walker LA because I was talking about rookies who did worse then Lonzo, Tatum and Mitchell were Roy candidates I’m asking why is Malik monk dearron fox and josh Jackson not in espn being called a bust but Lonzo is

[@dontmatter1407]

Johnny Walker LA and I said the standards not expectations

[@hndrxx794]

None of those guys are the #1 guy on the team tho

[@JohnnyWalkerLA]

Pein Lonzo ain’t #1 on the team either he was injured half the time

[@305unleashedgraphix3]

lebron, +lavar and stephen A, this season going to be pure gold

[@basketballmaster18]

305unleashed graphix i didn't even think about that lol. That is gonna be awesome

[@djs10261026]

Idk why Stephen a thinks Lonzo is gonna be a bust (note I'm not a Lakers fan) Lonzo averaged 11, 7 and 7 as a rookie! Hes already proven to be one of the top floor generals in the league and on top of that he's only 19! He has years to fix his jump shot. Not to mention he's a very underrated defender. People say Simmons is a jumper away from being great but in reality.. lonzo is in the same boat in some sense

[@sireboby6367]

Daniel Suchetka Ben Simmons can drive to the basket at will. Can't say the same about lonzo.

[@dacreativebrinson66]

Sire Boby Ben scared to shoot lonzo is not(jutst got to practice on accuracy)

[@sireboby6367]

deon brinson ben ain't scared to shoot. He was playing to his strength which shows high basketball iq unlike Alonzo who's a terrible shooter but still keeps on jacking up shots.

[@Sleptwiturgirl]

Daniel Suchetka *20

[@TrucNguyen-oj7vs]

"One of the top floor generals" , wow, what a exxageration if i ever seen one 😂

[@jhardworkpaysoff474]

Lonzo ball does more then shoot

[@cim888]

That's right, he makes god awful rap tracks!

[@I.am_Groot]

Well it damn sure cant get any worse!!

[@johnlennonjames9361]

Jhardwork Pays off What did he do??? Seriously! DAMN

[@tyronelewis8816]

Jhardwork Pays off yea run his 👄

[@BlazemyHaze22]

john lennon james He gets triple doubles, he gets multiple steals a night, and he is pretty much runs the tempo when he’s on the court. Not to mention all the hustle plays that he made which aren’t glorified on TV or highlight reels.

[@brianspahiu]

I’m Signing With The Lakers Next Year | LA Nation

[@NicoSavage]

No one in the family is nearly as bad as people portray. . Lavar has helped about 100s of people visibly through basketball and I can say any of us has helped how many? Like why do we hate? He just wanna see his family succeed

[@upsouthbrown3581]

1:43 Classic, Lol. I needed that 😂😂😂

[@ultralightbeing6080]

ESPN thirsty for views

[@mattp1914]

They love each other 💕

[@mattp1914]

Making each other money

[@imyourhuckleberry4547]

Lavar Ball is Stephen A' s dad.

[@runitback8423]

Lavar created the wiggle fortnite dance at 1:46😂😂

[@traajiic893]

1:23 Stevan A’s face 😂👌

[@zanep67]

i love how neil just stands there and dosent say a word

[@stephenasmith8926]

Lavar Ball and Stephen A together are golden

[@Amon2012able]

best marketing for BBB .. keep it up ESPN

[@kennmanlib5563]

When he took them glasses off i died😂😂

[@faresghaffari9761]

Stephen A is hilarious 😂😂😂

[@VT-fh9fm]

no, he really isn't...don't be fooled...its all an act

[@Bomma45]

LaVar really needs his own show like some1 said lol👌🏽😎

[@feedgotcha]

I don’t ever remember Lonzo being drafted because of his amazing shot and scoring 😂

[@kechan13]

Bruh Lavar is pure fucking GOLD 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@wachirarisky4284]

Lavar is the real life spongebob

[@LOUIE7189]

I clicked this thinking something new nope. Just ESPN using Lonzo Ball, Lavar Ball & BBB as clickbait. ESPN need to send Lavar a fat check

[@americanborn17]

Somebody needs to give the definition of "high basketball iq". Is it a pass first guy, is it a guy who knows when to pass and when to score, a guy that plays great d all the time, a guy that thoroughly understands his team's plays and the other teams plays, or is it all of that. Its is a hollow compliment at this point.

[@stupendous7848]

Lonzo was a great shooter in college. I remember him raining shots from deep in Rupp Arena.

[@DirtyBeefCurtains]

I like when I can actually agree with Stephen A. Makes it a lot easier to watch/listen to all this 😂

[@TDB2509]

I love this lmao

[@dhartley98]

STEPHEN A SMITH WILL EAT THOSE WORDS‼️

[@1rdw_]

Right I’m sick of his hatred towards lonzo

[@lildagga2064]

These the same folks that say they don’t like LaVar lmao yet they got a whole 20 min video smh clowns

[@mangberto6047]

I think Lavar Ball should be part of the First take with Stephen A.

[@CS-iu3pz]

"I'm stating to see BUST!" ....Drop the MIC!

[@LocdnLoadedTV]

"Oh it's like that, it's like that"? 😂😂😂😂

[@gabe6281]

He's putting up more rebounds than most Centers.

[@lucpeifer6641]

People always so quick to hop on Lonzo. They don’t even realize Markelle Fultz was the number 1 pick and is now tryna shoot lefty

[@alanc7551]

The fact that this video is 20 min long speaks for itself...

[@RokBaller]

Zo had a good rookie year and will only get better... he is not the player Stephen A "wants" him to be but Zo has a Jason Kidd type game.

[@messiahmessiah9055]

Who else thinks Lavar and SAS need their own show ?

[@SlickGriminals]

“Believe in me like lavar ball believes in his sons” -the lord

[@MoesArt1986]

A point guard had 6 Ast, 5 Reb, and 4 blk. (Didn't shoot well), and Stephen A said he scared he is a bust.

[@dhartley98]

BEST DAD IN THE WORLD‼️ 🅱🅱🅱

[@user-rh8uo7si4z]

AJS,jr AJS,jr someone’s a hater

[@TheAliisawesome]

AJS,jr AJS,jr He is a great dad. He wants the best for his kids and he is always there supporting them. Please gtfoh!

[@dhartley98]

AJS,jr AJS,jr lmfaooo somebody hurt your feelings?? Don’t be mad bitch u don’t have a dad . You’re an embarrassment to your family. Quite sad actually

[@byanymeans214]

Imma lakers fan but this shyt funny 😂😂

[@DMNbyLoso]

So ESPN hates Lonzo and the ball family also... typical

[@CS-np2oo]

This story is playing out like Todd Marinovich. From So Cal. Star at USC. Drafted by LA Raiders 1st rd pk.. Expectations hella high. SMDH.

[@iFreeThink]

The Lakers could react, "This is indoor basketball - not a mountain hike."

[@rkelez]

Are they on vacation? Haven’t been on the show in weeks?

[@philippghadiri7085]

It was entertaining ....👌

[@Lakersreels24.8]

Thank you Scottie Pippen for telling Steven a big head pushed back hairline Bill Nye the Science Guy looking self something pretty smart

[@1quickster]

I've remember Lavar said, that Lonzo will take the Lakers to the playoff on Lonzo rookie year.

[@gstacks814]

holyshit! espn is talking about something other than lebron? there's probably gonna be a blue moon tonight.

[@StringerBellLivesOn]

gstacks814 and it still revolves around the Lakers. They make the world go round!

[@HermDCrypt]

Stringerbellliveson right I was gonna say that and they have a graphic with lebron on it 😂

[@SpittingFuego]

Lanzo is a top 10 assist point guard right now

[@jnbalmer448]

Rip stephen a smith. Miss that dude

[@nealyjeally3644]

2 yrs later. Story changed, Lonzo had a great time with the 3 nowadays

[@EmadSaadDrasticMeasuresHipHop]

who made this !!!! lol !!

[@yengvang8737]

You see even Lavar is going to court, he will find a way to make good informationa to win the case.

[@AlexanderBeenGreat]

Bro he's young AF. GIVE THE MAN TIME TO DEVELOP SHEESSHHHH

[@Sevy-c4h]

Am a clipper fan and am going to say this now lonzo going to shoot better next season he can actually shoot his daddy put to much pressure on him

[@illorbit2958]

This aged well 😂. Stephen A is a clown.

[@johntaylor9065]

Stephen a. lowkey loves Lavar🤣

[@thatstuff8604]

_LiAngelo just come to Goldenstate_

[@beer.1071]

I love his dad....LMAO

[@ademleadbetter5115]

I forgot how salty Stephen A and Molly got when Jalen exposed First Take! 😂😂

[@leslietoh1421]

well said Scottie

[@MrRich_Nation]

ESPN ain’t got nothing else to talk about! 20 minutes of Lonzo & LaVar hate!

[@jaroncreed]

I love when people say 'the media' is against LaVar when they do everything they can to promote him and the BBBrand..

[@AlmightyTaka]

ESPN still mad about the Jeff Goodman thing 😂😂

[@Wuus]

Brandon Ingram No.2 pick averaged less then lonzo his rookie year but he got no fucking hate lonzo on the other hand

[@stephenasmith8926]

It's because of LaVar. People are hating on Lonzo instead of slating LaVar when Lonzo is just going about his business

[@MikeyMinimo]

Lonzo had the worse shooting percentage because of the additional pressure. The additional pressure pressures him into taking extra shots that he otherwise wouldn’t have.

[@mauricerouse6593]

Really ESPN y'all killing this kid

[@weslongfield3955]

Maurice Rouse nahhhh BBB up 12% today

[@fishermengregg3501]

Second time Steven said it’s up in the air for lonzo

Is it safe to say LaVar Ball is the Joe Jackson of the NBA😂😂😂😂😂

[@AlexanderBeenGreat]

I have faith in the ball family

[@genesisexodus4687]

[@TheKingofKings2272]

[@giahuylenguyen8992]

[@dragonxetron7833]
