You're completely wrong on that Lonzo is by far the best shooter he shot 45% in high school 42% at UCLA and 33% last year in the NBA liangelo shot like 20% in high school 18% in the JBA scored a 7 in the JBA 3 point shootout and a 5 in another 3 point shootout at UCLA coming in dead last amongst his teammates.

[@gameinformationpokertheory]

LaMelo was always the most talented of the Ball brothers. Alex was the most talented of the Antetokounmpo brothers. Giannis Antetokounmpo spends all his time getting better at Basketball. Lonzo Ball spent all his time being a celebrity in Los Angeles - he played only 99 Games in two Seasons...hurt during the Summer, so he wasn’t working on his Basketball skills. Lonzo Ball shot 40% FG% as other teams dared him to shoot by not guarding him. The Ball brothers love being in the spotlight too much. I like the Antetokounmpo brothers a lot more - Substance over Style. 🤓🏀 Lonzo cares about too many things outside of Basketball...music, cars, girls, fashion and being a celebrity. All the apples in the Ball family are the same. Twenty years from now, no one will talk about the talent the Ball brothers had...people will not remember the Hype...they will just be forgotten with Time...people will talk about the amazing careers of the Antetokounmpo brothers because they worked hard and realized their potential. The Antetokounmpo brothers are focused on Basketball. No NBA GM will send a scout to Australia to watch LaMelo play. I’m team Antetokounmpo family. 😂
