Um this video is kinda dumb.......2 out of the 3 Ball brothers are in the NBA. Thats LITERALLY a 1 in 100,234,009 chance. because basketball has become international. There is no scenario that this family has endured a "tragic downfall" their family legacy is cemented....... they WON!!!

[@jayelbee1111]

Melo just got the rookie max extension that might get him potentially a $260 million bag. So we can pump the breaks just a little on this alleged "downfall". The title is terrible.

They defo began too late for the careers they had and the regimen they were on.

Lonzo and Lamelo will be back as soon as they recover from these injuries because they both are very talented ballers and as for Gelo….. well, I only see him making it on a NBA team if he goes overseas and really shows out which is very possible, if he can get steady consistent minutes to flourish.

[@yerocrazy]

been rooting for gelo since high school but as I watch him play I've accepted that he may never have the athleticism to keep up in the NBA. since he's only 6'5 he needs to be quicker and have better D, spot up shooting can only help him so much, he kinda played like a big in high school but that's not gonna work

[@SuperTeamvip]

@@yerocrazy you’re right man. Gelo could bully people in the paint in H.S but he isn’t bullying anyone in the NBA.

Regardless, all of them boys have already won life, I just want to see them ball as all of them are fun to watch.

[@GhostBirdman]

Liangelo just needs to transition his game harder to his couple strengths. Mainly just become a spot up shooter. You can find yourself onto any bench in the NBA if you're a reliable shooter. Then try and improve and make your opportunity for more from there. You see how hard Liangelo keeps working despite all the rejection. How can you not want a kid with that much heart on your team.

[@araarauwuuwu2266]

None of them have the talent to be a big nba star tbh. Even without injuries. This is a good example of how people's perception can be influenced by majority and how hype can elevate one's perceived potential. Without their Dad hyping them, none of the press, team and scout would even bother placing them as contenders of becoming an NBA superstar. All of them at most, would just be a role player in NBA or a good bench player.

The fact that they have made it as far as they have is incredible. Most kids don't make it this far. But they could have been superstars had it not been for their dad. He is a great hype man, but he had too much control. Lonzo figured that out after he got to the Lakers. I guess LeChina James was in his ear...maybe LeChina has done one good thing in his life. Anyway, once Lonzo figured out that he needed to get away from the Big Baller Brand, he was on the path to be who he could have been all along.

[@JeezWhiz1]

Lonzo and Lamelo have a thin/ small bone structure making them like AD & KD prone to injury. Liangelo just isn't that talented and might as well stake his claim overseas.

[@coops1992]

Yeah same reason why Giannis still gets constantly injured even improving his strength a lot.

The only guy who will stay and survive (metaphorically) is LaMelo, despite the injuries, he'll come back next season, probably better, but must be traded from the Jordan-ruled s-hole team to a solid team like the Grizzlies (replacing Temetrius Morant due to the latter's antics and probably ending his own career). LiAngelo is not good enough for the NBA. Lonzo is completely done like Brandon Roy, even though he achieved less due to earlier injuries.

I'm curious why LiAngelo is ahead of LaMelo. Literally all of Gelo's problems began when he stole a pair of designer sunglasses from a shop in China. There are more than a few NBA hopefuls who did extremely stup!d sh!t like this. Many of them actually served probation or even went to prison for it. Almost ALL of them NEVER got a second chance. Gelo got no punishment, quit UCLA a week later, and then, got like FIVE (5) extra chances. Wait... 1. Lithuania 2. JBA 3. Oklahoma City Blue 4. Detroit Pistons 5. Greensboro Swarm ...yeah, five extra chances. And now, it looks like chance #6. The NBL! So no, Gelo definitely competes with Lavar for the bottom of this list. Lavar only takes last place for the way he treated his own wife, the way his failed BBB brand treated Lonzo, and because so many people who would know say it was Lavar who pressured Gelo to drop out of UCLA. 🏀

If he really believed his boys would change the game, he’d let their game do all the talking.

[@Dud-in9iu]

Lonzo is definitely on his way out. His marketability is trash now that he's had three major surgeries on both his knees at only 25 years old. He is clearly an injury prone player considering his very short career and age. LiAngelo was done a while ago. It must suck to be the middle child and the only one not good enough to play in the NBA. Both his older and younger brothers are in the NBA and he's playing overseas; that must be at least a little humbling. Lastly, I think LaMelo has a broght future if he can avoid the injuries. He does seem to be injury prone as well, but this one may be a fluke; time will tell. He is the overall best as far as skills go, the youngest, and has the most remaining marketability. I think he has already peaked and won't go on to be a hall of famer, but he may be able to ride out at least a decade in the NBA and have a career as a bench warmer on multiple teams at a minimum.

Not a fluke, he’s injury prone

[@SavoxYT]

I swear LaMelo was a real life Butt-Head before he had his braces removed.

[@beaverish]

All three are bad and you can blame their dad for hyping them up so much. Also, lets not forget about the BBB shoes. Lonzo is where he is now is also due to those shoes. I remember when them shoes were torn apart after one quarter.

[@jakeMontejo3272]

Loved Lonzo’s game. If he had a better management team around him in the beginning and also not drafted by the Lakers, he’d been better off than what happened to him. He wasn’t managed in the best way possible. Middle bro is a D3 KZbin content creator- at best. LaMelo - TBD, def not a face of the franchise, more like 3rd best player on a good team or 2nd on a mediocre one.

I lost it when he said Lonzo better than Steph curry right now 😂

[@nkululekondhlovu4020]

What a reach. Lamelo will be in the NBA for a while. Lonzo is struggling with injuries. How is that a fail?

[@martinmarcinkevic3893]

One thing tho lonzo never was any good since he joined, nothing impressive compared to the hype that he had... bold average stats too, very very average. Lamelo will be good.

[@nkululekondhlovu4020]

@@martinmarcinkevic3893 He might have not met the expectation but he is far from bust. Lonzo is the third option on his team, hence the average stats.

[@sdot5389]

@@nkululekondhlovu4020 He’s currently not any option and hasn’t been for two years….with still no timetable to come back.

[@KxCynuous]

man....these boys better learn about Steph Curry's leg and ankle management plan. (things you have to wear, do, and strengthen on when it comes to the legs and feet)

[@1k.besong]

I don’t think it’s a fall off. Being an NBA superstar is rare. Just building out a career is a W. If they can stay healthy Lonzo is a good starter Liangelo is garbage and Lamelo Is a multiple time all star and generational wealth which I say is a W

[@kikatx08]

LaMelo has a future, Lonzo ankles were messed up wearing Big Baller shoes, he’s done. Gelo stealing in China finished him, he doesn’t have the game

[@ArtisDoughpe]

Na Chi x Char gonna make playoff runs get pretty far then make trade demands…join up then bring G3 on board. Do not believe me just watch‼️✖️🏆👀🔥💯💯💯

[@christophersilverio3735]

Lamelo just got a $260M extension with the hornets

[@rogerhuston8287]

Aren't they wearing Ball branded shoes? Maybe they need to wear a real brand?

[@yerocrazy]

pretty sure they stopped wearing them bbbs a long time ago

[@rogelioadagne4165]

Dynasty? What dynasty? They haven't done shit with their careers to date.

[@onetwo1013]

The universe will always find a way to humble you.

[@cupchamp5]

Lonzo is done. LaMelo can come back, and LiAngelo sucks. Lonzo was never worth a shit anyway. LaMelo had promise but he's hurt, and LiAngelo flat out has no game. Overhyped brothers

[@gregorypatten4477]

I want you to do some research in 2016 St Anthony High was state champions and TOC champions and finish #2 at 33-0 in the country behind Chino who did not want to play us.

[@Bobbythiccc]

Tragic downfall??? Lamelo ball is 21 and just made his first all star appearance and is going to sign a 100m+ contract in the next few years. Lonzo is on an 80m contact until 2025, is 25, and he still has plenty of time to heal and improve. Liangelo hasn't been taken off the G league team and his breakthrough is pretty much imminent. They have access to the best doctors and healthcare and will all become healthy. Worst case scenario Lonzo collects 80 mil and doesn't play. Lamelo will fully heal lmao. Imagine making a video about a literal 20 year old who just made the all star team and saying his downfall is coming, you are actually a straight up hater and should be embarrassed
