Didn’t hear about 50 inch vertical?

[@demidurden]

That's my guy i want him to truly reach his potential

[@Adiossean]

@@lechugastudiosyt7465 on god😭

[@ChrisbeFoSerious]

Really miss seeing him play man. Loved how he controlled the pace in the half court and pushing the action on the break, always making the right play. Plus the lockdown defense. Then whenever we got the occasional 3PT explosions we’d see why he was the #2 pick. Really fun player man 💔

[@DavidDouglas-pc5eu]

He shouldn't have been the 2nd pick he should've been like 4th or 5th .. Lavar ball sold him so well Magic really thought he was that great. Magic sucks at scouting and running a team, we shouldn't have trusted him he fucked our team up then resigned midway because he was getting critiqued

[@ChrisbeFoSerious]

@@DavidDouglas-pc5eu coming out of college, he was without question the #2 pick, especially since the Lakers had the pick. Revisionist history is easy, but that was the reality. Fultz-Ball-Tatum was the LOCKED order for 90% of the league.

[@DavidDouglas-pc5eu]

@ChrisbeFoSerious no He was only the #2 pick cause Lakers gm was magic and he was compared to magic. DeArrom Fox was always better and beat him in NCAA. It's not hindsight I was mad then when we traded D Lo. He is a better passer than Lonzo to me Lonzo is just more willing cause he can't score. D Lo only got traded for outing Nick Young and I didn't care cause Nick Young was 27 sleeping with a 17yr old and nobody said nothing. From day one I knew Deaaron Fox was better than him everytime they played eachother Deaaron Fox worked him

[@ChrisbeFoSerious]

@@DavidDouglas-pc5eu DLo is a good playmaker, but in no world is he a better Passer (or defender) than Lonzo Ball lol. You just made your whole opinion irrelevant. It doesn’t matter if Fox had a good game against Lonzo, UCLA was dominating the NCAA that year. Fox was given 5+ years to develop at his own pace and it paid off. Lonzo wasn’t given that opportunity in LA, on top of the injuries. If knowing what we know now, Fox still isn’t the 2nd pick lol. 1. Tatum 2. Mitchell 3. Adebayo 4. Fox 5. Markkanen

[@DavidDouglas-pc5eu]

@ChrisbeFoSerious dearon fox is better than Bam first off He just came off 3 seasons of 25 pts and 7 ast stop the disrespect. Secondly Lonzo has never avg more than 7 assist and he gives the ball up as soon as he crosses half court he doesn't even playmake in the half court. Lonzo was given 2 years to shake off his dad's big mouth then a fresh start in New Orleans and we praised him for avg 14 and 7. D Lo went through turmoil and got a fresh start and out up 21 and 7. D Lo avgs the same amount of assist and scores more and makes more flashy passes. Ucla dominated the regular season then got the tournament and flamed out due to Deaaron Fox spanking lonzo dropping 39 points. They only made it to the sweet 16. You just made your case for Lonzo worst he should've went like 6th in the draft

[@HeSoKlutch_84]

Ya hate to see it, fr. Dude was peak in Chicago. That backcourt of him and Caruso was scary on the defensive end. I really hope dude can figure things out, get healthy, and make a return.

[@LebronJames-cl4pj]

I think Lonzo is a prime example of how too much hard work can be detrimental for kids. He used up loads and loads of mileage on his knees early on and also happens to be injury prone. Really unfortunate, and i hope he doesn't have to retire.

[@CrimsonHeart3]

I think it was more the environment of hard work, he was running concrete hills - with lavar as his trainer

[@Romanus-]

@@dafreshprince6315really great nba players NEVER make for good GM’s. Idk why people don’t see this yet. The best GM’s are the guys that were college players or role players in the nba at the most. All time greats for whatever reason can’t evaluate talent. Even Jordan is terrible at talent evaluation so idk why any team would continue hiring all time great players for GM when it hasn’t worked a single time yet

[@wesleyprince3465]

How I feel about Lonzo is weird. I hated his hype in high school and college I'm not gonna lie, but then when I saw how his game could work in the NBA I became a huge fan, people just got the comparison wrong, he was never gonna be Steph with a 40 in, his true comparison should've been a 6'6 Rondo with a 40inch vert. I honestly hope his career can bounce back. The dude himself despite the narrative and how his father acted when he was a teenager, is actually humble asf and you can tell he not only loves playing basketball, but WINNING basketball games. Id take him on my squad any day of the week. He can literally fit into ANY roster and automatically contribute at a starter level..... obviously when healthy, of course.

[@alwayyssgone]

Love lonzo man, he was thrust into a situation he had no control over, even with all people against him he gave up, a true hooper. Nothing but respect for lonzo, wish his lil bro had his worth ethic

[@MrRapmaster19]

Lonzo Ball (and LaMelo too, notice he's already had a plethora of serious injuries too) is the testament to one thing: AAU is terrible for very young potential players. It puts so much age and wear on their bodies, way more than just doing the HS/College route that most players in the past have done. That results in a 25 year old Lonzo Ball having the equivalent of the health of a player in their 30s. I wish for the best, but Lavar is partially responsible for ruining his kids by overworking them with AAU.

[@Bangpaulxu]

Really great video. Really hope Lonzo can get back…..this man’s work ethic plus the way he completely changed his shot really deserves another chance.

[@Coach_Vedo]

He actually proved that jump shot can be fixed over summer with great work. To bad coz this happened to him and i wish that he become healthy and come back even stronger and better.

I always took lonzo's early shooting troubles just as being a result of getting to the NBA and having to like completely start over from scratch with a shooting form. By the time he was in Chicago he was shooting at him more than decent clip and from there it was just the injury that messed him up.

He not gone yet😂

[@user-sc2oi6py2x]

the ZO2’s weren’t ready but it really is not his dads fault, not like he was the manufacturer and it was their manager that advised them to make the shoes not his dad’s initial idea. it’s a big combination of many things. AAU causing his knees to become very used at a young age. The initial thigh contusion he had in 2018 which started off his leg injuries and lack of strength training on his legs when younger as people do a lot more resistance training than weight training like they did back in the 80s and 90s.

[@23droctopus]

Dude is so nice with it.. he’s the perfect non superstar pg to have on your roster because he can guard 1-2 3 the 4 if we’re being real.. great passer.

We all know he’d be a good player if he didn’t have injuries. Top 5 defenses in his position, developed a consistent jumper, and definitely top 10 in athleticism at his position as well. If he could’ve avoided playing so many games in AAU, and alternative leagues he could’ve been healthy enough to play atleast 5 solid years avg 55-65 games a season. Sad honestly because he had so much potential with his defense and court vision.

[@jerrychacko2661]

RIP Steph curry with a 40 in vertical 😢

[@jessonjamesmarfil4584]

Pure conjecture here. But I felt that his confidence was shattered with a combination of a few things. 1. In his rookie year, he wasn't afforded the opportunity to make mistakes. Fans, media, and players all criticized him and tried to dissect his game to look for flaws. I know it comes with the territory, but it wears down on people. You can blame lack of mental fortitude and all but the pressure is real 2. James coming to LA and looking for a running mate. Had James took Lonzo under his wing and groomed him, they would've had more chances to win in my opinion. James opting to look elsewhere for a running mate made other Lakers felt inadequate. 3. Injuries. 4. Politics. When he got traded to Chicago, Zion was really opposed to the idea of moving Lonzo to Chicago.

[@CrimsonHeart3]

It's simple, in summer league he had his athleticism still - later on he lost around 20% of it because of injuries. You can see the shift from his rookie season onwards. Also the shoes during summer league were prototypes, he mentioned that.
