LMAO Lakers to enforce "Lavar Ball rule"

[IT IS WHAT IT IS]

History is shown that they will....

They bounced D'Angelo in his Second Year.

Man Lonzo is trash! Russell is better than this retard, and didnt have a big mouth yellow toothed pain in the ass with him. As soon as they get a chance they are going to get rid of this non shooting fake ass Kendall Marshall, and then him and Lonzo and the rest of them will take their 'fame' to reality TV for real....

Lavar knew what he was doing, duping Magic to take this bust. Toyed with those fools and is laughing all the way to the bank!

 

[IT IS WHAT IT IS]

...and I'd still take them over Lonzo Ball.

Lonzo is shooting 31 percent from the field. Thirty-one fucking percent, and 50percent from the FT line. LOLOLOLOLOL

But, it is not the stats - it is the motor.

You don't have to have a motor like Westbrook ... but, god damn.

That motor is not something that you just develop.

I remember when Kobe came out of high school, that nigga looked like he wanted to hit a damn homerun on every play. Yeah, it was an ill-advised style of play, but you KNEW he'd eventually put it together, and you were pleased to see the hyper-aggression.

Exactly!

Slow ass Dude is trash! RIGHT NOW hes shooting 31/25/50? How the fuck is a PG who is SUPPOSED TO BE KNOWN for his shooting, making 50% of his fucking foul shots! Kid is a fucking bust! I actually like him and am pulling for him but .... IT IS WHAT IT IS!

 

[Better]

You can tell memory is very short-term nowadays ...

...'cause the same shit they were/are praising Lonzo for coming out of college, they were praising D'angelo Russell for. D'angelo was supposed to be this incredible passer, who made players better. He is actually developing, but he ain't a Laker anymore.

 

[lightbright]

They need to make a new "Lavar Ball Rule"....don't let ur kid get caught shop lifting in a foreign country !!!

Well how bout that.

[rNubb]

Its sad u support his Dad's scheme. I'll support Stephon Marbury over this dude. At least Steph gives back to Brooklyn and other areas.


Did i believe in duke's talent Nope. He doesn't eat,sleep and breathe the game like a player who wants to stay around 10 to 12 years. As a competitor u should wanna go and show n prove in practice and game time.

If u had a bad shooting night get some shots up post game. That's what Kevin Garnett , Kobe, Steph Mike, Bron , Kd all the greats do.

https://www.starbury.com/new-products/

Bruh, I am calling bullshit.

Marbury got $15 shoes. How many do you own? Write your screen name on a slip of paper and place it in the laces.

You are not a supporter of either.

Why are you demonizing Lavar? He has a vision that he has fabricated. Hooray for him.

 

[dtownsfinest]

Hes a pain in the ass and his Son is slow.... Magics tenure is getting off to a rousing start! Da Fuck made them think they could control this Dude!?!?! Or that Lonzo would be shooting bricks at such an alarming rate?!?! Lavar played all them fuckers!!!

Shit Lonzo at least out there....where Fultz at?

These niggas live in this fantasy world. As if Kobe didn't put up 7 points a game his rookie year. He's bricking. I get it. Dude is a rookie. If you watch him play he's just missing wide open shots. He plays well in other facets....I'm not a Laker fan so maybe they feel different but I see a guy who just gotta develop that jumper from college.

 

[dtownsfinest]

His backup is averaging more points than him.

Who is his backup? Clarkson? Clarkson is a 2 guard 6th man. Not only that but he been in the league a few years.

 

[dtownsfinest]

Exactly!

How are you a bust in your rookie year? Embid didn't do shit his rookie year was he a bust? Simmons didn't either.....Fultz is on the same path....we judging dudes based on rookie years now?

 

[exiledking]

Ok so I take this poll every couple of weeks.

Where are we in the percentage of people here who now accept that Lavar is an idiot? I know a lot of us were holding out for hope to just see if he was really a secret genius

 

[TimRock]

He plays pg too. That's his position.

 

[dtownsfinest]

He plays pg too. That's his position.

Lonzo and Clarkson be out there at the same time at times lol. He's a two guard. He's a scorer. He runs the second unit. Does he out assist or rebound Lonzo? Y'all trying to play Lonzo because of his dad.....they are two separate men. Y'all should be able to separate the two.

He's accomplished everything he's set out to do......everything he's predicted has come to fruition thus far....so explain how he's a idiot

Bad comparison. Kobe didn't start. Kobe wasn't a top 5 pick. Kobe had Eddie Jones ahead of him.

I don't like his dad. But if he was playing good, I would say he was. But he has not impressed me yet. So far, he's overrated

 

[IT IS WHAT IT IS]

Well how bout that.

Caught that huh?

 

[REDLINE]

They don’t like some of his actions and the things that’s he says.

He’s far from an idiot.

 

[alexw]

his backup is not averaging more points than him
please show me tyler ennis's numbers
stop the bullshit
and bball is more than just scoring

 

[IT IS WHAT IT IS]

How are you a bust in your rookie year? Embid didn't do shit his rookie year was he a bust? Simmons didn't either.....Fultz is on the same path....we judging dudes based on rookie years now?

Fultz has an injury and hasnt played. Embiid had an injury and didnt play. Simmons had an injury and didnt play. You arent a bust if you are injured and cant play, you are a bust if you play and are trash. Dude is a historically bad shooter and has people spending more time copping please for him than celebrating his play. Simmons by league rules is a rookie, and by far the best one....

Unless things change, Lonzo is a bust, until proven otherwise, his on court performance indicates hes a bust... its really that simple. Hope the Kid improves, seems like a nice enough kid and Im pulling for him, but as of now, all indications are hes a better version of Kendall Marshall....

 

[IT IS WHAT IT IS]

Shit Lonzo at least out there....where Fultz at?

Is Lonzo REALLY out there?!?!?

Hes not out there shooting historically bad thats for sure! Him being out has nothing to do with Lonzo being historically bad either, he was shooting a higher % than Lonzo is HEALTHY when he did play, hurt...

 

[exiledking]

He's accomplished everything he's set out to do......everything he's predicted has come to fruition thus far....so explain how he's a idiot

What did he set out to do again? Make some noise and money off the back of his son for ONE year then expose himself as clueless? Well you're right then.

 

[dtownsfinest]

What did he set out to do again? Make some noise and money off the back of his son for ONE year then expose himself as clueless? Well you're right then.

The whole goal was to put him and his kids in position to win off of their own backs and not by taking some weak ass .002% deal from Nike. Thus far I haven't seen shit. Now if you want to later on down the road say he's fucked Lonzo up form having a successful career? Then so be it. But y'all praying on their demise before its even happening.

Bad comparison. Kobe didn't start. Kobe wasn't a top 5 pick. Kobe had Eddie Jones ahead of him.

That's not a bad comparison. Kobe Bryant wasn't good enough to start over Eddie Jones his rookie year. Same shit goes here. You guys want him to...i'm not sure what you want him to be. Dude was the youngest player to record a triple double. He's putting up 9/7/7....that's a solid stat line for a rookie. Solid for any pro.

I don't like his dad. But if he was playing good, I would say he was. But he has not impressed me yet. So far, he's overrated

He's a rookie man. You want him to be Ben Simmons......he's not that yet...or hell he may never be that. IMO, his ceiling was always a Rondo in his prime with a solid jump shot. He's out there playing and he's not in over his head. His shot is just broke. This dude is a rookie man.....just a quarter of the season has been played you and you writing him off. That smells like agenda to me.

They don’t like some of his actions and the things that’s he says.

He’s far from an idiot.

Right. And you can say that. Say you don't like the man. Fair enough. But a idiot? He may be one.....but he hasn't shown it yet. Every move he's made IMO, has been calculated whether it was a good move or not.

 

[dtownsfinest]

Is Lonzo REALLY out there?!?!?

Hes not out there shooting historically bad thats for sure! Him being out has nothing to do with Lonzo being historically bad either, he was shooting a higher % than Lonzo is HEALTHY when he did play, hurt...

The muthafucka in a suit. Give me the dude who can put his shoes on and actually stay healthy as opposed to the nigga who stay in a suit and can't play back to back games in his prime.

Fultz has an injury and hasnt played. Embiid had an injury and didnt play. Simmons had an injury and didnt play. You arent a bust if you are injured and cant play, you are a bust if you play and are trash. Dude is a historically bad shooter and has people spending more time copping please for him than celebrating his play. Simmons by league rules is a rookie, and by far the best one....

Unless things change, Lonzo is a bust, until proven otherwise, his on court performance indicates hes a bust... its really that simple. Hope the Kid improves, seems like a nice enough kid and Im pulling for him, but as of now, all indications are hes a better version of Kendall Marshall....

So if you go out there and play like a rookie.......putting up 9/7/7....you are a bust. But if you never step out on the court....like a Greg Oden....then you deserve the benefit of the doubt. I wish I could understand your logic....but its going over my damn head.

And Simmons is a rookie because...he was hurt last season. All them dudes were hurt. Just like Greg Oden before them. Now i'm not saying they are going to be Oden. Embid and Simmons have both proved they can play and play at a high level. But if we pulled this bullshit of judging rookies based on how they performed? They'd be considered busts because they couldn't even get out on the damn court. And Embid is still over here not able to play the 2nd night of a back to back and the boy not even 24 yet.

Y'all in a rush to call him a bust is a agenda y'all got against his dad. Separate the two is all i'm saying. Nobody is judged in their rookie season. Not in any sport. Ben Simmons is a second year pro who didn't play last year. He looks great. But he's benefiting from being in a NBA offense for a 2nd year even if he was hurt last year.

 

[dtownsfinest]

Man they trying to play Lonzo man......Clarkson is a 2 guard. Sure he plays point with that 2nd unit but when he's out there with Lonzo he's not the point.

Ben will be Rookie of the year with no asterisk no matter.what your opinion is. You go ahead and enjoy an overrated bust shooting historically bad! Those little stats quoted, comprise of two or three decent games and don't tell the whole story. What you call Hollow stats chief. Why are you quoting stats, continue quoting them, quote 31% shooting from the field, quote 25% shooting from 3-point line, quote 50% shooting from the free-throw line. All historically bad numbers, translated bust! Don't just stop at that feeble stat line.

I would much rather have a markelle fultz on the bench healing, as we still don't know what a healthy markelle fultz will look like, then to have a healthy disinterested no heart having bust who's the worst shooter in the league right now. I think you see how letting a player sit out and until hes healthy has work for us, I'm sure you would like an embiid and a Simmons on your squad!

 

[CADE_BADAZZ]

Lavar Ball building his brand. You would do the same for your family. I would sell my son and make him the second pick for millions. If you don't, you are a fool.....

You know what your right. If that kid had to make it on talent alone he wouldn't make as much as he is making with his father's antics.

You think 13-9 in a week Eastern Conference means its worked for y'all?

Ben is a 2nd year pro. He didn't play a game last year so he's qualified for rookie of the year. I'm not enjoying Ball. I tuned in to see the hype. I haven't been impressed. Well...with his shooting anyway. I just don't hate the kid or his pops. I can seperate the off the court shit from the player. You guys can pretend to be dumb if you want but you know it takes a few years in this league to get your feet wet. There are some dudes who are All Stars now who could never put up 9 points, 7 assists or 7 boards. If he put up 5 more points you niggas wouldn't be saying shit.

And I don't get your point. You value points but you don't value assists and rebounds? Hollow stats? How are his stats any less hollow than what Simmons is doing? Simmons rebounds and assists don't count? You're losing me here. Dude has consistently had over 5 boards a game all year and has had games where he's had double digit rebounding.

All you doing is saying his scoring is shitty. So was Ricky Rubio's....so was Rajon Rondo's. Tony Parker scoring was shitty initially. I remember when Popovich use to sit his ass down for missing a wide open shot. Lonzo having problems scoring even around the basket. It seems flukey to me and seems like something that will eventually be corrected.

The boy jumper is broke. I can't say that in no other language. Which makes it even more impressive he can even put up assists because i'd make him shoot the jumper than pass for a easy 2.

We also play teams outside our conference, including shitting on the bum ass Mavs in Dallas!

None of the players you named were as pathetic shooting as he is, and now hes better than a younger Tony Parker huh? How fucking stupid do you sound!

No, having two generational talents means it worked for us. Take a poll comparing him to Simmons and see how foolish you look, stop it! Hes not remotely in Simmons class whatsoever Bruh.

His shit is hollow because what he gives he takes away and yeah, 13-9 is better than the Lakers AND the Mavs for that matter. Whats Yalls improvement plan again? Yall trash as fuck too now that I think of it!

Like I said, you WISH you had players half as good as Simmons and Embiid, still got Dirk playing big mins, FOH!

 

[NER0]

If Lonzo can get his confidence and activity up .. he can easily get that 9-7-7 to 12-14 points per game and damn near average a triple double
Hopefully (for him) he’s just adjusting to the league

I'll be honest, if he can add 20% to his FG, 12-15% to his 3s and get his FT to 70% he will be ok. Kid was a shooter, but I seriously believe his performance issues are pressure related instead of skill related. I mean honestly, his Dad is in the news every 15 mins and ultimately, for a 19 year old that shit is heavy, especially playing in a big ass city like LA...

Hopefully he pulls it together.

 

[ballscout1]

So how do you control the media from interviewing who they want?
The Lakers management sounds stupid.

They can control where the media has access and where family and friends meet aint it

You sound stupid as fuck if you think they can't. ...loose the media pass for Ball and guess where you won't be working
