Way to nit pick that quote and take it out of context.

Lonzo is undoubtly going to go to the NBA....and will make about 3-4 million dollars per year for at least the next 4 years
. And that's "at worst". What would impact him negatively is staying at UCLA for more than one year. Dude is a consensus top 5 pick at 18. Your stock only goes down from there. They'll figure it out. Seems they're already building a brand spearheaded by Lonzos success. And the family will be a part of that. Maybe the other brothers do stay in college. Maybe they don't. Maybe Lamelo becomes a lotto pick as well. Maybe they become Pros playing in Europe or the lower leagues. Who knows.
You gotta realize....there are a lot of ways to make a career in basketball once you've reached a certain level and have certain connections. And all of it doesn't involve actually playing or completing college.
College ain't for everybody.

Getting a full ride to UCLA is not a fair trade for the amount of money Lonzo Ball brings to that school. Him going there for 4 years to be "prepared for the real world" is such crap. For the average student it's worth it because it sets you up to make decent money live a convenient life.
Lonzo Ball is going to school for a year because it's mandatory, once he leaves and gets drafted he'll be making millions per year which is much more ideal than what the average student grinds for.

I mean he's 6'3 at 15 I think he's got solid size for a PG and is one of, if not the best PG in his class lol he for sure has a shot at the league.

The thing is he's not a PG at all. If that's the best there is, then the state of high school basketball is terrible. Lamelo doesn't know the meaning of bad shot. Like I'd be surprised if Chino hills even had average assist totals.

You do know....Lonzo went to the SAME EXACT HIGH SCHOOL (literally, 9 months ago).....and is one of the leaders in assist in the entire nation....and a projected top 5 pick in the damn NBA draft.
High school basketball is in good shape. Lamelo gave OAK HILL almost 40 a few weeks ago....at 15.
Dude is considered one of the best PGs in his class. Stop hating on things you don't really know about.

Dude is 6'3?!
He dont look that tall on all the IG posts I see of him.

He shoots 35-40 shots a game. I watched their latest lost against mater dei. Dude shot 20% from the field and missed 20 3 pointers. But he had 30 points so I guess that's all ok. And he only Averages 2 assists per game. Yes. Best PG in the country. Of the best is lamelo ball jacking up questionable 35 foot shoots constantly then something is wrong

It seems like you're using one game to make sweeping judgments about the kid.
And where are you getting that he averages 2 assist a game? I want a source for that stat

Why is this a common belief? Like they can't go back to school and take a loan to pay for it. They can't start their own business?
Also
at you thinking any student athletes are taking anything that rigorous academicallyI was looking at career stats. This season he's at 8 from what I saw
And I'm not saying he's terrible. But I chose that game because they were probably one of the toughest opponents his team faced and his play didn't impress me at all

You would think by now dudes understand that Chino Hills plays a zany brand of basketball
. They were one of, if not THE best teams in the country last year and this year. Lonzo had NO problem transitioning into playing in a structured role at UCLA. I truly don't think you understand the total scale of what we are witnessing here.
Again, Nobody is saying Lamelo Ball will become a top 5 pick in the future. Who knows. But right now....in his class, he's one of the best PGs.
These are the same scouts that have been scouting your favorite players in the league over the past couple of years that are coming to these conclusions.

So you're holding his freshman season when he played with the best PG in the nation, and was coming off the bench for most of the season against him.
And if he averaged 8 assist this season, how is that even mathematically possible for him to average 2 over his career. Huh?
Geez dude, just stop. You clearly aren't being rational regarding LaMelo

dam how tall is mama Ball doe?
New First family of basketball
Lonzo: Do you even know how to play?
when he said tall i thought he meant tall for a girl, she look like she about 6'4
I liked this. Seemed legit and genuine. Family time.
Lmaooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo at those bogus christmas gifts doh hahahah. Their promotional skills are strong lolll. And that table covered in the gear while they watched the game lolll. Come on Lavar hahaha.
Crib looked dope. What do they do?
How come nobody thinks Li-angelo is gonna amount to anything? He has the stocky size that I think would translate more than melo for sure. What is he, 6'4-6'5? I see him having huge games all the time too. 56 the other night. 72 a couple months ago.

But what did I say? Regardless of what I did or didn't watch? I said just the way he's speaking and acting reminds me of a character from a movie.
He's looking at his kids as investments.. so what if they don't fulfill his expectations?
That's all I said. Never said anything as fact or anything else but ight

Also
Why would you go back to school and take out a 6 figure loan when you are already there and it is free? I never said they can't start their on business but not everyone is aentrepreneur and a lot of start up businesses fail.
Again you are assuming but even if it's not a rigorous major or class schedule that degree will open more doors having it than not.
