If Lonzo was anyone else, he’d be in Europe or China right now.

Summer league journeyman for 10-12 years.

LaMelo BETTER !
 
good come back by shaq. kobe got a pass for that series. He clearly was trying to be the MAN, trying to win MVP finally and what happened? he shot less than 40% AND you got out played by 2 guards who won't ever make HOF. clearly the worst finals performance by HOF player with at least 2 rings in NBA/WNBA history. know your role, shaq was better you were just a sidekick kobe. if lebron had a series like that he gets killed left and right
 
It's dumb to push your kid towards your interests. Let him/her form their own path.

Agree. That’s why I’ve never pushed my son toward sports. I’ve put him in position to try certain things, but if he didn’t like it, I didn’t keep pushing it. It’s been real interesting to see the kind of stuff he’s gravitated to on his own. Things haven’t gone as I expected before I had a kid and I’ve learned to embrace that.

All that said, I think it is fair to make your kid think very carefully about pursuing an interest that you feel is dangerous or has other big drawbacks.

nah lebrons 2011 is worse. a nut shooting a team out of a series still isn't as bad as the best player in the world wetting the bed against an inferior opponent.
 
Folks literally looking at advanced stats for advanced stats to show Lonzo had value as a #2 overall. Let's be real...Lakers drafted Greivis w/ defense. Put him on any other team with the hype and numbers he put up, the word "bust" would have been thrown around more.
 
He’s going lotto

Not going to lie: when I first saw that claim, I had my doubts because I personally haven’t been that impressed by the videos I’ve seen of him. But I looked into it further and literally every person and media outlet that tracks preps and does draft projections has LaMelo going in the lottery. I know they’re not always 100 percent accurate, but no way all of them are that off on LaMelo.

Unless he suffers a severe injury between now and next June, I’m convinced he’ll be a lottery pick.

Hey now - I think you may be undervaluing that “with defense” part. I’m told that not having Lock-Down Lonzo available more is the reason the Lakers missed the playoffs last season.

:lol

Honestly, I think he'll have a decent career....but he's NEVER going to live up to where he was drafted.
 
I think Gentry will be a good coach for Lonzo. And TBH, I would start Lonzo-Jrue-Redick together with Zion and Favors.

See: Lebron 2011.

You sound really hurt :lol

Thank you, but I am going to hold off on accepting that compliment for maybe another 10 years. I’m doing my best, but whether it’s actually “good” is another story...
 
I don’t know how it’ll sustain itself for another 30 years.

The amount of toxic masculinity that it essentially endorses combined with the tangible physical long term effects of playing the sport has me thinking it won’t last much longer relatively speaking
The cats in the deep south gon keep being the supply of talent...football runs deep in alotta places down there
 
nets need to sign melo ASAP. he can fill in for KD next year and waive his bum *** when KD return. 8th seed locked
