    who could have known that trying to turn more than one muti-billion-dollar industry on its head with the help of a band of overconfident dunces would turn out this way?

    Answer: Every person who has ever lived, except the band of over-confident dunces. Also, above average intelligence dogs, most cats, and all parrots.

    How does Lavar not check Alan Foster's background at all?

    I'm sorry if I'm Lonzo...I'm looking right at Lavar for all this mess...

    Alan Foster was convicted and actually went to prison for 5 years for exactly the same crap that he's pulling on the Ball Family?

    That is actually INSANE. Lavar should also be fired for lettin this snake around his family...

    I think he did a lot of that stuff really well with LeBron to start the season, he just then went into that awful shooting slump, got into his own head and stopped playing his game. The things they show here he’s perfectly capable of doing with LeBron, it’s just that when he really started to hit his stride before getting injured, LeBron happened to be out injured himself still. I don’t think that means they don’t work, because if it did Lonzo would have played better immediately after LeBron went down, which he didn’t, took him a while to get out of his head and start attacking the hoop and being more aggressive. LeBron had been calling for him to do that for a long time, and LeBron has been one of Zo’s biggest supporters publicly, I think he genuinely likes the kid and likes playing next to him.

    Lonzo is the key to unlocking this teams potential. Keep him at all costs

    I'd be quite scared/worried if our team full potential is based on a Pg that shoots so poorly from all over the place and has barely played 90 something games over 2 seasons

    I think he can become serviceable from 3 the injuries are another thing, still a big ?. Curry has had a few injury seasons as well but not both of his first 2 years. Lonzo is a big guy to be moving as quick as he does and maybe he's just getting used to it still. His injuries I think sort of show that, a lot of ankle stuff, some knee.

    I’m only encouraged because he’s starting to grow up and take charge of his life a bit.

    That's a good point.. injuries that can definitely slow him down too. That's why his jump shot is such a negative, it's fine when you're young and can jump into the rafters, good luck with that shot when you've had a few lower limb injuries and it's playoff time and you're basically running on will power and glued to the floor from exhaustion.

    I like him though and hope he keeps his focus on basketball/health and winning. Money and the thieves around it ruin everything unfortunately. Always snakes lining up to steal some young guys loot.

    Curry had ankle issues, Zo has injured every part of his lower limb already

    Just false and as for ankle issues I would call double surgeries and countless sprains as a bit more than isues. Curry's averaged 60 games the past 2 seasons. It's not "had" ankle issues, he still has ankle injuries. He's still getting over a sprain from Saturday ftm. Lonzo had a bad sprain this year but has not had ankle surgeries (big difference) and could have played the last dozen or so games if we wanted him to and weren't tanking.

    Zo:
    01/19/2019 Left Ankle
    11/28/2018 Ankle
    11/09/2018 Ankle
    03/29/2018 Bruised Left Knee
    01/14/2018 Sore Left Knee
    12/24/2017 Left Shoulder Sprain

    Curry:
    04/27/2019 Right Ankle Sprain
    04/09/2019 Foot
    11/08/2018 Left Groin Strain
    03/23/2018 Sprained Left MCL
    03/08/2018 Tweaked Right Ankle
    03/02/2018 Tweaked Right Ankle
    01/10/2018 Sprained Right Ankle
    12/04/2017 Sprained Ankle
    12/02/2017 Right Hand Contusion
    11/30/2017 Right Hand Contusion
    11/26/2017 Sore Right Hand
    11/12/2017 Right Thigh Contusion
    04/07/2017 Left knee contusion
    01/27/2017 Sore left quad
    04/24/2016 sprained knee ligament
    04/16/2016 Sore ankle
    12/30/2015 Bruised leg
    02/22/2015 Sore right ankle
    11/19/2013 Concussion
    2011-2012: too many to list
    with at least 7 ankle sprains and 2 surgeries on the right ankle between this period
    it's impossible to find a list of them all anymore
    12-8-2010 sprained right ankle
    2-14-2009 rolled right ankle

    Don’t confuse the narrative with the facts.

    thats fine, isn't Zo list of injuries most of his lower extremities? I'll take 60gms from a guy who can shoot like Curry over a guy barely playing 50 odd games per season and can barely muster 50% from the ft line.
