Lonzo and his brother Chuck Cunningham and his other brother Chuck Cunningham
- Thread starter E5 Yaz
- Start date
Better shooting clip at 3/7 today for Lonzo, but good for only 6 points in a home loss to the Suns, who don't quite play defense.
Also, how has LiAngelo not been dinged by the NCAA for the Big Baller Brand using his name to promote their brand?
I get that he's suspended anyways for his international indiscretions, but shouldn't this be costing him his eligibility in the first place?

You mean the pick that will hopefully come in at #2 and right into the Celtics lap?
I have a theory about Jail-o -- Lavar is always undermining him by saying he's the brother least likely to make it to the NBA. Maybe this theft + acting out is subconsciously a way to ruin his own prospects (and sabotage his brand) so that he doesn't have to ride the Ball hype train for the rest of his life.
Shock - shocked! - that a hometown scorer is helping the marquee player pad his stats.

He is going to need a lot more help tonight to turn this train wreck performance into something decent
And Lavar gets into a pissing match with the laker coaches. Who didn't see this coming?

"Stop messing around." Is really some constructive coaching advice there, dad. It's the coach's fault. If they would just turn Lonzo loose, then you'd see.

"He's been away from me too long."
Seriously, at what point does this kid man up and tell his father to shut the f*ck up?

At what point does Magic do it? You know he won't tolerate this for long. At that point does Lavar back off out of respect for Magic or does this become the Laker Lonzo War? If there is one guy he might respect it's Magic but I highly doubt it.
From your lips to God's ears. Lavar's 15 minutes expired a long time ago, twitter war with Donald Trump or no.
"Rebound" is solid coaching advice. He sounds like a FBoFW cartoon. Reminds me of a game I caught at Fenway where a bunch of drinks kept screaming "Hit a homah, Nomah." Amazing strategy.
And comes begging right back when his other kids prove to be stiffs on the court. (Notice I didn't say what level they prove this on)
In my experience it's time to stop drinking when the drinks start talking/screaming.
I think it's far more likely the behavior of someone who's entitled and who thinks they can (or has been able to) get away with anything.
Or he's just a teenager doing dumb-ass things. Sometimes a dumb-ass is just a dumb-ass.
Doesn't that guy just review shoes and shoe deals on ESPN? Why would he not do his job?
Didn't know that was a regular feature, as I'd never seen a review posted on the main ESPN site before. Makes more sense knowing that I guess.
Oh, I had the same response when I saw that on the ESPN app last night. But I guess this is the kind of thing that gets "sneakerheads" to tune in. I'm not sure if they always do these unboxing things, but it appears that guy's only function is to talk about shoes.
They lay off a hundred people, but keep a guy who talks about shoes? Okay then.
They probably pay him peanuts in comparison and the young audience most definitely cares about this stuff. I’m sure they have metrics that bear this out.
They definitely cut their staff off at the head and kept as much mid level ‘talent’ as possible. Got rid of the high paid people..but also some/most of the most interesting.
Imagine they’re banking on the real draw being the brand. They can’t save enough by cutting the lower end (and they probably need the number of hands there). I’m sure they figure “we made these people” and that they’ll just do next man up for cheaper. Very Belichickian if you think about it.
Yeah.. I think if you're making a list of people at ESPN that aren't worth the money Jalen is pretty far down it. I like a number of the ex NBA players on their.. they actually know what they're talking about and sometimes provide a little bit of insight into the game. Better than hearing Hubie Brown say 'high percentage' 300 times a game.
Per TMZ, LiAngelo will not return to UCLA. LaVar pulled him out of school amid his shoplifting suspension.
I highly doubt any other school will want to deal with LiAngelo and his sideshow dad.
This might be the only thread on the entire site, and perhaps the internet at large, on which every update brings me some level of joy.
If LiAngelo Ball does not play at a university he could go the Emmanuel Mudiay route for a year or two.
The other two players are probably happy. Now that Ball is out no one will follow this story as much and maybe get back sooner.
