Everyone clowning Lonzo after one game in summer league will look really stupid...

Draft time/summer league separates the guys who know basketball from those that don't.

If you think Josh Jackson and De'Aaron Fox are gonna be stars, you don't know ANYTHING about basketball. Conversely, if you think Jayson Tatum and Lonzo Ball will be anything but stars, you also don't know ANYTHING about basketball. To me these 4 players are the litmus test for whether you know anything about basketball.

I need nikkas to get on the record right now so that by the time the reason rolls around, I'll know who not to pay attention to.
I can assume you won't make another post about summer league them right

Damn, I need Lonzo to be moderately good, just to keep Lavar in the spotlight.

Regardless of whether it's summer league, that jumper needs some work.

The reaction is justified considering the hype. If he came out this game and put up 25, 10 and 7 you'd be saying its proof of his future HOF career, so dont downplay it after he failed spectacularly.
It's justified to oversensitive semi-casual fans.

MJ, the GOAT, barely played D and had a so-so jumper when he came in the league. If the Coli would've been around:

Free daps, MJ is a bonafide SCRUB - will NEVER get a ring.

But MJ had the mental tenacity to gain weight, bulk up, become an elite defender and a lethal, ruthless shooter.

Imagine listening to people say MJ was just hype.

Same nikkaz who'd do that are wearing Jordans today.

Lonzo may or may not become one of the greatest to ever do it - but the hate and hope that he fails - it's pathetic.

:hhh:

One game sample and only the Lavar haters are overreacting and celebrating. The same type of people called Jameis Winston a bust after his first NFL game and put Marcus Mariotta in the hall of fame after that same first game. The seasons and careers have played out differently since that day especially with Mariotta being a health issue like Jake Locker was. I think Lonzo will be a great player this regular season. I looked for the game on NBATV like the other summer league games I watched until I realized it was on ESPN. ESPN will trot out all these talking heads saying they hate Lavar and everything he stands for but they made a point to have Lonzo's first game on their network. So they are cool with making money off the family but also criticizing them. Reminds me of them having skip Bayless and a lot of other criticizing the Decision even though it aired on ESPN.:deadmanny:
