The Lakers are a microcosm of the sense of entitlement young players have.

Lebron 3 titles, 8 straight NBA finals
Rondo 1 title. Played with HOF talent and will possibly be a HOFer.
Chandler 1 title.
McGee 1 title.
Walton, played with Shaq and Kobe, was a coach with the Warriors
Even Stephenson has a tone of playoff experience.

Ingram and Ball should've been thriving this year. Both are top 3 picks from prestigious college programs. Ingram was schooled by Coach K.

Yet all they care about is their brand. Ingram doesn't care and wants the status of being a star without earning it. It's sad when you really think about it. None of them have the will or desire to be great.

And I hope they didnt feel some type of way about being offered to the Pels for AD. They're not about that life. Winning isn't everything to them. BALL still allows his daddy to speak on his behalf. shyt is

 

What makes you say that about Ingram ? Other than the Houston fight he's never in any headlines about anything. Dude literally just shows up and plays ball.

 

BI is very very lowkey, what the hell you talking about ?

 

None of those young players have said anything. All they do is play.

 

Y'all dont get it. It's the way they play, the way they carry themselves. Most of these young cats dont have the eye of the tiger. Giannis has it. Wiggins and Karl Anthony dont, which is why Butler didnt respect either one of them.

But in any sport youth and potential trumps everything else at times.

Sometimes you dont have to shyt.

My opinion

And fans make it worse

 

another dumbass thread

 

TALK ABOUT A TERRIBLE TAKE, GODAMN

 

Tried to sound smart and went full bozo

 

nah they just not built like that on the court

nothing deep

You literally have no idea what you're talking about

 

If anything it's almost they opposite. They're already a close-knit group of players, and were making improvements last year.

This year Bron comes in and they have to adjust a bit -- then he goes down and they have to adjust AGAIN to just all of a sudden not playing Bron ball.

The only criticism that I have with the young core is that Ingram isn't nearly aggressive enough in the right ways, and that Zo obviously doesn't take his shooting serious enough.

 

What the fukk are you talking about

 

lmaoooooo bad thread

 

The Lakers dont play “Bron Ball.” You guys try to talk like Ingram sits in a corner all day waiting for LeBron to pass to him for 3. Ingram is a ball stopper, the majority of his baskets are unassisted and come from iso/PnR where he has the ball in his hands. I’ve watched damn near every Laker game this season and constantly see LeBron deferring to this stick figure ass nikka so that he can catch the ball, dribble dribble iso in the high post, and settle for a contested midrange brick. That nikka just sucks.
