He can change his shot over time as long as he puts in the work, his problem is that he cannot go to his right and shoot off the bounce effectively. His first shot attempt last night was actually an off the dribble shot going to his right and it didn't look that bad, no hitch or anything, but the 2nd shot he took going to his right was so slow and it got blocked because he had to pause and start the windup to bring the ball up across his face.


The guy most people don't know that changed his shot is Curry, he used to have a slower release that was up higher above his head. He since turned it into a 1 motion shot that is basically starting it's flight out the second it gets to eye level.


The difference is steph was a knockdown shooter coming into the league and only had to tweak his release a little.

Jason Kidd would be Jason Kidd in any era. He'd obviously just have to practice his 3 point shot to adapt to today's game.
i remember looking up one time and seeing Kidd in the top 10 of NBA 3point leaders All-Time thinking, "we used to call this guy Ason Kidd?!"

The UCLA coach tried to change his form..he had bad results the first few games and went back to his old form. Lavar said he shouldn’t have even let the coach try to change it..

I think whats most surprising to me is how his passing isnt really standing out like that

he has good bball iq but his passing skills been kinda exaggerated. he needs to have the concept of an actual offense running through him instilled in his head.

That's what I've noticed, too. He doesn't seem to be able to actually run an offense. Fast break game, he's cool, but in the half-court...ehhhhh

PLEASE LOOK UP JASON KIDD'S ROOKIE GAME LOG N GET BACK TO ME

I DONT WATCH BSPN, THEIR GAME IS VERY SIMILAR. PERIOD.

Their games aren't at all similar. Kidd came in the league able to run any offense. Half-court, fast paced - Princeton, post-offense, 3pt-orientated. He'd played in damn near every offense and succeed...and improved the team.

As far as the league is now, the scoring (with 3-4x the 3s being taken) is still relatively comparative to what it was in Kidd's rookie year.

Maybe because Lavar isn't a basketball coach and wouldn't really know how someone should be shooting anyways? :ld:


Lavar is a bball coach and is home schooling and coaching, the youngest son.
After making it a conflict of interest to have said son, take on an endorsement.

So, let's not try to deflect.
Lavar is a coach.
Lonzo needs some extra coaching right now.

Maybe his feet are still hurt from those bootleg Kobe skecher's.
they tried to bait and switch the public with. That were so low rate zo got injured in them and had to wear kobe's injured and play up in an exhibition game to save face.


I have not heard much about big baller brand lately?

I guess the guy who had grant hill fila credits is realizing lonzo is no grant hill.
Too bad there is no dope rnb chick to cause a love triangle on the Lakers and turn all this around like the Toni Braxton, jimmy jackson fiasco did for kidd.

He's a rookies. Rookies have games like this from time to time the problem is it's looks like him being so passive is a major part of his game. I got a lot of flock before the season started saying he's doesn't create for other players he just takes what the defense gives him. It's starting to show itself now.

here's what I see:

Lonzo brings the ball up the court, makes the pass.....then is like :whoa:. "I dont want it anymore"

I think he's not confident in his shot enough, AND as a result, he doesn't want to be embarrased b/c the spotlight on him x100 b/c of Lavar. But he's gonna have to suck it up and deal with whatever happens if he wants to get better.
