This nikka Lonzo Ball isn't even good enough to hate

[Malta]

This is fox news-esque spin my nikka

Curry's jump shot is damn near the same since his time at davidson. Maybe a little faster here and there but most guys jumpers change a little bit after years in the league. But best believe it's 99% the same it was back in college. His quick release and range is what got him drafted in the lottery. What your probably referring to is a story ESPN ran on Curry's up bringing. Curry said that his dad told him if you wanna play in the league your gonna have to shoot above your head and redo your jumper but this was way back when he was in Junior high or something. You can even look up Curry high school tapes dude shoots the same way he does now. Lonzo gonna have to redo everything and I mean everything on his jumper and he has to do it at the highest level which will be tough.

No, his shot is not "99%" the same, he starts his release lower now than he did when he was a rookie and he gets it out much quicker -

vs now

Elevated, ball still in the pocket.

Elevated, feet barely off the ground and the ball is already on it's way out

Nowhere did I say he did a complete overhaul, I said he changed his shot and he did, it's turned into a lower release. His shot his first few years in the league was higher and more textbook looking, go back and look at his form from his rookie year. Today, his shot is 1 motion up and out almost like how little kids shoot with push shots, matter of fact he didn't really take that many off the dribble threes his first couple years in the league because his jumper was too slow.

3s assisted
2009/2010 -74%
2010/2011 - 80%
2011/2012 -78%
2012/2013 - 60%
2013/2014 - 45%
2014/2015 - 57%
2015/2016 - 54%


I highlighted 2011-2012 because that's the year he played 26 games, so explain to me what changed between then and the following years that helped him get his threes off the dribble more He changed his release and it's backed up by numbers in conjunction with actually just going back and looking at his form.


I can post a lot more gifs if need be.

Just a couple more of those and he’ll be on Kris Dunn level

Everyone was saying this before the draft and got labeled haters once it looked like the Lakers were going to take him you couldn't offer up any type of criticism even if you liked his game.

Going to his right, he basically can't shoot off the dribble -

You're supposed to take away middle on the PnR and yet Lillard forces him there instead cause it's his right hand. The disrespect.

How could you be so confident in being wrong?

 

[DonKnock]

@CHICAGO ain't them Draymond numbers from last year?

So Lonzo is Draymond without the defense?

this kid Kuzma tho!


yo the fukk these idiots on Inside the NBA the other night talkin bout Ball aint got no one to pass to.


be lettin these muthafukkas drink before gettin on tv and shyt.

 

[Paradise50]

Ball gotta work on his shot. His shyt too slow....Kevin Martin could get shyt off better than him

 

[CHERUB]

This thread gonna come back and bite OP in the ass once Lonzo makes some adjustments. When he Jumps to 17 9 and 9 next yearthat still ain’t gonna be enough y’all find reasons to hate on the kid just because of his Pops that’s lame bytch made fakkit shyt. Straight like that.

 

[Pitfalls0117]

There was absolutely no reason for Lavar to gas him up to the extent he did..all this attention is terrible for his development. And he would've been a high draft pick regardless

 

[DonRe]

Maybe a great passer but I've always said this guy shot is abysmal. Like terrible and too fukkin skinny without the speed.

Let's hope he fixes it but I don't his specialness.

 

[Jesus H. Christ]

Being compared to Jason kidd? MCW? Rondo?

He's been trash so let's see the how his rookie year goes

If he jumps to 17-9 next year whoever is on the coaching staff is a warlock

His entire mechanics are so fukked up that any changes would only make it worse.

Reggie Miller had a fukk up shot but it was effective. Ball's entire movements need to be changed, and I don't know if its even possible. Not to mention he's been told since he was a baby (according to his dad) that he's the best thing since the Steve Jobs came back to apple.

He basically plays like a supped up rec league player. He plays like he's just happy he made it to the NBA.

 

[Ethnic Vagina Finder]

His priorities are all fukked up right now

 

[Bilz]

He has to change his shot going to the right or bigs are going to come out to swat his shot consistently.

Both his borthers have good strokes () I don't know why Lavar let him keep shooting that way.


Anyway, the Lakers are playing better without him because everyone else for the most part are nba ready in terms of their body and game. Ball isn't.

He can't have 0 points a game if he is going to be a starter as a guard.

Lavar isn't a basketball expert, every time they talk to him about basketball it's just . He probably never even thought the shot looked weird because Lonzo was always bigger and better than his competition and it never got exposed. All he knows about basketball is "get my sons the ball and let them do work". I'm sure the only reason he was the coach of their youth league teams is because he wanted to do it and he didn't have a job.
