Salute Trae for keeping his people close and having his boy rocking the pod with him. I hope his co-host continues to grow his question game.
He did well in my book. He got a smooth lane in this pod
COhost is a W i like how he adds detail before asking the question
the fact that it is being spoken about speaks volumes on its own.@@Flameville
He honestly better at this than trae.
Cohost is dreadful
As a bulls fan, mayne, we hope you come back soon. Lonzo is such an amazing pg. Defense, heart, hustle, stretches the floor and can facilitate. Hes exactly what the bulls need. Praying he comes back soon.
Trae cam with a heater Lonzo def a HS legend
Legendary wimp that is ..... he goin down in history as a BUST
Seeing you type mayne is disgusting
Couldn’t agree with this more!
y’all were contending when he was healthy too, he’s a key piece for y’all. hope he get well soon man
Zo keeping his head up💯. Luv to see it🔥
Right 💯 Zo gonna be back like he never left!!

Damn....😂😂😂 some niccgas in 2023 be more groupie than these women 😂😂. Gotdxmn
man, love Lonzo. I wish the best for him and his health and hope to see him and the Bulls back at it sooner than later.
He is done…
He’ll come back
Man Zo is such a likable dude bruh, you can TELL he’s a real one. Who was raised with faith and morals. Hoping for the blessed for him.
You can tell Lonzo is still one of the nicest most genuine dudes in the league. Rooting for Zo since his ball is life mixtapes haha shame what’s happened with injuries he was killing with the bulls
Glad to see Zo is in a good space, growing up in Cali been a fan of Zo for a minute. Love his game and his selfless mentality. Can't wait to see him back on the court.
As a Laker fan who appreciated all the little things Zo did, it was great to finally see him come into his own on the Bulls. Hoping he makes an epic comeback.
There ain’t many of us but I’m a Laker fan as well that loved and still loves Zo. Everytime he plays in town I’m at the games. Miss watching my guy.
Been routing for him to shine since high school was sad to see how the lakers treated him hope to see him comeback and kill it
From another laker fan, facts!!!
My favorite PG 💪🏾 I hope he can bounce back from his injury, also wish this interview was longer mannn
love everything about Zo. just wanna see bro back on the court
The way Trae reacted to Lonzo saying he has never really worked on his passing was funny af. Get well soon Lonzo we're rooting for you
Lonzo and melo changed my love for basketball at a young age man. Hope to see him back and shining soon.💪🏼
Bro seem so humble, shout to Lonzo Ball
I wish these episodes were longer 😞😞
Love all these NBA players sharing more behind the scenes of their lives - this is elevating the game around the world 🌎
It’s refreshing and so eye opening that this man still talks and give his dad so much respect.. Laval did an amazing job to get 2/3 kids in the NBA and doing what they love!!
Amazes me how his Dad literally spoke his son’s future until it came to pass. What we say and believe is powerful
This shit breaks my heart I've grown up watching them chino hills boys imagine a playoffs matchup between the two brothers
S/o Winston for smoothly carrying the interview! This was great! Huge fan of Trae and Lonzo. Much love and a speedy recovery!
Hope to have you back Zo healthy, soon as possible. Supporting you whatever happens. Glad I got to him in 2021 first home game with the Bulls.
Love you Trae! You already an NBA great to me. I hope you have a long and very successful run in Atlanta. The city needs you 💯. I always knew you were special and I know you know it too! Go Dawgs!!! And Hawks
Shout out to Trae for putting his homie on, but dude is really the glue. He is a great interviewer.
Definitely miss seeing Lonzo play he’s just fascinating to watch very unpredictable player very crafty always fun to watch man
Round of applause to the hosts and guest star on the show! 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿. I really enjoyed this, and felt like they asked all the right questions.. Zo is so genuine when answering questions. He’ll be back, better than ever.
Trae add some charisma to theses interviews. I don’t think it was one joke this whole time
Nigga let him do his podcast how the way he wants to do it… it’s new for trae. He will improve over time… calm down
@@KvngBeefy I am clam. YOU calm down
Not everything’s gotta be a comedy podcast. I think they’re doing a solid job
cool @@Romanus-
WE NEED THIS MAN BACK IN THE LEAGUE
Did not expect to see something like this, Great job Trae, fantastic interview. Some of my favorite players. Subbing to see more. Have a great season!
Love you Zo cant wait to see you back on the court!!!
BBB 4L!!! We love Lonzo!

@@jedsanchez6599biggest busts in nba history? Not even close. Morrison, Oden, Bennett. Hell if you just want to talk recently look at Bagley getting picked before Luka, Trae, Bam, etc. Wiseman has been a massive bust. Lonzo isn’t even close to those guys
@@Romanus- where's lonzo now? bagley still playing boy
Great podcast, Trae. Love the backdrop and the camera quality-it’s insane.
Love hearing from Zo and can't wait to see him back on the court. Doing a good job with the podcast, great episode Trae!
Mannnn LA babys rock wit ZO! Straight killer ! Sending good vibes and wish a speedy recovery champ!!! Hopefully one day u could come back home 1day !!
I am glad to see these nba players doing their own podcast. Now the media can't lie and start rumors like they usually do.👏🏿👍🏿
Yep love how they’re just cutting the main stream media out. The media is absolute trash these days. Most of the shows don’t even analyze the game, it’s all about narratives/storylines and covering the same couple teams/players every single day. Tons of great stuff happening in the nba but every day it’s another topic about the lakers or Lebron. It’s so corny and dumb idk why people watch it anymore
@@Romanus- Facts 💯👍🏿
Good production value on the podcast, didn't even know Trae had one. Thank you for this episode~!
Badass seeing ZO man. NBA 💯 I misses him. Can’t wait till he’s back. It’s good hearing from him.
Smh i wish I grew up like they did.. They are blessed in life😢
Lonzo 🐐
I can’t wait til Zo returns.
I remember watching Lonzo, Melo and Gelo when I was in HS (class of 2017). I’m from a city called Montebello. It’s right outside of East LA. My cousin went to chino hills high school at the same time these brothers blew up on the scene and even had a class with Melo. He wasn’t into basketball so he didn’t understand all the noise around these guys but damn that was a time to be alive. I remember waiting for ball is life to put the high lights of their games up and being proud as fuck to be a Laker fan when they drafted Lonzo. Memories bro I appreciate these dudes and all they’ve done for the basketball community.
That game against mater dei was the greatest high school game I've seen. Ball brothers out of nowhere pummels a powerhouse
This felt more of an formal interview than a conversation. Ehhh. Hopefully reps will get yall better. Rootin for yall 💪💪💪
Facts
I like it
Yeh who wants good questions and real info. They should just smoke weed and laugh right? Damn sone of ya’ll are lost
I wish they had asked him more questions about his injury - what’s going on, what’s the recovery been like, what are the doctors saying. But guessing the questions for this interview were screened by him and his management beforehand
The doctors don’t even know what’s going on. His knee is an unprecedented case
wouldn’t expect for them to get that deep anyway on a topic like that cmon now
Its taboo talk u must be crazy
BEEN A ZO FAN SINCE DAY ONE NO LIE ..BEEN ROCKING WITH THE WHOLE BALL FAMILY KEEP PRAYING 🙏 THE GRIND DONT STOP
He’ll be Back in the League mark my words
As an Oklahoman love to see people from here do big things like this 🙏
Love Lonzo. Most down to earth chill dude in the NBA. He's facing the toughest battle of his basketball career at this moment. Wish him the best and look forward to seeing him back on the court.
The co host is really good with his questions and flowing the pod.
That was awesome. Solid work all 3 of you🔥
Two of my favorite players in the league!!! Love to see it fr 💯
I love it trae! Didn’t even know you had a podcast . But I’m glad to hear you talk more , venture out and explore things outside of basketball
Lonzo and the ball family deserves all the credit in the world!!! 💪💪💪 keep doing ya thing Zo!!!
As a Zo fan I'm glad he's in good spirits hopefully his personal life goes well.
Great episode glad to see zo doin good
I love the thoughtful questions and how you let the guest complete an answer. Subscribed!
Chicago in the house! Much respect to Zo I pray he will be able to comeback and play at a high level.
Damn this was a fun pod! No extra BS. Co host is nice!
Best wishes for Zo man.
The 6’6 point guard is insane
Man I love lonzo ball interviews he’s so chill and down to earth seems like a good dude wish he did more interviews lol
Word he’s my guy. One of the guys I’d like to meet
PRAYERFULLY he MAKES a FULL recovery!!!
Happy Zo is in a good state of mind but the injuries is just sad to see
I became a ZO fan during his time on the Pels. Love his game, seems like a good dude too. Hope he shakes back
Zo one of my favorite PGs, plays the game the right way. Hope he gets healthy and back on the court soon.
I'ma be excited to see you back no matter what I'll always be a fan zo you inspired me since then and it aint never gon change
Great POD Ice. 🥶 Shouts to Zo. Pray he comes back stronger.
now we gotta wait for a whole year for him mannnnnn, i hope he recovers well and i wish Zo a successful surgery on his knee and WE MOVE 💯🔴
Poor Lonzo he coulda been so good. Been hurt so much ever since he came to league. He will never be the same.
Best EPISODE so far 🔥 , come back stronger Zo #BBB
HS Stanley Johnson was goated 😂 Super happy to see Zo in good spirits and I hope we all get to see him back on the court! One of the last TRUE PGs
Zo a real nigga. Humble dude, hope he bounces back
He wasn't humble about that Nas disrespect 😏😏😏😏his knees ain't been right since. But hope the brother keep his head up tho
man i still have i high hopes for you zo i know you will come back and be even better than before
dont give up.
Loved the podcast, trae putting out some good content 💯🔥
the background wall is 🔥🔥🔥
Man zo I can't wait to see you back for real bro ..... always a pleasure hearing you speak man
man i LOVE watching Zo play... just plays the right way. saucy passes, selfless, can be clutch... shooting hella improved.. he deserves to be back on the court man!!!
My two favorite high school players of all time on a podcast together is crazy, in 2015 I never would’ve even thought of this being a thing lol
Hope Lonzo can come back and stays healthy. His game is really fun to watch.
Mad respect to both of them for their contributions to the league, these two are modern day trailblazers for sure 🤙🏼
Never knew Trae had a podcast until now. I'm all about it! Shoe out Trae and Lonzo man
Hope to see both brother on the same team. Even better if all three can play together.
Gelo averaged 2 points a game in the G league and isn’t even on a roster now. It’d be cool but that’s just not happening. Gelo needs to go overseas if he wants to pay pro ball
Man Zo is a legend regardless if he ever plays again
😂😂😂😂😂
Def a high school legend
@@joestuehmer7967 def a stupid Lavar legend
Damn what a really great podcast! And shout out to Winston for being a great co-host, super well spoken and asks some really great questions to keep the conversation moving! Glad I chanced it and gave this a try, liked and subscribed!!
Such a great story man, and its even cooler we get to hear the big brother pov to their families rise.
Ice Tray and Zo No Cap. Welcome to Atlanta Baby!
Man I remember watching Lonzo every game this man played in fr my favorite player in the league. It’s not a joke when he says the game misses him. One of the best passers this league has had in recent years. I would legit be in stunned with the way he moved the ball. fell in love with a player like him and I just pray he gets to step foot on the floor again to show everyone who he truly is.
i can say i started to be more of fan of zo when he was with the bulls and pelicans , this guy did approve his game since then. truly miss seeing him hooping on the floor for sure, hopefully lonzo comes back from his recovery n better than ever
Automatically my favorite interview podcast of all time. ZO MY FKN GUY MAN💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Great video. When Zo comeback. My team will be back at the top.
Love to see how much the bulls fans love zo. We all miss zo. As a mavs fan I love lonzo
Genuinely a high quality podcast, keep it up lads
I love this for trae 🥶
As a bulls fan, we miss Zo! 😢
Pod needs more vulnerability, personality, and humor. Need way less “cool” nba guy attitude. Big fan though!
Totally disagree. It’s minus all the annoying immature antics and it’s to the point so it makes it authentic and like you’re actually around them. It’s a great relaxed vibe and conversation. All that extra stuff influences people to be super weird and society already is completely off when it comes to their social interactions. The cool NBA guy attitude/vibe is mandatory right now. People are not chill and they need to chill tf out these days.
And to add to my previous comment, they are that cool way because that’s the vibe that attracts THE WOMEN.
@@cambridgejoe669facts
I don't see anything Wrong with it
Hell yeah hope Trae keeps this channel up this is awesome
Love the way Zo talks
So much maturity and humility
Would of loved to know more about his life/career outside of basketball, his goals/business aspirations. Or about being a father at a young age/the recovery of his mother seeing that the two are a close pair. Otherwise, always a good poddy 🔥
Trae, please do short form content for CZcams, Instagram, and Tiktok. Your podcast deserves more engagements
Amazing interview. Amazing players. Can’t wait to see everyone back on the court. See RED
Lonzos media skills are so polished.
Great podcast! You should get LiAngelo Ball on here as well. would love to hear his perspective. it's still BBB all the way!
