I swear ESPN and Lavar are business partners
😂 I forgot lavar said that crap. We tied with golden State right now haha... Man this dude is golden.
lol ikr
who cares about soccer
yea cuz im american im sleep im from libya
Alex Weiskopf soccer is boring period... football and basketball are the most entertaining sports that God ever created
Alex Weiskopf world cup isn't popular in the US. Sure it's the number 1 sport globally but over here it's not even top 3 I wouldn't say it's top 5 I would put hockey and golf over it.
Skip: But Shannon, that 12 game stretch when Lonzo shot lights out.
Shannon: Come on Skiup. What about the other 70 games Skiupppp?
Skiuppp
A Real Good Guy
Right, like Rookies dont get better
This kid had a cosch who's learnig (26 out of 82 and 35 out of 82 games), a coach who held him back unlike Tatums, Smith Jr, and Mitchell's coach and Lonzo still was close to a triple double as a Rookie. Lonzo is already Box Office and a Star because he's been in the media since he was in High School and has lived up to the hype.
Some have their best season as rookies: Channing Frye, Tyreke Evans
Rashard Stallworth Lowkey. If Lonzo was under Brad or Quin then he would’ve developed faster. Luke is a good coach and will improve as time goes on.
You can’t hate lavar he’s hilarious 😂😂
BIG BALLER BRAND UP 12% TODAY!
I love when Stephen A and Lavar argue haha its so funny and i dont know why
Lavar been speaking facts though ... "Lonzo will be a Laker, Lonzo is a playmaker not a scorer, Lebron will come to LA. BBB still winning even if the Lakers losing"
LaVar is a genius. He predicted LeBron joining the Lakers a while ago.
ShowTime oh yeah? Did his son get drafted? Did lonzo lead the lakers to the playoffs?
6 reasons why Lebron will NEVER get another RING 1. Durant 2. Curry 3. Klay 4. Draymond 5. JR SMITH 6. LAVAR BALL #dropsmic #getwoke
Genius 😂😂
Tony Lugo That Lakers team would have made the playoffs if it wasn’t for injuries.. you think lebron went there for literally no reason ? He knows these kids are on to something.
He also said UCLA was going to win the NCAA championship and Lonzo would be rookie of the year
Lavar isn’t as bad as people say
You're right. He's worse.
Boi
Never personally met him. I wouldn't know.
The only thing I don’t like that he did was tell kids there not big ballers if they can’t afford his shoes. That wasn’t cool
Son Goku yeah that was dumb
20 minutes of lonzo hate wow espn just wow!
MrGenexxx they roast his whole family it’s bad
they won't the attention. slow news weak
They have to cover BBB and Lonzo even though he didn’t have a good season, sounds like some fanboys to me.
Ghost Boy he had a alright season
MrGenexxx. It's because of his dad son. The hype comes with coverage so I don't see it as hate.
ESPN wont cover the JBA league or anything positive LaVar or the Ball family does -- it's been a smear campaign ever since he bodied Steven A Smith on First Take... Lonzo is special, this season will be great. I'm not a Ball Family superfan, just love to see a family with real talent working together. LaVar has a big personality, but what has done wrong? He just speaks his mind, just like everyone on this network.
Blueprint Style they aren't covering the JBA because the standard is terrible. That's why!
Troy Hough nope that's bullshit it's because of lavar plain and simple
They don't cover the jba cos it is competition vs the ncaa which they cover
So I gues Malik monk had a stupendous year... josh Jackson ?? Smh the standard for him is crazy lol that boy had a great rookie season
Don’t Matter why didn’t u mention Tatum? He was drafted after him, how about Donovan Mitchell don’t say his expectations were to high when people drafted behind him are doing better
Johnny Walker LA because I was talking about rookies who did worse then Lonzo, Tatum and Mitchell were Roy candidates I’m asking why is Malik monk dearron fox and josh Jackson not in espn being called a bust but Lonzo is
Johnny Walker LA and I said the standards not expectations
None of those guys are the #1 guy on the team tho
Pein Lonzo ain’t #1 on the team either he was injured half the time
LAVAR REALLY A MARKETING GENIUS. NOBODY USE WATCH THE SUMMER LEAGUE. LONZO COMES EVERYBODY WATCHES SUMMER LEAGUE NOW.
Too Bad BBB is Bootleg Trash. I love Lavar, but his brand is Trash.
You credit Lavar for marketing the summer league? Please... your example is him marketing the summer league? Bruh you think Lavar gives 2 shits about summer league? He wants people to watch lonzo. Not the summer league. If he's such a great marketer, why is NO ONE going to JBA games
styxstormx man stfu u know damn well u wasn’t watching the summer league until Lavar came out and hyped up Lonzo. Now everybody watches. Lavar the goat you just a hater goodbye
Tired of Fools nah u trash just mad u don’t have a father
De’Aaron Rose I don't hate Lavar ball, I actually admire what he has helped his kids accomplished. And I for one started watching the summer league this year. Not even last year.. I just wanted to point out how wrong your statement is. If you're gonna praise Lavar, at least praise him on accurate shit. If ANYTHING , the media has used the ball family to support the summer league. That would be an even more accurate statement then the one you made.
Lonzo ball does more then shoot
That's right, he makes god awful rap tracks!
Well it damn sure cant get any worse!!
Jhardwork Pays off
What did he do???
Seriously! DAMN
Jhardwork Pays off yea run his 👄
john lennon james He gets triple doubles, he gets multiple steals a night, and he is pretty much runs the tempo when he’s on the court. Not to mention all the hustle plays that he made which aren’t glorified on TV or highlight reels.
Idk why Stephen a thinks Lonzo is gonna be a bust (note I'm not a Lakers fan) Lonzo averaged 11, 7 and 7 as a rookie! Hes already proven to be one of the top floor generals in the league and on top of that he's only 19! He has years to fix his jump shot. Not to mention he's a very underrated defender. People say Simmons is a jumper away from being great but in reality.. lonzo is in the same boat in some sense
Daniel Suchetka Ben Simmons can drive to the basket at will. Can't say the same about lonzo.
Sire Boby Ben scared to shoot lonzo is not(jutst got to practice on accuracy)
deon brinson ben ain't scared to shoot. He was playing to his strength which shows high basketball iq unlike Alonzo who's a terrible shooter but still keeps on jacking up shots.
Daniel Suchetka *20
"One of the top floor generals" , wow, what a exxageration if i ever seen one 😂
Lonzo's 3 point shot will improve in year 2
The Flex Zone it better improve especially if we gonna beat the warriors he can't be shooting bricks
Well no shit, you can only go up from this point...
The Flex Zone He may have it get worse. He won’t be successful with Lebron because he has no off ball game. His confidence might be shook next year.
The Flex Zone he was improving it throughout the year towards the end
It actually improved last year. He shot 40% December to the end of his season.
NOTICE THEY ONLY TALK ABOUT HIS SHOT. HE DOES THAT EVERYTHING ELSE. Good defender. Good rebounder. Great playmaker. His potential is SCARY
De’Aaron Rose Calm down lad💀
thankyou, anyone can play in the half court and pass the ball to players running off screens. I admire that he is unselflish, but honestly his playmaking is overrated. He's good when in the open court, but when in the half court, offensively he's pretty bad. Can't drive past anyone, no mid range, no ability to finish at rim, so just settles for heaving threes. There were hundreds of times where in the half court, he'd just hand the ball to someone else and stand in the corner...
Mico Johnson 26th in the league for defense, 26th. As a rookie. Soon to be the best defensive point guard in the league and easily top 10 offensively within the next 3 years.
u left out out his 50% ft man...
Rondo
lebron, +lavar and stephen A, this season going to be pure gold
305unleashed graphix i didn't even think about that lol. That is gonna be awesome
ESPN thirsty for views
I’m Signing With The Lakers Next Year | LA Nation
Lavar Ball is Stephen A' s dad.
1:43 Classic, Lol. I needed that 😂😂😂
Lavar is the real life spongebob
No one in the family is nearly as bad as people portray. . Lavar has helped about 100s of people visibly through basketball and I can say any of us has helped how many? Like why do we hate? He just wanna see his family succeed
I love this lmao
1:23 Stevan A’s face 😂👌
It was entertaining ....👌
When he took them glasses off i died😂😂
They love each other 💕
Making each other money
i love how neil just stands there and dosent say a word
Lavar created the wiggle fortnite dance at 1:46😂😂
best marketing for BBB .. keep it up ESPN
These the same folks that say they don’t like LaVar lmao yet they got a whole 20 min video smh clowns
I clicked this thinking something new nope. Just ESPN using Lonzo Ball, Lavar Ball & BBB as clickbait. ESPN need to send Lavar a fat check
Lavar ruined Liangelos chances of playing in the NBA so sad
V. P He never had a chance to play NBA.
LaVar really needs his own show like some1 said lol👌🏽😎
Stephen A is hilarious 😂😂😂
no, he really isn't...don't be fooled...its all an act
Lavar Ball and Stephen A together are golden
Lonzo was a great shooter in college. I remember him raining shots from deep in Rupp Arena.
"Oh it's like that, it's like that"?
😂😂😂😂
I like when I can actually agree with Stephen A. Makes it a lot easier to watch/listen to all this 😂
STEPHEN A SMITH WILL EAT THOSE WORDS‼️
Right I’m sick of his hatred towards lonzo
"I'm stating to see BUST!" ....Drop the MIC!
BIG FAXX
Bruh Lavar is pure fucking GOLD 🤣🤣🤣🤣
So ESPN hates Lonzo and the ball family also... typical
I don’t ever remember Lonzo being drafted because of his amazing shot and scoring 😂
This was hilarious
Somebody needs to give the definition of "high basketball iq". Is it a pass first guy, is it a guy who knows when to pass and when to score, a guy that plays great d all the time, a guy that thoroughly understands his team's plays and the other teams plays, or is it all of that. Its is a hollow compliment at this point.
well said Scottie
BEST DAD IN THE WORLD‼️
🅱🅱🅱
AJS,jr AJS,jr someone’s a hater
AJS,jr AJS,jr He is a great dad. He wants the best for his kids and he is always there supporting them. Please gtfoh!
AJS,jr AJS,jr lmfaooo somebody hurt your feelings?? Don’t be mad bitch u don’t have a dad . You’re an embarrassment to your family. Quite sad actually
“Believe in me like lavar ball believes in his sons” -the lord
Are they on vacation? Haven’t been on the show in weeks?
slow news day....... ESPN sad
Bruh this didn't happen all today. This is was a collection of clips from different shows. SMH.
They could of talked about DC United new stadium opener
No Molly Qerim On First Take No Jalen Rose On Get Up 😢😢😢😢😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Tired of Fools I know bruh. I’m saying they had no news today so they do this lame shit
I love his dad....LMAO
Stephen a. lowkey loves Lavar🤣
Imma lakers fan but this shyt funny 😂😂
I love lavar
He's putting up more rebounds than most Centers.
holyshit! espn is talking about something other than lebron? there's probably gonna be a blue moon tonight.
gstacks814 and it still revolves around the Lakers. They make the world go round!
Stringerbellliveson right I was gonna say that and they have a graphic with lebron on it 😂
All facts
The fact that this video is 20 min long speaks for itself...
I want those Zo2's
This is what they do when Stephen A is on vacation? lmao
_LiAngelo just come to Goldenstate_
People always so quick to hop on Lonzo. They don’t even realize Markelle Fultz was the number 1 pick and is now tryna shoot lefty
This story is playing out like Todd Marinovich. From So Cal. Star at USC. Drafted by LA Raiders 1st rd pk.. Expectations hella high. SMDH.
Who else thinks Lavar and SAS need their own show ?
Rip stephen a smith. Miss that dude
Zo had a good rookie year and will only get better... he is not the player Stephen A "wants" him to be but Zo has a Jason Kidd type game.
Gotta love Lavar lol
ESPN still mad about the Jeff Goodman thing 😂😂
Facts
Lmaoooooooo how can you not love lavar
I forgot how salty Stephen A and Molly got when Jalen exposed First Take! 😂😂
Stephen A. looked like he got intoxicated by Lavar's breath
1:17 - Stephen A Smith goes from 0-100 real fast .
Does anyone know why Stephen, Max, and Molly haven't been on the show and if they return when can we expect them to
You see even Lavar is going to court, he will find a way to make good informationa to win the case.
3:48 😂😂😂
Lanzo is a top 10 assist point guard right now
2 yrs later. Story changed, Lonzo had a great time with the 3 nowadays
The Lakers could react, "This is indoor basketball - not a mountain hike."
Y'all think we can make it to the Western Conference Finals?😃
Damn 20 minuets
Second time Steven said it’s up in the air for lonzo
ESPN ain’t got nothing else to talk about! 20 minutes of Lonzo & LaVar hate!
I have faith in the ball family
why yall hate lavar so much, man is entertainment lol
who made this !!!! lol !!
I've remember Lavar said, that Lonzo will take the Lakers to the playoff on Lonzo rookie year.
A point guard had 6 Ast, 5 Reb, and 4 blk. (Didn't shoot well), and Stephen A said he scared he is a bust.
3:50 🤣🤣🤣
Am a clipper fan and am going to say this now lonzo going to shoot better next season he can actually shoot his daddy put to much pressure on him
Thank you Scottie Pippen for telling Steven a big head pushed back hairline Bill Nye the Science Guy looking self something pretty smart
Lol ESPN needs lavar name
1:43 im dead😂💀
This aged well 😂. Stephen A is a clown.
NEVER LOST 😂
Lonzo had the worse shooting percentage because of the additional pressure. The additional pressure pressures him into taking extra shots that he otherwise wouldn’t have.
