Report: LaVar Ball and family to star in Facebook documentary series

I saw that on Friday....

I feel bad for Lonzo because the hype surrounding him has been brought on by others.

This guy is not a franchise saver.

But, he is a very important piece.

He will be a high assist, game manager.

Gasol is the star of the show in Memphis. But, Conley is the engine that gets the car rolling.

That's Lonzo.

Ingram will be the star that makes guys want to play buddy ball along with the draw of playing in LA.

You think other players haven't noticed the fucking Circus atmosphere in Vegas because of the Lakers?

Agreed on all that. With Ingram, I think he'll make progress this year but don't think he'll truly emerge until the 2018-2019 season. Not sure he's going to be a star but I like what I see from him. With Ball, I still don't know how good/bad he'll end up being.

This. I think Mecca, LAD, and Mick are 3 people online that could say just about anything and I wouldn't take it personally.....

 

[Black Adam]

Getting Carroll eliminates the Nets from the KCP sweepstakes...

#nextstopLakers?

 

[knowyourenemy]

You've got to wonder if the Warriors are afraid of the 76ers.

First, Durant comes out and disses the 76ers having a nickname when they've got like 100 combined games between their 4 top prospects. This guy just won Finals MVP and he's talking about the 76ers.

Then, the first chance the Warriors have to face off against the 76ers, they try to take out two of their promising young players on the same play.

Afraid?

See? Contrary to popular belief, 76ers fans and Lakers fans can share a laugh together.

Ex-Cavs GM David Griffin has pulled his name out of the Knicks' GM and president search after he couldn't come... http://www.espn.com/espn/now?nowId=21-0675792051240966921-4 …


Another strikeout for the Knicks this summer....

#nextstopLakers?

I hope so.....he'd be a huge upgrade to our defense....

 

[Wamu]

Why does Lavar keep opening his big mouth?

LaVar Ball says Lonzo will 'step over' Magic to be best guard ever...


Of all the stupid shit he's said so far this might be the dumbest.

Yeah, I can already see stud written all over Ingram.

I know you don't like this....

But, Ball will end up being in the mold of Kidd, I honestly believe that.

Hear me out....

They both have size, Lonzo is actually bigger and elite court vision, passing skills.

That size will make Ball a good rebounder at the of position, just like Jason.

Lonzo is not going to score a ton of points, that's not his game.

Kidd had a career scoring average of 12.6 ppg.

What Lonzo doesn't have is Kidd's defensive ability.

That's where they differ.

Jason made a all defensive Team 9 times, 4 of them 1st Team.

Lonzo is not the fastest fella and had problems keeping a journeyman like Marshall in front of him.

So, he is gonna have problems with the Westbrook's, Kyrie's Cp3's and Curry's.

But, guess what?

So does everyone else.
