I want Lonzo to fail

[jaketwice]

I hate Lavar.

Lonzo should not be punished for his father's problems.

im starting to like lavar. minus a few select comments i think his personality is refreshing for an industry that seeks to pacify and commercialize outspoken unapologetic individuals. If i could afford them, id totally buy his sneakers, he's an entrepreneur trying to make his way the unconventional route. since there's no shoe deal coming from a nike or under armor, then he made his own shoe deal. much respect to that man and his family.

[SHAQATTACK]

i never want to wish something like that on our fellow brothers . 

i wish him the best ......just fall flat against the Celtics on game night

When Lavarr said UCLA lost because of Lonzo's white teammates, Lonzo should have come out and strongly condemned those remarks.

A white person would be labeled a racist in such a situation. Can you imagine?

Either he is spineless or he agrees with his father's ignorant statements.

Either way he is at the very least a horrible teammate.

it's no different than any other designer brand clothing we buy. gotta make a profit somehow. if an item is too cheap nobody would find it worthy enough to buy (i think of shaq's sneakers, and starburys). granted, $500 that's an unfathomly steep price for someone who isn't in the league yet, but still i enjoy seeing this, and would buy it if i was good for it.

Sure, but it's not easy when it's your dad and your still a teenager though.

Lavar Ball is Donald Trump.  Say anything.  The more audacious the better.  Truth doesn't matter.  It is all about the publicity.  It is all about building the brand.  Nothing new or refreshing about either one of them.

I don't know if it's pity or not enough exposure to him or what, but Lonzo actually seems like a decent kid to me, nothing like his dad.

Anyone else get this vibe?

[Ogaju]

no need to wish failure on the kid. Root against him when he plays your team, but to want him to fail because you do not like his dad? That aint cool.

Now regarding Lavar and his shoes? None of those shoes are worth the money they ask for em. So if he gets people to buy his shoes, good for him.

I dont think he is as smart as he thinks he is. He needs to build the brand before he cashes in. Seems like he is tryna cash in before he has a brand. Shrug.

I hope the Lakers take his son.

Yeah I get that feeling too. I could be wrong, I don't know him, but Lonzo doesn't seem like a bad kid.

Josh Jackson on the other hand looks like a guy with some issues. Threatening women with violence and vandalizing cars is serious stuff. 

[ManUp]

Don't be a hater your whole life.

I want them both to succeed.

this. tp

[CelticSooner]

I don't care if he does or not. I think he'll be a good player just not as good as Fultz.
