    LaMelo Ball Kicks? So he's been training with Draymond Green?

    Lonzo made it because of his passing skills and his overall feel for the game. Other than his odd shooting motion he plays the game the right way.

    LaMelo on the other hand is just the opposite from what I can see from his video. I could be wrong but I am not sure any coach really wants to deal with him and his dad. (HS or College) Not sure how he is going to get better being homeschooled.

    Maybe Lamar is trying the "taking his Ball and going home" routine (Pun intended) just to get his way with the HS. Hopefully they do not give in to his demands. Although I do feel bad for LaMello. He is never going to live up to the hype.

    I don't know about that. It's unorthodox, sure, but let's say that Lonzo kicks in a couple of bucks to hire someone like Tim Grover to get this kid to peak basketball shape. And hires a shooting coach. And maybe, I dunno, takes a holiday over to China for a year to sell shoes and

    WTH is he going to get out of playing for a coach he doesn't like? Dominate the Greater San Bernardino County AA school system? He already has his ride to UCLA set up, barring injury.

    I didn't want to start a new sneaker thread, and I didn't want to defile the Dame sneaker thread, so I'll just post these monstrosities here:

    I thought he was like 16, not 81. Those look like the kinds of shoes my grandparents used to wear.

    It's what the Coca-Cola Company would design for their SURGE brand if Coca-Cola started designing shoes.

    I don't understand how that MFer got a "fashion" line. And it's even more perplexing that people not only buy it at retail, but pay aftermarket prices for that bullshit! His shit looks like something a computer engineer with Aspergers would wear while stalking Tiffany Thiessen.
