I actually feel bad for Lonzo, I imagine it has to be hard to focus when your dad is that incredibly dumb.

That's called being a bad teammate. Now they know when things get rough Lonzo doesn't have their backs. I hope he gets called out in the locker room for that. That's not what you do on a team. It just shows he's only in it for himself.


Walking away not even looking is worse than the time when Kendall Marshall just stood at the 3 point line watching everybody else.



Makes sense... Lonzo Ball is basically the same player as Kendall Marshall.



Haha cold blooded...

And there’s people saying it’s smart what the tell you talking about nobody will ever fight. It’s about going there and acting like you’d do anything but breaking everything up. Dude didn’t even pivot that way closest guy to the action too

lonzo gonna be tagged a p***y now, probably by his own teammates. you play like s*** and be a detriment on the court for the past 10 games, the least you can do is back up your own teammates when a scuffle breaks out. lonzo looks so done :lol:

When you jump into a "fight" in basketball, it's always just to break it up & show your teammate you got his back. It's rare that the outside guy coming into the scuffle actually throws punches.

Ball just showed he gave 0 **** lol

I think people are making too big of a deal out of the Lonzo thing. That's just his personality. Also, dude's struggling hard right now he's gotta figure his own stuff out first before he starts getting entangled in pointless shoving matches.

Guys in the “fight” don’t even throw punches it’s 2 pushes each and let’s go our separate ways

Maybe I'm just not as macho as all you dudes, but I really couldn't care less that Lonzo didn't want to get in some fake NBA scuffle.

If walking off on your teammates during a fight is just "his personality", then that's one really vacant, selfish and distant trait to have.

I once threw a chair at an opposition player that tackled a mate to the ground, cause the assistant coach was holding me back from entering the court. Obviously not the same thing, but the instinct to back up your teammate SHOULD be there as a team orientated athlete that you spend day in and day out pouring your heart and soul out for to win together.

Even the scrubbiest of scrubs would be ready to go into battle for their teammates. Lonzo's dad seems to have taught him plenty of things about how to make it to a high level, but backing up your teammates aint one of them.

Except the "fights" in basketball 99% of the time have no punches thrown.

Coward is the wrong word to use for Lonzo for that situation. There's nothing cowardly about avoiding a pointless confrontation like that. Sure, you generally want your guys to come in and at least show that they have a teammates back, but if you're not that type of person there's nothing wrong with that

Damn bro why you so obsessed with Lonzo?Can't tell if you're a laker hater or Lonzo hater lol. Probably both because your last 500 posts, half of them are about the Lakers and ball.

I mean, it is just odd. No one is saying he should jump in there and throw hands, but instinct should kick in at some point. At the very least he could've went in and tried to hold KCP back for his and the team's benefit. Instead, he just looks at the scuffle and walks away like nothing is happening. Just weird.

Look at the difference of how Ingram reacts vs Ball:

Glad to see someone else not putting a ton of stock into this whole thing.
