@@BB-cn6mk he wasnt trash on the Lakers he was solid he jus had too many expectations to be an all star. Plus he was injured all the time. Now he finally has figured out his role which is a Draymond Green type pg with a jump shot.
I don't call Zo an assist point guard but a ball mover. Zo has a 17% usage rate compared to guys who dribble the air out the ball to get their 10 assist. Zo keeps it moving and that's why Magic called Zo the highest IQ player in the league. When Magic said this, many called him crazy but if you watch him play, you will understand where Magic is coming from.
That makes sense. Just in this highlight video I can see his court awareness and IQ. Magic knows what he's talking about, being the greatest PG of all time (and that's saying a lot, I know) so I would listen to Magic's analysis.
Zo is just so well rounded. He can do it all but the way he passes the ball is next level. No thinking, no hesitation he knows where the ball needs to go and gets it there. If I could play like anybody It would definitely be Zo. Hes the dude everyone wants on they team
Ofc he’s no where close to the level of lebron as Ik but his iq is very similar to lebrons he runs the break he makes those plays he’s always ready for it
Straight up, Lonzo had every quality the Bulls missed the 2nd half: perimeter defense, ball handling, passing, 3 point shooting. Hope this new season is different.
The possession at 6:05 is nuts. The way he can direct the team in transition without even having the ball, and see all the steps of a possession all while being aware of everyone else’s location all at full speed is like literal magic.
What’s crazy is that I didn’t even have to skip to 6:05 to be able to know exactly what possession you’re referring to. Goes to show that Lonzo’s ability passes the eye test, you can tell he’s special just by watching him
@@Image00o a side effect of when he used to shoot badly. As he plays more and sinks more threes I’m sure he’ll become more confident with taking the open look every time
Lonzo and Lamelo are some of my favorite players in the league becuase they play the game not only to have fun but make sure their teammates are having fun too
@@seanaes The only thing wrong with the Ball family is Lavar. Dude's a nut. But it was necessary so he could get his boys the attention he knew they deserved so I can respect that part of it.
This is the most important season in Lonzo’s career, he can really shift a lot of narratives if he can show why Chicago really needed him. Avg around 15 6 6.5 with All-Defensive Team defense and Chicago finish Top 6 in this stacked East. Put the bust allegations away🔥
He’s so in sink with his guys , this is a thing of beauty to watch , like this is beautiful, hea really one of the greats at passing and will go down as one of the best , and he’s great at scoring he can body a few ppl and drive right in and shot honestly he’s the whole package , lavar isn’t wrong , this is the guy I would want starting my franchise with. All these other “stars” r great but u notice it’s just about them , lonzo makes it about everyone , u hear everyone taking about who’s on the team and they know quite a few of the players even if not a fan, where such as mavs u only know luka and his team witch would possibly lose to bulls in a 7 game series just because the chemistry and them making it about one another , it’s awesome
As a die hard laker fan, it's great to see him mature into such an outstanding basketball player! He plays the game like it's 1985 and just shows up with his lunch pail.. He doesn't talk much or make a big deal out of anything… He is a true point guard!
I'm a lifelong Laker and I don't care what anybody says: I'd rather have kept Lonzo, Ingram and those boys than get a Bubblechip with AD. I really dug that young core except for Kuzma. Lonzo made him look way better than he was.
This dude Is litterally the guy.. doesnt look down on people , doesnt hate, height, strength, abillity,speed and More i would of loved to see him and Durant on the same team 🔥🔥👀
I really like this Bulls team, sucks that their roster was torn up by injuries at the end of the season. Hopefully they all come back and stay healthy next year
Always rooted for the guy because of his humbleness. Never showboats, just plays smart. He had a target his first year but has improved with each season.
Lonzo has improved his game every season, excited to see what he adds next next. Hopefully its better touch in the mid range, it'll open up his elite passing even more
Bro this dude Lonzo came into the league with a broken shot that semi worked and put that work in and changed his shot. that's incredible in itself, but then you add he shot 37% the first year after?! Amazing
Wait! Go watch that play @6:06 Ball directed and orchestrated that whole fast break, even though he didn't have the ball😯😯 His court vision is just next level🔥🔥
Lonzo's value he does a lot that does not show in his numbers. The Bulls were not the same team offensively or defensively once he got hurt. They went from a offense that was clicking to a team where Zack Lavine and Demar DeRozan just took turns shooting.
Magic would not think it was disrespectful. It said "Transition" not player. Magic has stated Lonzo has the highest IQ of any player in the league. He said that last year.
Did anybody notice there was no derozan in these highlights. With Zo the ball was being spread around. When he went down it was the half court mid range game derozan show. No fast breaks or easy points.
Been a fan of Zo since Chino Hills, I think Zo is special and gifted. The way he keeps the ball moving and pacing on offense, absolutely elite point guard and is here to stay in the league for a long time.
We love strong dunks, 3pt buckets or fade aways BUT somehow i started to like beautiful passing above all of these. Seeing lonzo or lamelo or others with beautiful passes is so satisfying can't get enough of these passes
@@csmith3x16 fastbreak positioning really needs to be drilled and practiced. Casual hoopers who don't know any better, will never know this unless taught. Figure 8s all day 🤣🤣
@@johnpaulgonzalez9016 What I often see if someone blow past another player (a crowd of players though?), move toward the basket...then throw it out to the 3 point line. It's jarring and disappointing every time I see it.
That’s crazy how the ball family’s skills go. Lonzo got the Playmaking and Defensive ability. Liangelo got the Shooting/scoring(given the opportunity) ability. And Lamelos got the best of both brothers. The height Playmaking Shooting and scoring a bit of defense basically the perfect package.
For about a 5 week stretch in last years season, the Bulls looked loke the best team in the league. Lonzo got Covid then hurt, they were never the same. Hope he can stay healthy and this Bulls team can make waves
Lonzo & Caruso are 2 of probably the top 10 players with the highest basketball IQs today. Chicago made great but underrated moves in the free agency last summer.

Yes sir bro zo is a beast
lmao "the world". Lonzo could stop existing right now and nothing would change in the world.
@@Silligk son it’s hyperbole relax
This is a pretty weird comment
We really need a full season Zo. I honestly believe the season would have turned out very differently had Zo played in the playoffs
heck yeah it wouldve..
Zo the heart of the bulls
i guess they get a better seed and go to csemis and lose but that s it for this season, next one will be better i think.
yeah bucks in 6 instead of bucks in 5 maybe you coulda been a higher seed and played a a beatable team like brooklyn or the raptors
@@ry_an. exactly
This team is built perfectly for a point guard like Lonzo

I bet his teammates love playing with him. He is extremely unselfish with the ball. Always looking for the open teammate
He passed to much if you watch there games, he’ll pass open looks, looking for the pass
A detriment to his own shot at times but his mind is always on winning with his team.

Lonzo Ball and Alex Caruso are two of the best team and defensive players in the league.
Adding Dalen Terry who is a free safety with long arms other teams are going to have a problem.
They're literally the Bulls defense hence when they got injured their defense went with those 2 in the sidelines

Its because youre like 15 and fell for his hype his dad put out lol
Hopefully Zo can finally have a full injury free season and if he does he will earn MIP and Allstar, it’s time.
Lonzo court vision and spatial awareness is just unreal. That's why I love watching him and Rondo play.
You’re definitely not a casual fan if you Enjoy rondo and ball. They definitely have elite IQ
Zo’s only played 35 games as a bull and there’s already ten minutes of him getting crazy transition assists? Love this guy
I love Zo's passes just so fun to watch. You don't see many PG like that these days
We need this man back so desperately
This is the most important season in Lonzo’s career, he can really shift a lot of narratives if he can show why Chicago really needed him. Avg around 15 6 6.5 with All-Defensive Team defense and Chicago finish Top 6 in this stacked East. Put the bust allegations away🔥
Even if he doesn’t do that he’s nowhere near a bust. He’s been a solid NBA player for the last 3 seasons.

Now y’all see why Kuz was nice when playing with Zo
That push and go and hitting that player in the right stride means a lot
Very Jason Kiddish

Nola won the trade
I agree. LeBron and Magic were way too impatient. Now they got a nursing home squad with no energy.
I remember the frenzy for that trade. Such mayhem.
100% agreed

I think he’d make a great coach
this guy is special
This just makes me smile, I really wanna see how far we go with a healthy zo, lavine, and demar
i love zo man. he’s so under appreciated. he’s a really gifted true pg. Not an assist guard but a true floor general.
2:20 man took a journey
Lonzo is underrated now
Since I first heard of Lonzo back in the Chino Hills days he's been my favorite player to watch, so entertaining and his court vision is insane.
I honestly believe he’s the best transition playmaker in basketball
Lonzo's value he does a lot that does not show in his numbers. The Bulls were not the same team offensively or defensively once he got hurt.
They went from a offense that was clicking to a team where Zack Lavine and Demar DeRozan just took turns shooting.
Wow. Zo is high IQ, fast, great passer and pushes hard with crazy control. Dangerous
Don't ever disrespect Magic Johnson like this again

yo that caruso steal, lonzo touchdown pass to lavine 360 dunk is one of my favorite plays ever
The amount of joy this video brings me

@@csmith3x16 fastbreak positioning really needs to be drilled and practiced. Casual hoopers who don't know any better, will never know this unless taught. Figure 8s all day 🤣🤣
Give him the ability to blow past anyone anytime he likes and he's the best pure pg in the league.
I would love to see him drive through traffic to the bucket with fancy layups like Magic did.

wish the instant replays were left in these edits because some of these plays are inconceivable
You right L.Ball pushing and passing that rocc like Showtime Magic in transition on the move
Cant wait for this season!
Love the way lonzo plays
Him and Lamelo full court passing is just as accurate as a pass from any Hof QB
Love the way London plays
Love Zo and his style of playing
Lonzo is by far the most improved player i’ve ever seen in a few years
One of the if not the purest PG in the league, every other PG is a actually a damn SG
Nice to have DeRozan, Lavine, and DJJ running in transition with you.. Perfect compliment to his game
Dudes vision is insane!! 💯
He's a quick decision maker and his choices are almost always true. Fun to watch. Fun to play with I'm sure.

Lonzo and Caruso defending on the perimeter were the best thing to watch in the NBA last season, too bad they got hurt basically simultaneously
Agree
Been saying for the past 2 years he’s like a new and improved rondo
I pray he’s healthy to start the season. He’s our most important piece and it’s obvious.
dayum lonzo, i didnt know you had that in u
He’s a difference maker. When he isn’t injured
Bulls were a Much different team when they had zo , hope he comes back 100%
Lonzo is easily one of the top PGs in the league now. Can't wait to see him back in action.
Even tho zo can't finish a season to save his life ,you can see still how great he became
Him and lonzo are some of the smoothest basketball players ever
