As a bulls fan, mayne, we hope you come back soon. Lonzo is such an amazing pg. Defense, heart, hustle, stretches the floor and can facilitate. Hes exactly what the bulls need. Praying he comes back soon.
Trae cam with a heater Lonzo def a HS legend
Legendary wimp that is ..... he goin down in history as a BUST
Seeing you type mayne is disgusting
Couldn’t agree with this more!
y’all were contending when he was healthy too, he’s a key piece for y’all. hope he get well soon man
Salute Trae for keeping his people close and having his boy rocking the pod with him. I hope his co-host continues to grow his question game.
He did well in my book. He got a smooth lane in this pod
COhost is a W i like how he adds detail before asking the question
the fact that it is being spoken about speaks volumes on its own.@@Flameville
He honestly better at this than trae.
Cohost is dreadful
Zo keeping his head up💯. Luv to see it🔥
Right 💯 Zo gonna be back like he never left!!

man, love Lonzo. I wish the best for him and his health and hope to see him and the Bulls back at it sooner than later.
He is done…
He’ll come back
Man Zo is such a likable dude bruh, you can TELL he’s a real one. Who was raised with faith and morals. Hoping for the blessed for him.
Glad to see Zo is in a good space, growing up in Cali been a fan of Zo for a minute. Love his game and his selfless mentality. Can't wait to see him back on the court.
As a Laker fan who appreciated all the little things Zo did, it was great to finally see him come into his own on the Bulls. Hoping he makes an epic comeback.
There ain’t many of us but I’m a Laker fan as well that loved and still loves Zo. Everytime he plays in town I’m at the games. Miss watching my guy.
Been routing for him to shine since high school was sad to see how the lakers treated him hope to see him comeback and kill it
From another laker fan, facts!!!
I wish these episodes were longer 😞😞
My favorite PG 💪🏾 I hope he can bounce back from his injury, also wish this interview was longer mannn
Bro seem so humble, shout to Lonzo Ball
You can tell Lonzo is still one of the nicest most genuine dudes in the league. Rooting for Zo since his ball is life mixtapes haha shame what’s happened with injuries he was killing with the bulls
Lonzo and melo changed my love for basketball at a young age man. Hope to see him back and shining soon.💪🏼
love everything about Zo. just wanna see bro back on the court
Amazes me how his Dad literally spoke his son’s future until it came to pass. What we say and believe is powerful
The way Trae reacted to Lonzo saying he has never really worked on his passing was funny af. Get well soon Lonzo we're rooting for you
Love all these NBA players sharing more behind the scenes of their lives - this is elevating the game around the world 🌎
It’s refreshing and so eye opening that this man still talks and give his dad so much respect.. Laval did an amazing job to get 2/3 kids in the NBA and doing what they love!!
Shout out to Trae for putting his homie on, but dude is really the glue. He is a great interviewer.
This shit breaks my heart I've grown up watching them chino hills boys imagine a playoffs matchup between the two brothers
Did not expect to see something like this, Great job Trae, fantastic interview. Some of my favorite players. Subbing to see more. Have a great season!
Love you Trae! You already an NBA great to me. I hope you have a long and very successful run in Atlanta. The city needs you 💯. I always knew you were special and I know you know it too! Go Dawgs!!! And Hawks
Love hearing from Zo and can't wait to see him back on the court. Doing a good job with the podcast, great episode Trae!
Round of applause to the hosts and guest star on the show! 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿. I really enjoyed this, and felt like they asked all the right questions.. Zo is so genuine when answering questions. He’ll be back, better than ever.
Great podcast, Trae. Love the backdrop and the camera quality-it’s insane.
Good production value on the podcast, didn't even know Trae had one. Thank you for this episode~!
Poor Lonzo he coulda been so good. Been hurt so much ever since he came to league. He will never be the same.
Badass seeing ZO man. NBA 💯 I misses him. Can’t wait till he’s back. It’s good hearing from him.
He’ll be Back in the League mark my words
That was awesome. Solid work all 3 of you🔥
That game against mater dei was the greatest high school game I've seen. Ball brothers out of nowhere pummels a powerhouse
The co host is really good with his questions and flowing the pod.
Definitely miss seeing Lonzo play he’s just fascinating to watch very unpredictable player very crafty always fun to watch man
Mannnn LA babys rock wit ZO! Straight killer ! Sending good vibes and wish a speedy recovery champ!!! Hopefully one day u could come back home 1day !!
I remember watching Lonzo, Melo and Gelo when I was in HS (class of 2017). I’m from a city called Montebello. It’s right outside of East LA. My cousin went to chino hills high school at the same time these brothers blew up on the scene and even had a class with Melo. He wasn’t into basketball so he didn’t understand all the noise around these guys but damn that was a time to be alive. I remember waiting for ball is life to put the high lights of their games up and being proud as fuck to be a Laker fan when they drafted Lonzo. Memories bro I appreciate these dudes and all they’ve done for the basketball community.
Love Lonzo. Most down to earth chill dude in the NBA. He's facing the toughest battle of his basketball career at this moment. Wish him the best and look forward to seeing him back on the court.
Two of my favorite players in the league!!! Love to see it fr 💯
Great episode glad to see zo doin good
Smh i wish I grew up like they did.. They are blessed in life😢
I love the thoughtful questions and how you let the guest complete an answer. Subscribed!
I can’t wait til Zo returns.
Love you Zo cant wait to see you back on the court!!!
BBB 4L!!! We love Lonzo!

@@jedsanchez6599biggest busts in nba history? Not even close. Morrison, Oden, Bennett. Hell if you just want to talk recently look at Bagley getting picked before Luka, Trae, Bam, etc. Wiseman has been a massive bust. Lonzo isn’t even close to those guys
@@Romanus- where's lonzo now? bagley still playing boy
Lonzo and the ball family deserves all the credit in the world!!! 💪💪💪 keep doing ya thing Zo!!!
I love it trae! Didn’t even know you had a podcast . But I’m glad to hear you talk more , venture out and explore things outside of basketball
I am glad to see these nba players doing their own podcast. Now the media can't lie and start rumors like they usually do.👏🏿👍🏿
Yep love how they’re just cutting the main stream media out. The media is absolute trash these days. Most of the shows don’t even analyze the game, it’s all about narratives/storylines and covering the same couple teams/players every single day. Tons of great stuff happening in the nba but every day it’s another topic about the lakers or Lebron. It’s so corny and dumb idk why people watch it anymore
@@Romanus- Facts 💯👍🏿
S/o Winston for smoothly carrying the interview! This was great! Huge fan of Trae and Lonzo. Much love and a speedy recovery!
I'ma be excited to see you back no matter what I'll always be a fan zo you inspired me since then and it aint never gon change
BEEN A ZO FAN SINCE DAY ONE NO LIE ..BEEN ROCKING WITH THE WHOLE BALL FAMILY KEEP PRAYING 🙏 THE GRIND DONT STOP
As an Oklahoman love to see people from here do big things like this 🙏
Hope to have you back Zo healthy, soon as possible. Supporting you whatever happens. Glad I got to him in 2021 first home game with the Bulls.
Zo one of my favorite PGs, plays the game the right way. Hope he gets healthy and back on the court soon.
Mad respect to both of them for their contributions to the league, these two are modern day trailblazers for sure 🤙🏼
I became a ZO fan during his time on the Pels. Love his game, seems like a good dude too. Hope he shakes back
Best EPISODE so far 🔥 , come back stronger Zo #BBB
Chicago in the house! Much respect to Zo I pray he will be able to comeback and play at a high level.
man i still have i high hopes for you zo i know you will come back and be even better than before
dont give up.
Damn this was a fun pod! No extra BS. Co host is nice!
Best wishes for Zo man.
Great POD Ice. 🥶 Shouts to Zo. Pray he comes back stronger.
Hell yeah hope Trae keeps this channel up this is awesome
Man zo I can't wait to see you back for real bro ..... always a pleasure hearing you speak man
WE NEED THIS MAN BACK IN THE LEAGUE
Amazing interview. Amazing players. Can’t wait to see everyone back on the court. See RED
As a Zo fan I'm glad he's in good spirits hopefully his personal life goes well.
now we gotta wait for a whole year for him mannnnnn, i hope he recovers well and i wish Zo a successful surgery on his knee and WE MOVE 💯🔴
Just found your channel - Excellent Podcast. Another sub for you sir!
Damn what a really great podcast! And shout out to Winston for being a great co-host, super well spoken and asks some really great questions to keep the conversation moving! Glad I chanced it and gave this a try, liked and subscribed!!
I wish they had asked him more questions about his injury - what’s going on, what’s the recovery been like, what are the doctors saying. But guessing the questions for this interview were screened by him and his management beforehand
The doctors don’t even know what’s going on. His knee is an unprecedented case
wouldn’t expect for them to get that deep anyway on a topic like that cmon now
Its taboo talk u must be crazy
This felt more of an formal interview than a conversation. Ehhh. Hopefully reps will get yall better. Rootin for yall 💪💪💪
Facts
I like it
Yeh who wants good questions and real info. They should just smoke weed and laugh right? Damn sone of ya’ll are lost
Great episode 🔥🔥
man i LOVE watching Zo play... just plays the right way. saucy passes, selfless, can be clutch... shooting hella improved.. he deserves to be back on the court man!!!
Hope Lonzo can come back and stays healthy. His game is really fun to watch.
The 6’6 point guard is insane
Never knew Trae had a podcast until now. I'm all about it! Shoe out Trae and Lonzo man
Zo a real nigga. Humble dude, hope he bounces back
He wasn't humble about that Nas disrespect 😏😏😏😏his knees ain't been right since. But hope the brother keep his head up tho
Trae add some charisma to theses interviews. I don’t think it was one joke this whole time
Nigga let him do his podcast how the way he wants to do it… it’s new for trae. He will improve over time… calm down
@@KvngBeefy I am clam. YOU calm down
Not everything’s gotta be a comedy podcast. I think they’re doing a solid job
cool @@Romanus-
Loved the podcast, trae putting out some good content 💯🔥
LETS GOOOOOOOI ANOTHER AMAZING VIDEO bro y’all need to get the claw on here bro
One of my favourite players ❤❤ just an amazing point guard … selfless and plays with heart
Lonzo 🐐
the background wall is 🔥🔥🔥
Great interview. We are rooting for you ZO2.
Zo love to see you back on the hardwood boss so I can see you workin your magic....time will hopefully be on your side and have you come back..sucks we won't be having you next season....DOPE pod though Trae, keep it comin let us have Dejounte next!!
🥶🏀
Man Zo is a legend regardless if he ever plays again
😂😂😂😂😂
Def a high school legend
@@joestuehmer7967 def a stupid Lavar legend
HS Stanley Johnson was goated 😂 Super happy to see Zo in good spirits and I hope we all get to see him back on the court! One of the last TRUE PGs
This pod seems super dope, W guest too... Great stuff Trae!
Genuinely a high quality podcast, keep it up lads
Happy Zo is in a good state of mind but the injuries is just sad to see
Great video. When Zo comeback. My team will be back at the top.
Honestly, Trae might have on of my favorite Athlete Podcast. His Co-Host being his homeboy is awesome, and he has amazing potential!
I love seeing this new wave of celebrities starting podcast that actually mean something💯
Man I remember watching Lonzo every game this man played in fr my favorite player in the league. It’s not a joke when he says the game misses him. One of the best passers this league has had in recent years. I would legit be in stunned with the way he moved the ball. fell in love with a player like him and I just pray he gets to step foot on the floor again to show everyone who he truly is.
Hope to see both brother on the same team. Even better if all three can play together.
Gelo averaged 2 points a game in the G league and isn’t even on a roster now. It’d be cool but that’s just not happening. Gelo needs to go overseas if he wants to pay pro ball
PRAYERFULLY he MAKES a FULL recovery!!!
Automatically my favorite interview podcast of all time. ZO MY FKN GUY MAN💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
My two favorite high school players of all time on a podcast together is crazy, in 2015 I never would’ve even thought of this being a thing lol
Love to see how much the bulls fans love zo. We all miss zo. As a mavs fan I love lonzo
Love the way Zo talks
So much maturity and humility
i can say i started to be more of fan of zo when he was with the bulls and pelicans , this guy did approve his game since then. truly miss seeing him hooping on the floor for sure, hopefully lonzo comes back from his recovery n better than ever
Ice Tray and Zo No Cap. Welcome to Atlanta Baby!
