Lonzo Ball has taken a couple of L's in his young Los Angeles Lakers career and a lot of them have come at the hands of his father, LaVar Ball.
But this time it was all brought on by himself and happened at the hands of Bow Wow.

Bow Wow and Lonzo faced off in a three-point shooting contest, and Bow Wow was able to outlast the Lakers rookie.
Of course, Bow Wow was a basketball star in his younger days. He was the lead character in the movie Like Mike. He was a mediocre basketball player before he found an old pair of sneakers that had MJ's initials on him. That was enough to send him over the edge and become a basketball star.
Now if Bow Wow had those shoes on again when he took on Lonzo, it might make a little sense, but he was just in his socks, so that couldn't have been the case.
There has been a lot of buzz around Lonzo and his shot, and if it needs to be changed. On Monday night, Isaiah Thomas stuck up for his āUgly as hellā shot, but if you lose to Bow Wow, it's clear something needs to be changed.
So far this season, Lonzo has struggled shooting from anywhere on the floor. He is shooting 40 percent from the field, 31 percent from deep, and only 50 percent from the free throw line.
He was a good shooter at UCLA, so who knows if it's just the stress that the NBA puts on a player, or if the uncharacteristic shot is hurting him.
