Los Angeles Lakers point guard Lonzo Ball managed to barely cling to the very bottom of Sports Illustrated’s annual Top 100 NBA players, coming in at No. 100.

With the addition of LeBron James and Rajon Rondo to the Los Angeles Lakers, fans can expect the purple and gold to be a well-oiled passing machine, especially with Lonzo Ball already entering his sophomore season.

Los Angeles Lakers point guard Lonzo Ball wasn’t worried about the trade rumors swarming his name as soon as LeBron James committed to a four-year, $154 million deal with the purple and gold.

One of the most debated topics among Laker fans is guard Lonzo Ball’s whacky looking jump shot.

Others claim that […]

Lonzo Ball has been rather mum since sustaining a knee injury and undergoing surgery during this offseason, but even the setback won’t keep him from the hype this new season will bring to La La Land.

Chuck Schilken of the […]

LaVar Ball hopes all three of his sons will be playing in the NBA one day. Lonzo Ball already made it and is a budding star for the Los Angeles Lakers.

LaVar Ball once said that he will beat Michael Jordan one-on-one. But maybe he has to fine-tune his lay-up skills first? Ball went up against a guy to showcase his basketball skills.

In 2016, former Los Angeles Lakers player Luke Walton returned to the Lakeshow as their new head coach.

LiAngelo Ball and LaMelo Ball brought the city of Los Angeles a basketball title before their big brother, Lakers guard Lonzo Ball, even does.

Lonzo Ball and Rajon Rondo […]

There were mixed reactions among Lakers fans when the team signed former NBA Finals rival Rajon Rondo to a 1-year contract this offseason.

The youngest Ball brother has grown up in the limelight due to Lonzo and LaVar Ball. LaMelo Ball has NBA aspirations despite the fact that he’s only 17 years old, and sometimes he shows that he’s still just a kid. The Ball family purchased two golf carts for their estate so Tina Ball could get around […]

Isaiah Thomas’ time with the Los Angeles Lakers was a brief one. In the near future, most people would have forgotten that Thomas had actually donned the Purple and Gold uniform.
