Lonzo Ball, as we all know, plays for the Los Angeles Lakers as their starting point guard this rookie season. The second brother, LiAngelo Ball, currently plays for UCLA Bruins and has recently returned from China after the huge shoplifting fiasco. The youngest brother, LaMelo Ball, used to play for Chino Hills High School until his father decided to pull him out and train him personally after controversial tussle with the team. All three Ball brothers are slated to go through the same path of Chino Hills, UCLA and finally Lakers, where their father plans for them to establish their professional career.
Q: Does Lonzo Ball do TV outside of basketball?
A: There is a legitimate reality TV show on Facebook that covers the daily life of Lonzo and his family outside of the NBA scene. Bunim/Murray productions, the production company that brought success to programmes like MTV’s “The Real World” and E!’s “Keeping Up with the Kardashians,” is tasked to shoot and make this 10-episode reality TV series. The viewership is impressive and has brought even more attention to Lonzo by disclosing juicy paparazzi-worthy information about his daily life. Perhaps this is Lavar Ball's plan to serve the media with what he feels can help Lonzo's buzz to another new level.
Q: What does Lavar Ball do for Lonzo Ball?
A: Lavar Ball is the most influential and controversial parent of any NBA player known. What casual NBA fans may not know is that Lavar Ball is also a maverick in terms of marketing and branding. His renegade and no-holds-barred approach to bringing buzz to Lonzo Ball is one of its kind in sports history. It might seem a little over-the-top and at times crazy, but Lavar Ball's antics are not without objective. He basically talked his way into fame and managed to drag all his three sons into NBA limelight way before they were eligible for any draft consideration. Due to his purposeful media attention gained, Lavar Ball was able to leverage on hungry sports talk shows and news industry to propel his sons into NBA stardom, a few years in advance. Take that for an ambitious parent.
Q: Who's Lonzo's mom?
A: Lonzo Ball's mother, Tina, had a stroke during Lonzo's NCAA tournament. Lonzo was able to go through the press conferences without showing much emotions and was able to handle it professionally. Despite his stoic nature, he did later reveal that he was frustrated but could only take it and continue with the matches that followed. Already showing maturity at 19 years old bodes well for the Laker.
Q: Where did Lonzo grow up?
A: Lonzo is an LA native and has been living in LA since young. He recently shared that his family has been living in Chino Hills all the time and had only went away on vacation to Hawaii just before he turned professional in the NBA.
Q: Who is Lonzo's girlfriend?
A: Denise Garcia is Lonzo's girlfriend. Just like Lonzo, Denise is an athlete and she plays the position of midfielder on the UC Riverside soccer team. Denise is studying to be a registered nurse anesthetist and has been a childhood sweetheart to Lonzo since their days in Chino Hills High School.
Q: What is Lonzo's side hustle?
A: It is a known fact that many NBA players have a secret ambition to be a rapper. Lonzo Ball is no exception. The only exception is that this dude has some serious rhymes and have been dropping dope singles ever since he came into the limelight. A possible side career as a musician rapper?
Q: What did Lonzo Ball did coming into the NBA that nobody had ever done?
A: The only rookie to come into the league with his own brand of basketball shoes, Lonzo has made history with his shoes game. Thanks to the business minded father, Lavar Ball, Lonzo was able to bring up a new brand purely based on the hype and accolades that he has generated in his young career. While it waits to be seen whether Big Baller Brand will take off, it is really cool to have something of your own when on the floor.
Q: What is Lonzo's favorite video game?
He is an NBA 2K18 junkie. Bonding time with his brothers over a game of 2K is never dry. Balling on the court, balling on the consoles. It all runs in the family. Another cool thing, you get to see way more trash talking from Lonzo when he plays 2K than when he suits up for the Lakers.
Q: What's the most talked about part of Lonzo's game?
A: Lonzo Ball has an unorthodox shot and it may be a double-edged sword. If you watch any of his past games in Chino Hills or UCLA, you would find that Lonzo Ball has an unusually off-balance shot. The curious thing is, with such a release, he is still able to get a decent shot up during those years. If it starts falling, especially with his superb transition and fast-breaks, all is good. From another standpoint, it can leave him open to steals from defenders. Now in the NBA, we see ups and downs for Lonzo's shooting. When in rhythm, Lonzo kills it from many spots. When in a funk, his unconventional mechanics seemed to bother his shooting percentages a lot. Until he shows more consistency, we never know if coach Luke and his training staff would be ordering for an adjustment in his shot in the near future.
