[Gottlieb] The Chicago Bulls “privately” believe Lonzo Ball won’t ever play again due to injury. The Los Angeles Lakers believe his initial injury was caused by his shoes from Big Baller Brand.
Lakers believe his initial injury, was caused by his shoes. BBB were complete trash, no R&D like Nikes, just thrown together. Sad, because Zo can really play https://t.co/CxFHyKdx2Q

Shoes didn’t cause his injuries Lol
Actually it was from a knee injury he had prior to getting in the nba
That was always ridiculous. These dudes used to play ball in converses lmfao
Common lakers medical staff L
he seemed like a good kid when he was on the lakers so that’s shitty to hear. wish him the best.
They said it was because of improper training cause by his Father from early age
Though, I’m not completely blaming the shoes, BBB were constructed by Brand Black and those basketball shoes are god awful. They are heavy and your feet slip in the shoe. Traction is terrible and you can rip right outta the shoe pretty easy.
It’s because LaVar Ball trained his sons straight out the womb
#BBB PLUS NON STOP AAU MEANS NO KNEES PLEASE…
Lakers cashed in at the right time. Now the Pelicans have Ingram and bleh draft picks.
Terrible news. Loved watching Lonzo play, especially on that Bulls team. He was a perfect fit there.
That’s unfortunate. On the plus side for him he made a massive amount of money, but it’s still got to suck to go out so soon.
If this was the case then technically no one should be wearing Kobe lows
I don’t believe this to be THE reason but there is merit to it. Our feet are our only contact to the ground.
“They used to play in Chuck Taylors” yes, a very minimally cushioned shoe. The BBBs were not—plus they were improperly made for athletic performance. Improper cushioning can lead to instability. Instability in the lower extremities can cause problems that travel upward of the legs. If not addressed, the hips become an issue and so on.
This is what makes Joel Embiid’s rise remarkable, his feet were a constant issue. I thought his career was going to be mediocre after a series of lower extremity injuries.
TLDR: there may be some merit to this opinion. Our feet are our landing gear. Having improper equipment can lead to significant injuries cause by imbalance and instability.
If only we had gone a different route that year….
Finessed bron knew his knee was fucked and said ship him fo AD
Are his knees worse than Kawhi’s?
Should have drafted Jokic instead.
Who is this guy?
There was actually a great technical breakdown on how he changed his training regiment in the NBA by using his friends as off season trainers or something of that sort. They began training him to utilize different movements in his cuts and jumps which lead to the breakdown of his knee. It’s actually a very interesting video with actual clips on how lonzo changed his movement mechanics.
I watched a documentary on his high school days. The ball kids played every single second of every single game for 4 years straight in high school and wore those cheap shoes. They literally never got subbed out of games. Add this with non stop AAU and lavars intense training the kids probably already have major mileage on their bodies. Melo even suffered a non contact injury so it’s all sad to see.
Maybe people can stop pretending Lavar is a good dad now? Lol
Neva lost
Oh the irony.
U ever see that video of him working out during lockdown? I knew his body wouldn’t last the instant I watched that video. Some of the worst form I’ve ever seen. I’m willing to bet Melo won’t last either.
It’s gotta be the shoes!
Doug Gottlieb is a racist POS I shocked he has not gotten a job at Fox News yet.
LonzoBBBall user in shambles.
Bull shit. Who is “Lakers”? Some random employee probably made an off handed comment blaming the shoes I doubt it was meant as a medical diagnosis.
What kind of injury does Lonzo have right now?
This is a campaign to slander Lavar Ball.
Privately
The entire family has been so blatantly and unapologetically stupid the entire time they’ve been around that watching the inevitable of them getting screwed over by their own stupidity is hilarious.
Really makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside.
Take with a grain of salt, but I saw a video online of a guy who trains athletes on movement.
He claims Lonzos injuries are from how his leg positioning while running has changed from college to his time with the Bulls, likely caused from poor form when doing explosive training exercises. No one corrects him because he doesn’t use professional trainers.
If Livingston can come back from his horrific injury, so can Lonzo!
There was a yt video by one of those doctors that went in depth about his injury and he brought up some really good points. He basically said he changed his style or that he did something to compensate and over time it put stress on his knee because he was no longer in balance. I think I remember him putting the blame on how he was being trained and how he put on too much muscle. It just all added to the injury
One release rap album, the other work out with Kobe over the summer.
And we drafted the rapper.
