Still can't believe that Magic thought "let's surround LeBron with horrible shooters who would rather pass anyway" was a winning strategy.

There are a lot of guys in the league who can't shoot.


When was the last NBA Finals winner with a starting PG who shot under 50 percent on free throws? I'll wait.


So, you're not a decent player if you aren't a starter on an NBA Finals winner?


Name me a playoff starter at PG who is a comparable shooter to Lonzo.

Rob sounded more credible than Magic today with his response. He's a former agent so he is slime for sure, but he's not dumb as a box of rocks like Magic is. You can't just smile and charm your way to success in today's NBA as an executive. This guy couldn't even keep himself from getting HIV, did anyone really expect him to assemble an efficient NBA roster?

True, but that is just one area of shooting.

So, you're just going to ignore that Ball has a (marginally) better FG% and 3PT% this season?

You asked to name a comparable shooter. I did. Now you're pivoting to crunch time situations.

I didn't have a heart attack you dolt. Are you really comparing cardiovascular events with getting a sexually transmitted disease though? Im sure as a Lakers fan you've fallen for his act you're entire life though so I forgive you.
