Shaun Livingston missed years of basketball because of a bad knee but played solid with the Golden State Warriors so anything is possible
Shaun Livingston had a play style that allowed that...mid range, back to the basket...Lonzo, not so much
@@tnastytfv25lonzo has the exact play style to comeback he run the offense and hang out around the 3 point line like J Kidd did at the end of his career
@bdukes8075 the thing is ... he's not JKidd 🤣 - best case scenario though would be just that .
@@tnastytfv25definitely not no Shaun ... he actually adjusted to GS system , anywhere else he would've been out the league long before that.
Facts 💯
Say what you want, Lonzo changed his family for generations. I hope he recovers.
With the help and guidance of lavar
@@anthonyjones5677despite the ‘help and guidance’ of that wonderful human being and father, Lavar lol
Recovers he done playing ball
Change is the most inevitable thing on the planet. If fact he gonna have to deal with a lot of it from now on...
We know. We are talking about his knees and ability to play in the sport he gets paid in.
Once those knees start acting up, it's hard trying to get back where you were, especially in sports
Facts
Where was he🤣
I hate kawhi but he has bad knees and he played every game this year
Reminds me of whn we lost Brandon Roy to injuries☹
@@BigWillieDilliein the nba
Its been 2 years since Lonzo played and he still can't run ? Yeah bro might need hang it up
Something wrong with that dude. Kawhi has had way worse injuries but he’s never missed 2 years
@@baldeagle4710 different doctors
The freaking bbb shoes cuh. Messed him up
I’m not forfeiting millions lmao
Brother can you not read? It said he’s been doing running but no sprints , per his coach ..
A "journalist" doing victory laps about a player's injury is wild
You can't buy class
Lonzo should have kept his mouth shut
This is considered victory laps? Did you honestly watch this video?
Missed the point
@@ChaseNSmoke Yes and Yes.
Instead of saying "I told you so," you can just wish the kid a healthy recovery. Heck, go join him at his pool and talk with him about his recovery. No need to take a victory lap around someone's troubles.
He literally said he wants Lonzo to recover and play.
Its all part of the entertainment
he literally gave him all kinds of well wishes but SAS speaking pure FACTS
He's making a bigger point that you shouldn't question his journalistic credentials, and stop taking stuff personal. He owes Lonzo nothing.
Real talk
This Really sucks about Lonzo.
Before the injury he had the bulls in 1st place at one point in the east during the 2021-22 season for a brief period.
Hoping he gets healthy soon 🤞🏽
Edit - he **helped the bulls get to the best record in the east before his injury** 👍🏽
Not bc of him🤣 they would still suck with him on court.
@@BigWillieDillie It was in big part because of Lonzo. All you need to do is WATCH the games to see why.
@@andysauro1500 💯
He too busy laughing at his own statements on random threads to eatch games. Lonzo had them killing that season @@andysauro1500
He needs to hang it up now, having knee problems!! He hasn't play in like 2 years
Lonzo about to make a Katt Williams type sprinting video
Club shay calling
Lmfao
Lmaooooo
Loololololololol
😂😂😂😂😂
Lonzo said "I'm coming back Man!" like he was trying to convince himself lol
no shit, it’s hard for anybody to stay positive when they’re going thru injuries
I’m a diehard Bulls fans and this signing has been brutal!
He will get that PO for next year. Might not play one minute.
When Lonzo was healthy on the Bulls. Bulls were solid af
@@Dc9127-d9dleading the east for a minute
Yall wasn't winning nothing untill lonzo and them dudes came over tf you just been looking at the same losing yall was doing b4 u got him bulls looks cursed
You need to be a die easy fan my friend
Just by the thumbnail I know this isn’t gonna be good
Not at all he's still trying to justify what he said about him not being about to stand.
@kb4231 not good for Stephen A or not good 4 Lonzo?
Right
@@kb4231 But what he said seems closer to the truth. If Lonzo is not cleared to run after 2 years then maybe it is a bit of a chore for him to stand
You still missed the point entirely. You said he couldn’t get up without trouble. He addressed what you said and then you moved the goalpost! Be for real man. You’re smarter than that.
I don't understand what Stephen A's beef is with Lonzo Ball yellow journalism
He has female tendencies always has to get the last word
He’s a bust
@@SenseTalk1017 He not a Bust injury as slowed him down
@@Lottoboi100 he was supposed to be better than Steph and Fox though. Definitely hasnt lived up to his hype. Bust is maybe a bit strong but it's closer to bust than not
Did you even listen to the video?
Bro he called you out for saying he cant get out of a chair without it hurting. He proved you wrong and you still salty about it damn, grow the hell up.
This the best comment on here! 💯
💯 exactly what I came to comment
He could still have been in pain when he was doing his demonstration
@@slightexag 🤦
Too right!
It's odd that Stephen A has personalized this so much. This shouldn't be a segment to continuously antagonize someone through a tough rehab process. It's unnecessary, and a step closer to being unethical to be honest, given Lonzo's video was an attempt to be positive in his recovery process with nothing malicious to it.
Who knows, a setback may have happened that's completely unrelated to the process you may have heard about beforehand. These things happen.
His pride was hurt in Lonzo questioning his sources.
It makes Stephan A look like a liar
Its not personal he deliberately took a shot at stephen a’s credibility, its literally his job anyone with a brain is saying “i told you so”
@@yule41exactly. They literally said SAS was a liar
Yeah and its not like Lonzo is 34 years old he is 26 give the man a break and let him rehab in peace lmao
@@PokerBits yall are slow, stephen A was doing his job lonzo made it personal
Well look who jus got approved for advance basketball activities 😂😂😂✌🏿
Lonzo gonna try and film himself sprint in response to this and he’s gonna relapse
Lmao
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂
Lmao
based
That fast break offense was tough with Lonzo, DeRozan and LaVine all healthy. I hate being a Bulls fan.
It’s not cause of that it’s cause of the big baller brand shoes
You think it might be the bulls rehab program? Drose now lonzo just a question hella curious
We can't ever have anything nice
You're "hella" goofy.
@@baldeagle4710how did the shoes injure his knees?
You kept your receipt on this one.
Bro leave this man alone… nobody speaking on it but you
Unfortunately nobody is speaking on anything dealing with the bulls. That depresses me since I'm from Chicago😂
You can literally put bets on if and when this man will return. You are a liar 😂
I mean this is his job. He's reporting on when a high profile player will return or if he will ever return
Some people wana know what’s going on with Lonzo, yall find something wrong with everything got damn
facts STEVEN A. is a conniving puppet for the elite and a coward at that always attacking certain players, who need motivation instead of STEVEN A. bringing them down.
The face Stephen A Smith made is “YOU PLAYED YOURSELF.” 🤣🤣
And now hes been cleared for advanced basketball activities as of yesterday 🔥
He's gotta stop YAPPING
Lonzo might as well call it a day.
@@user-se7hf3vm3v he’s back
Good thing he had a proper source this time 😂
Name a time he didn't
@@Ac3Badgerhe got called out for lying on zo last year
@@joedon-hb4nl and he just proved he was right in this video ... I'm saying say a time where he reported something that wasn't true
what are you even saying, he clearly wasn't lying if Zo can't sprint. @@joedon-hb4nl
he said lonzo couldn't sprint now, but last year he said he couldn't stand up out of a chair. he didnt prove that point @@Ac3Badger
It’s those big baller brand shoes. They messed his knees up.
Think so too. His brother is injury prone too.
@@denk664ya just tryna hate on lavar so bad 😂😂
@@joedon-hb4nl nah I like Lavar. Hating on BBB hospital shoes
@@denk664Lamelo is sponsored by Puma
No I think it was more about the training the father did…. Had those kids lifting iron constantly at a young age. Not good for the joints and tendons
I guess Stephen A. being able to say "I Told Y'all So" outweigh any sympathy for the kid I'm still rooting for Lonzo he seem like a good dude‼️
That’s because Stephen A has female tendencies
Exactly!! It’s not him being factually “right” in what he said about Lonzo. It’s are you doing the “right” thing by announcing his career basically being over just to be the first one to do it and to prove you correct in the first place. How about some sympathy for the situation Lonzo and Bulls fans are in? Why are you so happy to be right about this tragic news?? Not cool Stephen A. 😕
@@LiftedMike he has female tendencies he just got to have the last word
@@LiftedMike When a man makes a report about what he is hearing about your injury, and then you make a video trying to discredit that report, and then you still have not come back to play AFTER 9 MONTHS, that is your fault. It's either Stephen A is correct or Lonzo has proven him wrong. His feelings be damned. So far, Stephen A is right and it's good that he made the report so that Bulls fans are not misled about the situation by the team and by Lonzo himself.
@@JoeD-gy7cx He put no pressure on his right foot. The man was still hurt. The report about him picking himself up from the chair is of no consequence anyway because the man has not returned. He's not even close to returning. So ultimately SAS was right. If you ain't close to returning, sit your butt down, rehab, and shut up.
You said lonzo had trouble standing up from a seated position, and he proved you wrong 😂
and Stephen A back track on what he said LOL
The fact that you taking everything so literally shows your intelligence is at its lowest
He said his sources said he has trouble standing … he was right .
I thought Lonzo's video was strange. His right foot never touched the ground. He was clearly favoring it.
@@emmanuelzanders1746nobody told Stephani a myth anything 😂
Give him time. Some sport injuries take 2-3 years to fully heal. Lonzo is still very young and I truly hope he comes back. I like watching his unselfish game and Lavar Ball was right when he said, "Lonzo makes players around him better!" Prayers up for you Brotha. Many of us are still rooting for your recovery.
Fully heal yes, but it’s been 2 years and he can’t do anything but walk.
@@deckardaaron give it year year n half
Time? He’s an injured bust, he will never play another minute
To be clear, nobody who's had the surgery Lonzo did has ever returned to play in the NBA. Not a single person.
It’s a bit wild celebrating a players injury. Come on SAS. Come on brother. Support the young brothers.
I’m confused about the receipt. Stephen A was proven wrong back then. He could in fact stand up. Even better he stood up with only the bad knee multiple times.
And now he’s cleared for full active practices….. cmon bro this didn’t age well lmao
This aged like milk
I dont kick someone when they are down, but when I do.....
I make sure the "I told ya so" will boost my fragile ego.
You can't buy CLASS.
Missed the point
Bro just posted a vid running and dunking
Who are their sources fr? 😂
As a Laker fan I still can't believe we drafted Lonzo instead of Tatum or Fox 😪
As a Sixers fan I can't believe WE didn't pick Fox or Tatum also.😂
Same. Tatum was too good at Duke
@@WhatIsaysGoes tall gay that can dribble, shoot 3s and get to the rim. Like what more can I ask for
@@Kingflowhhe's gay?
I think he meant guy. Today the autocorrect puts gay. Welcome to 2024. 🤦🏽♂️
Despite not being able to play NBA level hoops, he still proved Stephen A wrong. Stephen A said he has trouble from the sitting position and he apparently did not. He may not be sprinting but reportedly he’s jumping and that’s huge!
The good thing is he’s only 26. So he has youth. When Zo was healthy man he was a legit knocked 3pt shooter and an all nba defensive player.
Lmao SAS petty, but I ain’t mad at him 😂😂😂
lonzo got 1 year left in his contract (player option). let him collect his bag, then retire.
The Bulls probably cut him because he hasn't played in 2 years. They are not going to commit that much money to him
@@pinbarbecue1100 they don't have a choice. OP just said he has a player option that would be insane for him not to pick up. They will cut him but his money is still on their books regardless until they ask for exempt from the league
Dancing a jig over someone's injury is pathetic, and shows Jason was right about you.
This guy cant take an 'L' , Lonzo replied cause the source said he had a hard time standing up...that obviously was not the case. Stephen A really got into his feelings about Lonzo's reply smh.
As someone who had to give up basketball because of his knees (albeit at a much lower level) I feel for him. When I see that video, I see more desperation than confidence. Who cares about who was right or wrong. At this point all you can do is hope a player gets better.
😂😂😂 this man be waiting for every players downfall
SAS was voicing his concerns for Lonzo,he didn’t diss him at all,the players these days are just ultra sensitive
Even if you are right that he might not be back. Does not mean that we are celebrating the fact that you are correct Stephen A.
Y’all remember Brandon Roy? He was a baller and probably the 3rd best shooting guard behind Kobe and DWade at the time! But had his career ended early due to bad knees too. Sucks man. Hopefully he can still enjoy his life after basketball and be able to run around with his kids.
Manu Vince AI t Mac 🤨🫵🏿
yeah i believe he literally had no more cartilage left in his knee
This is the kind of ish that makes guys like Screaming A and Skip B despised by most pros and fans. He talking bout “keeping receipts” for predicting a guys career is over. In this day of hottakes on anything and everything to get extra clicks makes me long for the past era when not only the players but the sportscasters also loved the game. This dude acts like he’s the superstar talent when all he does is runs his mouth.
Watch the whole video.. he said nothing bad .. grow up
"I don't know if he's stuck," Donovan said. "He is doing some shooting, some running, some jumping. He hasn't done any sprinting yet, that I know."
Reading is essential
I hope he does get back, it’s crazy because he was just starting to do well. Prayers up for you Zo!!
Attacking someone at their lowest is the lowest thing you could’ve done Stephen A
When ZO comes back keep the same energy
Stephen A u a comedian man! Wit intellect they can't mess witchu my brutha 😂😂😂
Can’t wait to see Lonzo on Shannon’s couch 😂
Lonzo jogging is still faster than everyone
My guy Stephen A reminds me of Randle Weems from Recess. Love your show!
Got the notepad and all 🤣📝.
Got the notepad and all 🤣📝.
Let's pray for Lonzo. He deserves better!
Him getting up from that chair probably set him back 10 months
I love listening to the TRUTH! TY SAS!
Stevie A has been getting trolled a lot but most of his reports are accurate. Him playing in college maybe not but his reports are mainly true. It's his job as well. People stop being butt hurt when he reports things
I rolled my eyes watching the Pelicans get at him on social media. How you got that much smoke for SAS but is afraid to tell Zion to get on a diet.
@@leronmclean9361 exactly. Like man, I'm a Cowboys fan and Stephen A is always trolling them but it's funny. Sum people take things a little too much to heart. Everybody are journalists, authors, and trolls now with social media fingers typing. These guys are pros and also Stevie A has to be able to take the trolling back once he does it. It's a 2 way street but today's society just can't take constructive criticism without coming back being offended. It's sad
I feel like a lot of basketball fans simp hard for Lonzo. I don’t know why. Lonzo is always injured and his career has been a huge disappointment.
@@baldeagle4710Kinda Like DRose As Much As I Hate To Say It . 2nd Favorite Player and The Reason I Started Watching NBA (I’m 23) . But His Career Peaked In Year 3 . However Some People Think He’s Better Than Westbrook or Other Greats . Injuries Derailed His Career
@@leronmclean9361that Pelicans video was hilarious, I don’t care who you are. Lighten up
Imagine its 2080 and you're seeing this video thinking is this how they used to talk back in the 2020s like how we think of how people talk back in the 1940s-60s
I’m not even a bulls fan, but watching Bro play was genuinely exciting
Stephen A still tryna get that exaggeration off. "When iiii said it..." That's not what people were mad at him about. They weren't mad he said Lonzo may never be the same. It was that one specific part 😂
But he’s not the same sooooooooooo…………
Why would they be mad at the truth? O yea i forgot….its the internet 😂😂😂😂😂😅😅😅
@@TherealScoob_ that's not what Lonzo called out. You can be correct in a broader sense, but be called out for inaccuracies in the process. That's the point
Bro getting up using 1 leg is killing me 🤣
I feel for lonzo, I liked him and his family soon as they stepped on the scene. I hope the big brother can recover!
Feel so bad for him man. Prayers for Lonzo
Words of encouragement from one brother to another.💯🏀👌🏾
Stephen A won this one. He was right ✅️
Just leave the man alone, it’s gotta be hard enough on his mental. Come on Stephen A. You beating a dead horse.
I forgot he played for us.
Lmao that lonzo clip
Ja Morant was playing in the league, got in trouble, got kicked out, came back, got hurt, and went back out again before Lonzo was ever close to 100% in the last 12 months. It might really be time for him mang.
They way he 🧈 butter it up at the end. 😂😂😂😂
If he ain’t running by now it may realistically be over. 🙏🏽
Leave Zion alone because he's on track this season and on the court unlike some thought 💯
I deadass forgot he was still playing in the NBA
I truly love how ended this video. I like Stephen A. Again
Yep everybody in the comments didn’t watch the whole video that’s why they talking
Those BBB shoes
Wow 😮
@@mikecowan-tu6uptrue story!
@@sleeks9939 wow they’re no good to play in
This mf is really making an “I told you so” video about a dudes career ending injury
Congratulations Stephen A you guessed something right for once. Here's a cookie for you.
They cleared him lil bruh
😂 folks be so harsh by injuries shit is weird. Send prayers for recovery n keep it moving
Makes me sad. Not only as a Bulls fan but an NBA fan. He worked hard and built his own imagine and persona on the court after his father said wild things. He had the Bulls running on all cylinders when he was playing. Not saying we would have won a chip, but the Bulls looked poised to at least compete
"I told you so”?Wish the kid good health and go about ya business this is getting nasty
Lonzo was hiding that pain getting up from that chair 🪑 in the video 🤣🤣
SAS, can you please take a poll, asking your First Take viewers if we want to see JJ Reddick on the show? Because we don’t.
He has better in game knowledge than Kendrick, Mad Dog, or SAS. Plus he's not afraid to go against the race baiting shit.
Stephen A. Smith is a smart man. He's a real one. Nothing disrespectful in his argument. Just Facts.
People saying the bulls will be better with Lonzo but even if he returns he will never be the same because he’s returning from a 2 year injury
STEVEN A. what’s wrong with you? You’re too disrespectful to some of these players man. Why are you even had to bring that up? How old are you sir? Just wish the man luck and continue on the story about his knee not recovering. Why are you so petty at your age?
Dude is a real sicko its so obvious
Jason Whitlock was right
This didn’t age well FAST‼️1 Week Later… Lonzo Kong sprinting and cutting 🤣 2 L’s from the same source just stop!
This is why Kwame Brown and Zo keep heat’n you. Don’t kick a man while he’s down, G.
Keep receipts? Stephen A was still wrong about Lonzo getting up off the chair; obviously his sources were exaggerating and he took it as fact. So this is just an attempt to pat yourself on the back and say "I'm right".
I like Stephen A. but he's really poking fun at Lonzo for being injured, just because he showed one of his reports to be inaccurate. The statement he made was that Lonzo "Couldn't get up from a sitting position", so Lonzo wanted to prove that he could. If you say something about a player publicly, they should be able to respond publicly.
Lonzo was the best glue guy in the NBA. Stats didn’t scream MVP but the results did! He had the Bulls as a top team in the East and now they’re barely a play in team. Lonzo is and was the true difference maker!
I remember that I thought Lonzo l was was coming back but Stephen a Smith said it how it is u could see lonzo ball struggling to stand up and sit down on that left leg he don't put pressure on it
Prayers 🙏 for that young man get back healthy
Stephen a really been feeling himself the way he be talking 😭
Dam I forgot he was still in the league
Let's be real about the Ball brothers 😂
This sports media is crazy now days. Let The man deal wit his rehab n stop spreading rumors.
