Lonzo Ball’s NBA career got off to a rough start as he only managed to score three points in his debut against the Los Angeles Clippers, but he’s bounced back nicely by scoring 37 points and adding 22 assists, 19 rebounds and two steals over his next two games.
Despite bouncing back with two good performances, it’s going to take a lot more than that for the 19-year-old to gain some respect around the league due to everything his father has said and continues to say. On Wednesday night, Joel Embiid decided to take some time during the 76ers’ shootaround to mock Lonzo Ball’s unorthodox shooting style.
The best part about this entire thing is the fact that the 76ers aren’t even playing the Los Angeles Lakers tonight, they’re at home against the Houston Rockets.
Embiid isn’t the first NBA player to imitate Ball’s shooting style during a shootaround. LeBron James had some fun with the shot ahead of a game against the Chicago Bulls last season.
Through his first three NBA games, Ball is averaging 13.3 points, 9.3 rebounds, 8.7 assists and one steal per game.
