There is a lot of hype surrounding Lakers G Lonzo Ball. It seems like Ball was talked about everyday leading up to the 2017 NBA Draft.
Lakers owner Jeanie Buss has not seen this type of hype since Magic Johnson.
“I can’t remember anybody with more hype going into the draft except for Magic Johnson,” Buss said last night at the espnW Women + Sports Summit. “Now we have a kid, born and raised in Los Angeles, and that’s exciting for our fans, and for us, to know that we have someone that really represents the city.It seemed like I was watching a movie. It was really special and a great opportunity for him and us.”
The next question is will Ball live up to the hype? That answer will come in the next few years.
