He’s not funny, not entertaining, and a complete idiot attention whore. He isn’t interesting.... even accidentally.

As soon as I see him I flip the channel to something else for a minute. Why does ESPN give him a platform when there are so many interesting sports highlights they can show instead?.

And ESPN wonders why revenue is dropping...

Yet you made a thread about him. You are the reason he keeps being in the limelight. If people would shut the frick up about him, he goes away.

Valid question. Same was asked about Tebow. My guess is that just like Tebow, idiots want to see him.


Plus 24 hours of sportstalk is a lot to fill. They need topics.

I only see the guy being talked about on Twitter and he sounds like an idiot from his sound bites. I watched the game last night and I thought it was annoying that the camera kept going to him. I didn't have the sound on tho.

That's only part of it. Keeping him happy gives them unlimited access to his son.

This is a situation where it doesn't matter what we want.

I'm so sick of this on all levels.

So that we keep talking about it. He is a joke but everyone eats it up so they will continue to do it.

When he was drafted by the Lakers, the people stopped having a say in this. The media have too much time and resources invested in this guy and the Lakers to just up and quit if there was a backlash. We're screwed. It's gonna be like this for the next 15 years and there's not a goddamn thing we can do about it. The Lakers could finish 15-67 and they're still gonna be on TV 45 times and daddy's gonna keep talking whether a mic is in his face or not.

When's the last time you've seen Lonzo give a TV interview? Nobody wants access to him because he doesn't say anything.
