with the basketball Universe now seems to revolve around these three brothers Let it Fly Lonzo first there's Lonzo the oldest and freshman Maestro of the UCLA Bruins long long three it's good den liangelo the big man Chino Hill Senior and lamelo the sophomore Prodigy who recently made national Headlines by dropping 92 points yeah Meo you all are competitive with each other but does it matter

best he going to say it but it's not the truth but he's going to say let say better this his pride this his pride kicking him just going to talk going talk Lonzo ball Mr 7 years old get some hype oh reverse I had a little plastic hoop teaching Lonzo how to shoot on top of his head he's a straightaway shot from the side he's my first son so I spent a lot of time with him and then once you make the first one good the other ones just follow two hand behind the head this yes hard there you go let me see some handling man their father Lavar he had a plane get it he can't throw it up in his face now Melo what you got dunks he would use basketball to strategically plot a course toward Fame and stardom for his sons good shot zo when we met he told me that we were going to get married and have boys cuz he only makes boys of course everything is a plan for me picking my woman Tina's athletic woman I'm an athletic man it's all lined up our last name is ball holl at man I said once I have my boys I'm have them close together we only need three one on each lane and one down the middle ah what up boys every day after practice the fellas come home to their head trainer their father I got a nice little system here as soon as the boys come home from school and practice we make about 200 shots on the shooting machines my boys make this like it's nothing shoot them with your left see that they not ready for that the next thing I do is I make them lift weights Monday Wednesdays and Fridays on Tuesdays and Thursdays we doing pull-ups too good we just started having fun you know we didn't want to go outside do homework we want to stay outside and keep shooting a lot of people be like oh you push them to the Limit no I guide them to the Limit I tell them what to do and get it done but if I got to push you this ain't for you but there's a final line between exploitation and empowerment day I'm going to tell you right now before you see it UCLA going to win the NCAA Championship and you think I'm playing should be number one cuz he's the only player in the draft that can make everybody else around him better he better than Steph Curry to me do you feel that with some of the comments you have made do you think that the competition is going to get stiffer for your kids because like oh your daddy said you better than me everybody talk him about oh he going to have an ex on his back and they going to come harder how you think he going to get better if they don't come harder I want you mad as hell at my son when you see him you like I'm a tear his ass up cuz you know what he thinking this what I'm here for you're not going to give me nothing but I'm going to make you a Believer and you wonder if the plan is working all steps back long three of course well zo always predicted to be one of the top players in this year's NBA draft and with Jello and melow already committing to UCLA it returns Westwood back to the center of the college basketball conversation and
