Lonzo Ball Is Life: UCLA's Superstar Freshman Is Ready to Win It All

(B/R Mag)

Lonzo Ball's jump shot is wrong. There is no other way to put it. He doesn't keep the upper part of his right arm perpendicular to the court. His right forearm is cocked sideways across his face. And worst of all, he brings the ball up on the left side of his head.

He knows. His former coach at Chino Hills High School, Steve Baik, would put the ball in Ball's right shooting hand and make sure he remained efficient, releasing his shot quickly and with no wasted motion despite his unorthodox delivery.
