I have never heard anyone say anything personally negative about Lonzo Ball. His teammates loved him, his coaches rave about him and by all accounts he was extremely well liked on the UCLA campus.
The issue becomes people want him to fail because of the strong feelings they have about his father LaVar Ball.
His teammate Bryce Alford (son of a famous dad) came to Lonzo’s defense at the Lakers draft workout day.

Now remember LaVar Ball specifically called out Lonzo’s white teammates for being too slow to compete for a championship, so this shows you the respect Alford has for Lonzo to try to make his comment in a way as to not bury LaVar.
Also, what does it say about the Big Baller Brand that Alford is getting questions about The Balls on his workout day?
