Will Lonzo Ball be better than Magic Johnson? | The Tylt
Lonzo Ball has garnered a lot of hype since being drafted by the Los Angeles Lakers. While head coach Luke Walton said it's "possible" that Lonzo Ball is the next Kobe Bryant, we think a more appropriate comparison would be Magic Johnson. Ball’s court vision, feel for the game and ability to score might put him above Johnson when his career is over. However, Johnson is one of the greatest players of all time, and Ball may fall short of those expectations. What do you think? 🏀

Will Lonzo Ball be better than Magic Johnson?
Lonzo Ball may not be as tall as Magic Johnson, but by the end of Ball's career, he will tower over Johnson. Ball has incredible instincts and can see plays seconds before they actually happen.
Plus, he has one thing Johnson never had—a versatile offensive game. Ball can create his own shot, rise up from three-point range, and play above the rim. Combine that with his passing ability, and Ball will be a better player than Johnson when is all said and done.
Lonzo Ball is going to be the greatest passer of all time. Better than Magic. Better than MJ. Better than Stockton, Bird, Lebron, anyone!

HAHAHA. Is this seriously a conversation? We're talking about perhaps the greatest point guard to ever play the game, and people are saying some skinny kid with a loud mouth dad is going to be better than him? This is the height of stupidity.
Magic Johnson had unmatched court vision and was a dogged competitor on both ends of the floor. Ball may be a better scorer, but he will never come close to having the legendary career Johnson had.
