i never said he was an underdog. in fact, i don't think he's an underdog at all. for all accounts, he grew up in a 2 parent suburban household. Still, that doesn't mean he didn't face challenges. Poverty isn't the only form of adversity.

Lonzo ball has been living with a target on his back since high school. His blowhard of a father made sure that every ounce of pressure you could possibly bestow upon a kid (talented or not) was thrown at him early (and often) and he still managed to exceed and excel at an elite level.

how many children dream of playing in the nba. better yet, how many children claim they'll be starting PG for the Lakers and actually do it?
