Lonzo Ball denies losing shootout to Bow Wow

Lonzo Ball

Lonzo Ball refuses to admit that Bow Wow is a bigger baller than he is.

In a video that circulated Tuesday on social media, the Los Angeles Lakers rookie appeared to lose a friendly shooting competition to the rapper-actor. Here is the clip (but be beware that there is some foul language in it):

Instead of accepting his L though, Ball took to Twitter in an attempt to set the record straight (and spun it into a plug for Big Baller Brand in the process).

False advertisement… Getcha facts straight then #geturmerch https://t.co/n6ryRiLhAs

The No. 2 overall pick was actually telling the truth too, as Bow Wow himself said afterwards that the contest was actually a best-of-three that Ball won.

Shout out @ZO2_ the homie got me 2-1 he won the series. Want my REMATCH! Pleasure to have him and the sqaud at the compound. Best of luck bros! Stay healthy #BBB #YEAAHH pic.twitter.com/Bq2x01RZYX

As such, apologies are in order to everybody who was just here for the sheer hilarity of the Lakers’ prized rookie losing a literal basketball competition to the dude who played Calvin Cambridge in “Like Mike.” Maybe Bow Wow can settle the score in another shared realm of theirs though.
