Lonzo Ball

In the world of the NBA, where ego often eclipses self-awareness, Lonzo Ball breaks the mold with a refreshing blend of humility and fierce determination. Unlike some of his peers, Lonzo doesn’t chase after unrealistic dreams. He’s well aware of his strengths and weaknesses, and so channels his energy into overcoming his limitations.

The turning point came in 2017 when he embraced weight training, realizing physical strength was his Achilles’ heel. By 2020, he was a changed man, having bulked up with an extra 15 to 20 pounds of muscle. Lonzo’s beefed-up physique meant he could now bulldoze his way to the basket and stand tall against the league’s titans.
