Since coming back from injury, Los Angeles Lakers rookie Lonzo Ball has actually been shooting pretty well. He's 6-of-9 from three-point range in those two games, both wins.
This doesn't take away from the fact that Ball has been absolutely brutal from a shooting standpoint as a rookie, hitting on just 36 percent of his shots from the field.
It also doesn't help that Ball has one of the ugliest shots that we've come across. Just ask Joel Embiid. He knows this. And he's let Ball know it.
The narrative that Ball can't shoot isn't going to be helped by the fact that he just lost a shooting competition to hip-hop artist Bow Wow. This isn't a drill. It really happened. And it's all sorts of glorious.

Whew. Look at Bow Wow's reaction. Dude couldn't be more excited.
Meanwhile, we're just hanging back on Instagram to see if Mr. Embiid or any other NBA players have something to say about this.
Despite his on-court struggles and injuries, Ball comes in No. 8 overall on the SNIPdaily NBA Top 100 for the year and is third in the SNIPdaily California Top 100 during that same span.
Though, as with father, LaVar, this popularity has not always been for the best of reasons.
Ball is primed to learn that first-hand after this video continues its viral trend.
