Like, I used to carry a blanket everywhere I went.” Sadel Curry-Lee: “Bless your heart.” Lonzo Ball: “Like, I couldn’t sleep without it.” Cam Brink: “That’s the sweetest thing.” Lonzo Ball: “That would be my confession.” Cam Brink: “Huh? You don’t have it anymore?” Lonzo Ball: “No, no. When I got drafted, I had to get over it. But at UCLA, I was taking that every time we played somewhere.”

More on this storyline

Lonzo Ball: “It’s not really pressure, because what are you really doing as a kid? I was just hooping and going to school. And we were in Chino—ain’t really sh*t to do out there. It’s just land. Sadel Curry-Lee: “I don’t even know where that is.” Lonzo Ball: “Cows and just hills and… It’s a farm.” -via YouTube / May 20, 2025

Lonzo Ball: “Yeah… man, honestly, when I was in LA, I wasn’t really doing much. When I was on the road, my vets basically told me I had to stay in the room.” Cam Brink: “Really?” Lonzo Ball: “Yeah. So I wasn’t doing much. That’s why I’m in the room now. It was just some vet stuff. They’d say, ‘You can’t come out tonight,’ and I’d be like, ‘Alright, I didn’t want to go with y’all anyway.’” -via YouTube / May 20, 2025

Lonzo Ball: “I’m not going to lie—I don’t leave the crib. So I DoorDash everything. Groceries, everything I need. If I have to shower and need soap—I’ll DoorDash that. Dog supplies too.” Sadel Curry-Lee: “Is that because you’re a homebody? Or because people recognize you—you can’t just go to the store?” Lonzo Ball: “More so the convenience. I just like staying home. Honestly, if I’m going to leave, I want to go to dinner. I’ll go to dinner. Other than that, or if I’m coming on this show—it’s cool to come here. But yeah, other than that, I’m pretty much at the house.” -via YouTube / May 20, 2025
