Josh Hart rarely needs a reason to roast Lonzo Ball and he showed just that on Monday at the New Orleans Pelicans Media Day. After a relatively lengthy press conference which he came across very well-spoken, which isn’t surprising for Laker fans who have followed him prior to this season, one of the final questions Hart was asked led to a friendly jab at Lonzo Ball.
Hart, an Eagle Scout, was asked which teammate he would least like to be stranded with. After getting clarification that they would be stranded in the wilderness, Hart offered no hesitation before throwing Ball under the bus.
“What’s the situation? In the wildnerness? Oh. Probably Zo. Zo probably never been in the wilderness a day in his life. So, I’m saying Zo.”

Considering Ball was born and raised in Chino Hills, played college basketball for a year in Los Angeles before being drafted and playing two years professionally in Los Angeles, it would be safe to say he’s not been in the wilderness. But a reality show with Hart and Ball attempting to survive in the wilderness WOULD be great television.
