Lakers' Jordan Hill forgot how to dribble over the offseason

Los Angeles Lakers power forward Jordan Hill made it all the way to the NBA so he he must have known how to dribble a basketball at some point, but the skill eluded him at an inopportune time on Thursday night.

Los Angeles Lakers power forward Jordan Hill made it all the way to the NBA, so he he must have known how to dribble a basketball at some point, but the skill eluded him at an inopportune time on Thursday night.

The fifth-year player was attempting to take the ball up the court in the Lakers game against the Utah Jazz when he just sort of stops dribbling, which is not good.

Byron Scott was not impressed.

Hill should not feel too bad, as the whole purpose of the preseason is to work off the rust, and relearn the most basic fundamentals of the game.
