Nike, Adidas and Under Armor all walked away from him after his dad said they'd only agree to a deal that included licensing of his "Big Baller" brand.

What the fuck is wrong with LaVar Ball. He wants a billion dollar deal for his three sons, two of which aren't even in college yet. His "Big Baller" brand also looks like shit. Pic related is $50.

>Ball would not disclose how big the Big Baller Brand has become -- the company sells hats and T-shirts ranging from $38 to $100 on its website -- but he said current sales numbers shouldn't have been on the mind of the shoe companies.

>"When Facebook bought WhatsApp for $19 billion, those guys weren't profitable," LaVar said.

>Now that the traditional shoe companies are out, Ball said he will reach out to the Chinese brands, which include Peak, Li-Ning and Anta, and he's not counting out taking on an entrepreneurial partner outside the business.

>"That includes Facebook," he said.

>Ball said he did indeed have a prototype for Lonzo's first shoe.

>"We're not going to sign with a company and then wait around for five or six years for a shoe like Paul George had to wait for with Nike," Ball said.

>When asked how long he has been working on the design of Lonzo's shoe, Ball said, "I've been working on that shoe ever since my boys were born."

>>75559648
But how did this guy got so hyped? He os not a freak,he shooting is average with a very weird technique and he is game vision is just good. He didn't went to far in NCAA either

>>75561911
Agreed.

Markelle Fultz is the clear star of this draft.

>>75561947
>le lead your team to a sub .500 record man
this class is shit

>>75562016
The kid averaged 24-6-6 while shooting 42% from 3

This kid is gonna get the shit hazed out of him in the locker room. He's not a physical freak, he's lightskinned and he's not hood. Remember the Anthony Davis hazing video?
Nike's talent chief hates his dad but he'll get a deal with a chinese company. Lots of NBA guys have shoe deals with chinese companies now. BBB will be a thing unless Nike freezes distribution out of spite.

>On August 22, 2016, he was arrested in Irvine, California after being found naked and in possession of drugs in a neighbor's backyard. Authorities say a naked Marinovich tried to open the sliding glass door of an Irvine home. He was cited for trespassing, possession of a controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of marijuana. Later tests concluded the controlled substance to be methamphetamine. He could face up to three years in jail if convicted
wew

>>75561911
He got over hyped because he plays for a staple college basketball program that hasn't really had any success in recent years. Plus his dad says really stupid shit

>>75561907
Where the fuck does his dad get these ideas

>>75562061

Fultz is also a freak athlete. He's considered to be a combo of Kobe and Kyrie offensively

lavar ball is a fucking moron, i hope every single one of his sons gets no where and his shitty company burns to the ground

He's so crazy it's great, Lonzo's either gonna be worth 1.5 billion dollars by age 30 or he's gonna be worth 100 weed plants.

>>75562163
>worth 100 weed plants

Thats still a multi millionaire

>>75562102
>combo of kobe and kyrie offensively

and he won't be nearly as effective offensively as those two

>>75561911
from all accounts, he's a good kid. His teammates say he's quiet and keeps to himself, he's not like his dad. Bryce Alford said he's a real leader, and just brushes his dad's bullshit off to the side and focuses on the game.

Its his dad that is ruining his name, he's jeopardizing his son's future because he cant stop chimping out

shame that he's ruining his sons' lives

he's a fucking piece of shit

>"Just imagine how rich Tiger [Woods], Kobe [Bryant], Serena [Williams], [Michael] Jordan and LeBron [James] would have been if they dared to do their own thing," LaVar said. "No one owned their own brand before they turned pro. We do, and I have three sons, so it's that much more valuable."

A genius!

>not telling your insane dad to just shut the fuck up

Lonzo is a beta male who can't speak up for himself to his own fucking father. He will get destroyed in the NBA.

>>75562192
He is a walking double team.

If a team drafts Ball over him the'td be insane.

You can tell most of you guys are poor wageslaves. There is nothing wrong with what Ball is doing. The only flaw in his plan (could be a crippling flaw) is that his brand hinges on how good his kids are.

>>75561907
This is beyond Don Quixote levels of delusion

>>75562272
The flaw being,,, his kid isn't talented enough to but up with this bullshit.

>>75562197
Him being nice is ok. But I am not really impressed by him from what I have seen. PGs like him are doing pretty bad in the nba right now

>>75562192

Fultz is an objectively better prospect than Irving was which is insane. The guy is an amazing talent

>>75562197
What Lonzo really needs to get big sponsorship money is to develop a marketable personality. That's what he needs to really sell merch. The best way for that to happen is having a big brand like Nike or Adidas develop his image. Unfortunately his dad pisses all of them off.

>>75562272
>making outlandish demands when his son hasn't even played a quarter of NBA basketball

Thats like demanding to be made vice CEO of a major corporation right out of college with no job experience.

>>75562272

>>75562338

The only one who controls whether or not Lonzo is successful is Lonzo. Everything else is noise. If Lonzo becomes a mvp-tier player then Lavar is going to laugh to the bank. There's risk but that's the price of doing business

the odds are good the dad will get everything he wants from a chinese shoe company. there are companies throwing money at guys like Delly.
the built-in publicity will put the chinese company on the map for a small amount of financial risk (relative to income/market cap). we can laugh now but BBB will happen and then we can laugh again at how bad it is.

Right. And he'll be in the league for 10+ years in an era when salaries are exploding. Even if he's a bench player he's all but guaranteed 50 mil. I'm not sure what this el justo meme is supposed to mean in reference to this talented young man.

to be fair, everyone who's really ever been great was delusional, and many of them were sociopaths.

This is a big gamble it seems, but if it happens to work out, they'll be fully vindicated. The ability to DIY is giving them a lot more leverage than had ever been possible.And we've never seen 3 talents with this sort of coordination and planning on the business front before. It's also entertaining to see this madman rant, so I tend to love this shit.

>>75564014
Even if he isn't drafted by the Lakers, Lonzo will pull a Kobe and demand to be traded to LA or he'll refuse to play. Don't worry, Lonzo is destined to bust in a city other than yours.

>>75561911

He played at ucla. A blue blood college located in los angeles. The media was going to blow him up as the next big thing just for that. The same thing happened the shabazz muhammad.

>>75561947
This. Fultz is criminally underrated, and whenever he gives an interview he has to talk about fucking Lonzo. This guy can do just about everything Lonzo can without a fucked up shot and is better at Pick and Rolls and Mid-Range shots.

>>75564806
Lonzo wouldnt do that, he's not an egomaniac like his father

>LaVar Ball is surprised Nike doesn't want to make a 1 billion dollar deal involving a 15 year old

>>75566223
well that's part of it

the real gist of it is he seems more surprised they don't want to sign him to their board of directors and pay him a gorillion dollars for his 'apparel' brand with high-school tier graphic design.

>>75562721
Remember when every talking head dumbass was praising him for being a marketing genius because, "Lel he's getting people to talk about him and his kids XD! He's going to make his kids all millionaires!"

he is one ugly dude, good thing he's rich

>>75566223
It's not that, it's all the brand wants is Lonzo himself. But lavar wants the brands to sign all 4 of them with a lot of money and make him a boss. Also to promote his shitty brand like the Jordan or Yeezy line respectively. He did the same shit to ucla getting all three brothers or none at all, but all the brands decided to not deal with the drama instead.

>>75559648
*Straight up to my face*

>>75567273
Basically attempting what Kanye did without the talent to back it up lmao

As soon as Lonzo signs his first NBA contract, he'll tell his dad to fuck off. That man is legit delusional, he's expecting the big companies to give his sons a Jordan-type deal despite the fact that only one of them is clearly NBA-caliber. Even Michael fucking Jordan himself needed 4 years in the league before he got the "Jordan Brand". The only player to ever get the hype that Lavar seems to think his kids deserve at such a young age, in the history of the NBA, is Lebron James, and he deserved it.

>>75569310
This, basically. Lavar is walking in there asking Nike/Adidas/UA to do a collab with "Big Baller Brand" (yes, his brand literally has the word "Brand" in it) and give them hundreds of millions of dollars. It's fucking insane.

>>75562407

Lavar has unrealistic beliefs about the caliber of players that his sons are.

Lonzo probably isn't going to be an mvp-tier player.

If he becomes an MVP-tier player, Nike, Adidas, etc will line up to give him money that he deserves.

Lavar is being retarded (and transparently greedy) and trying to cash in on MVP-tier money that hasn't been earned yet.

Companies aren't biting yet and Lavar is sabotaging the prospect money that his son could be collecting now.

>>75573075
Also, the entire league is gonna shut his dumbass down and clown him. His dad is a serious niggerfaggot.

audible kek

I feel bad for Lonzo. He's not a great player but he's good enough to play in the NBA and cash in on sponsorships for a while even if he isn't good (and then make more bank if he turns out great). But his father is actively ruining his prospects by making outlandish demands and also chaining Lonzo to his brothers who (LaMelo especially) look retarded and much worse than him

LeVars shit was funny for a while when he was just saying stuff like he could take Jordan 1v1. Now it's just sad.

>>75561907
