Hey Nike, that's a nice offer. But I was thinking something

Everyone who hates on Lavar Ball is jealous that he's not their dad. Lonzo wouldn't be a lottery pick with gauranteed set for life money at 19 years old without him, he might not of even went to college for free...

He coulda been like yall, a pimple-faced fuckin wierdo who sat in his room and jerked off to ainmae all day; but no, his dad made sure he became the greatest person he could possibly be. He was 'wit him shootin' in da gym' every. fucking. day. and now his son is on the precipous of greatness.

Yall either had none or one hell of a fuck-up of a dad if you're past the age of 16 and in this thread.

>Everyone who hates on Lavar Ball is jealous that he's not their dad
this, hating Lavar is literally the normiest shit you can do

>>75579417
The best thing his dad ever did was be tall and stick his penis in a tall woman's vagina. That's why Lonzo is where he is today.

>His logo is just three B's and uses outdated black slang from the mid 00s.

Oh god to be a fly on the wall in those meetings.

Does anyone have a picture of the "prototype shoe" he made?

Is it just me or does this guy sound mentally ill?

>Ball's father doesn't know that contracts with minors are voidable under US law.

No shoe company would take the package deal even if he had 3 lebrons, 2 who were 16. Because they could just void the deal and walk away at any time due to their age.

>literally having 'brand' as part of your namebrand

i swear these people

How do you manage to alienate 3 of the biggest shoe companies in the world and your kid is one of the top 2 nba draft picks. He's literally messing up his sons money. The big 3 companies literally walked away from the negotiating table.

Balls hype was supposed to be to get to the table...not to fuck it up so they don't want to do business with him.

nope this is typical dindu behavior, he thinks he is gods gift to the earth and can outsmart everyone but constantly runs his mouth saying stoopid shit

>>75581469
I've seen his type. In his head he thinks he's playing 4D chess while in the real world he's playing connect four

>>75581687
This is letting that little cat Internet money go to your head. He was at the table with the movers and shakers. If you're gonna play the game, then play to win. Balls dad is not playing to win. You don't win a chess game with 1 piece you win with them all moving together.

I figured his antics were to get him an audience with the power players where he would play ball but clearly he's in his own world at this point.

>>75581801
>This is letting that little cat Internet money go to your head.
literally what the fuck are you talking about

>>75581830
He's letting his Internet sales go to his head thinking not realizing what he does in a year profit wise those companies can accomplish in a few days or perhaps a week.

I watched American Pimp the other night and that's how the pimps use to talk. Sorry about the slang

>>75581469
How do you know they are alienated? Walking away with no present deal is very different from that

Nice digits (great ones indeed) but no. I would have killed my father by now if he was as moronic as Lavar The Nigger.

All publicity is good publicity, now more people know about his brand. As much as I can't stand the guy I think his plan might just work.

>>75584938
Yeah it's not like he is completely wrong, the problem is that his brand sucks and his demands are unreasonable. Maybe a Chinese company will agree tho

>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."

This nigga thinks Nike is gonna buy "Big Baller Brand" like Facebook bought WhatsApp

Basically every player has some sort of sneaker deal. It's usually about 4-5 million/year for new players. The relatively small dollar amount has more to do with the fact that the basketball sneaker market has gone to shit in the last few years. But hey, it's a few million just to wear certain shoes while you're playing basketball.

>>75589514
Christ, I've accidentally into some hats where you could feel the logo on the front and it's annoying as fuck. That looks like it's the case for 90% of that hat

>>75581989
They're not going to give him shit.

He keeps trying to start shit with their biggest athletes. You think Nike is going to give an inch to the guy smack talking LeBron, MJ, and to a lesser extent questioning Tiger's business acumen? Will UnderArmour be generous to the guy who has repeatedly downplayed Curry's accomplishment? Sure his shoes are hideous but he's been UA's face during a period of incredible growth for the company, and this mouthbreather is trying to dismiss a two-time MVP as some sort of chump.

If Lonzo was a generational talent like LeBron he might get away with it. But it's fair to say Lonzo isn't.

>>75581941
It's safe to say his internet sales presence is shit. You think he wouldn't be running his mouth about his profits if any existed?

>>75590613
His sales numbers are shit, but that hasn't stopped him from running his mouth.

>So I’m the worst thing that happened in a hundred years,” Ball said. “That’s because everybody’s been in the darkness for 100 years, but you know how this bothers me? Not at all….Let me tell you something, I know I’m on the right step because if nothing like this ain’t happened in a hundred years, then guess what? We in a new lane, baby. That Big Baller Brand about to be your competition.

How ironic would it be for laVar if his kids end up being busts, all 3 of them

Spike Lee is a visionary with Bo$$ key yachts

Y'know, the guy doesn't come across as outright stupid in interviews, just completely out of touch, either willfully or otherwise. He's definitely not a genius, but he's had some moments of clarity in between the insanity that were pretty surprising and just makes his behavior the rest of the time even stranger.

>>75592065
He's has a reasonably accurate grasp of the situation but has chosen to completely overplay his hand and attempt to bluff/bravado his way to the high life, while simultaneously burning bridges in front and behind him.

nah, I'd rather watch them crash and burn, he's forced his sons (he has 5) to focus solely on basketball

This fucking idiot is costing his sons 10s of millions. He's eventually going to have to produce shoes like shaq...selling them for 20 bucks a pop at walmart.

We laugh at black people because it's dysfunctional negroid subspecies at work. I'm fucking amazed when they do the right thing because they play the cards so wrong most of the time.

anyone else feel kind of bad for lonzo? he seems like a pretty normal, quiet kid that wants nothing to do with his dad's antics, but now every fanbase outside of the team that drafts him is going to be thirsty for blood hoping he fails miserably at every turn (and i'm going to be one of them).

>>75600976
A lot of us are sympathetic to lonzo.

And I know it's hard but he needs to establish boundaries and stop allowing his attention whore of a father to latch on and live vicariously through him. It's tough at his age but it will only get worse. His dad has been whispering in Lonzo's ear for almost twenty years telling Lonzo that he got his back, but take a couple steps away and it's clear that the son is just a way for him to satiate his cravings for attention and wealth. Lonzo has the power to protect himself, and he really should take steps to do so.
