So you guys see now that this guy is a fraud right? Talks a big game but hasn't shown an ounce of talent or business acumen. Stop falling for the okie doke just because somebody black and confident.

This is laughable.
exactly this.


Someone with more savvy and intelligence will refine this down the line and really make a lot of money off it and get over on these companies.

That person is not Lavar Ball. Stop propping this doofus up.

Exactly the players just have to go out and win.

The players don't have to do none of the hardwork
That's the league, not endorsements.

Shoe deals are pretty damn close to free money from the player's side. It's not like you gonna play on a NBA floor barefoot without a shoe deal, they're paying you to wear what you would have had to buy.

Starting your own side apparel line isn't a big deal, he can print all the tshirts he wants.

fukking up millions in easy income for his son is what people have an issue with.

i'll never understand our people......

you nikkas are actually rooting for this man to fail....

think about that for a second....you are rooting for this black man to fail....

so white companies can keep exploiting black athletes.....

i dont even know what to say to this....

:dame:

It's not that people are rooting for him to fail, it's that he is going about everything the wrong way.

1st off the name of the company, the logo, and the styling of the apparel are wack. Big Baller Brand sounds like something Manny Fresh shouted out on a Big Tymers skit back in 2001. The apparel is nothing but an ugly logo printed on a shirt or hoodie. He coulda kept the horrible logo and name if he had great designs for bball apparel and just hid the logo on a tag or put it on the back of the neck in a small font.

Second you don't want to have someone with such an off-putting and in your face attitude as the front man for the company unless you have a product people must have and even then it's risky. Lavar Ball comes off as unlikable in just about every appearance or comment he makes so it makes it easy to say "hey I don't like this guy so I won't even look at his product".

Third he has no respect for the consumer. The guy talks about how it's just a given people are gonna buy his shyt and make him rich. If he would have been humble with the company and made it seem like he wanted to go the affordable route and connect with the actual ball players of every level then maybe people would have got behind him. But his shyt is coming off like "everybody else out here are idiots let me show yall how to get this money". Sure I know that when I buy some Adidas I'm making some white guy somewhere rich but that's the thing, I don't know that white guy and he isn't on tv acting a donkey so the thought doesn't even cross my mind when I go to swipe my card. With BBB I picture the owner with that dumb ass walk on ESPN, him making assholish statements every other week, etc.... I don't want to give that person my money.

Did they fix the sample photo and post the real sample yet?
All cause if we see the sample and it is homer designing a automobile bad.
We can basically put the last nail in the ball family.
As repairing this is beyond repair and real TALK
No apparel and urban company gets this many chances to fukk up.

Just the fact the website featured a pair of pippen for so long shows they have no idea about online hosting attrition rates and value off top.

Especially for a company lacking distribution and looking for a partnership.
How is a company going to partner with you and you are unable to solve posting and hosting issues.
Plus, take to long and allow a large attrition value and lag time on a trouble ticket to go with no attention to it whatsoever.

Just this is handled to wrong to even repair the damage to Lonzo ball.
Damage in an industry where you do not get to mess up.

I support all Black folks doing what they need to do get free from the major shoe companies, so while it doesn't look like Lavar Ball has it together yet, I hope he does, so we can put the nail in the coffin of Nike, Adidas, and all these companies who get rich off of Black folks.

Now, all you nikkaz goin in on Lavar for having a White wife is fugazi, because all the White companies CEOs got wife wives too.

You think Phil Knight got a Black wife?

You think Phil Knight gives a fukk about the Black community?

So why you okay with giving him your money, but gonna give Lavar a hard time?

Look Lavar being successful INHERENTLY is good thing for the Black community.

Anything that undermines the White corporate structure that exploits Black people is a good thing.

If Lavar succeeds, then maybe 10 other athletes think about going into business for themselves instead of kissing Nike ass.

So, say what you want about his wife or kids, but America sees him as a ****** and they see his kids as ******s and they'll see his grandkids as ******s too.


Honestly, the forgotten Godfather's of this shyt is Earl Woods and Richard Williams. Those are the blueprints folks should follow. The only time they put themselves in the spotlight is when someone came at they kids when they were too young to defend themselves. Tiger, Serena, and Venus had careers that broke the fukking molds due to how their pops manuavered.

:heh:Dude, Richard Williams was the epitome of an obnoxious stage dad for years. he's just disappeared in the past few years, but all of their opponents and media hated them for years thanks to their father

No . We should support Marshawn lynch if that's the case . But notice how professional his site and products look and his logo Is contemporary. Ball has a white wife living in an exclusive area with white neighbors getting.black coaches fired . While lynch is in the hood giving back

You can support both you know?

I'm glad I know brother Marshawn has a brand that I can support now. If I can support both, I will
