Not as bad as the nikkas comparing Lavar to trump not saying you are though

 

[Loose]

So basically he ain't tryna keep his own brand. That's wack

 

[Premeditated]

He's right about Embiid. When you can't speak English and your vocabulary is very limited, you ought to be the last person being all over social media looking like a clown.

Embiid makes Africans look bad. The guy is annoying asf.

make Africans look bad?

nikka, I'm doing good

Embiid was fined by the NBA... not adidas or Nike or whoever signed him.

Somebody was right calling Lavar the Donald Trump of sneakers... he can say anything, make up stuff and y'all will spin it into Ws and 4 dimesional chess... crazy thing is y'all grown azz n1ggas

And now Dudes are c00ns for responding to a 50 year old man, not even ex NBA player critisizing them publicly... bizzaro land around here

this, I like Lavar because he's with the shyts and is part of Lakers now, but these dudes working overtime to spin some of his actions but don't apply the same for other.

So basically he ain't tryna keep his own brand. That's wack

Lonzo's dad open to shoe deal if 'price is right'

LaVar Ball admits his son's wearing of different shoes serves as both a temptation and an invitation to the brands that passed on him.

"It's making a statement to the brands of what they could have had with an open mind," the patriarch said via text message. "The players are the brand ambassadors. The brand is nothing without the players."


Asked whether there's still a chance that a big shoe brand can sign his son Lonzo Ball, LaVar responded: "If the price is right. Quite frankly we are officially in the shoe game, and are a billion dollar brand either way."

The Los Angeles Lakers' first round pick has played four games in the NBA's summer league. In the first two games, he wore his own Big Baller Brand signature shoe. For the third game he wore Nike, and for the fourth Adidas. Ball told ESPN before Saturday's game against the Brooklyn Nets he'd wear Stephen Curry's Under Armour shoes.

Ball has garnered more attention in the last two games, not only for his surprising choice of shoes -- steering away from the Big Baller Brand upstart that has sold its shoes, priced at $495, online and will ship on Nov. 23 -- but also because of how well he's played.

Both LaVar and Lonzo said wearing different shoe brands has to do with the independence Lonzo has to switch things up. But some insiders in the shoe industry thought it was strange that Lonzo was wearing other brands so soon.

In negotiations with the big brands -- Nike, Adidas and Under Armour -- LaVar made it known that he was looking for $1 billion and wanted those brands to sublicense his Big Baller Brand. The shoe brands quickly passed. Days later, the first Big Baller Brand shoes launched on the company website.

Industry sources said the traditional companies have offered Ball deals in the range of $1.5 million per year. Playing on the Lakers, plus the power of his holdout, could boost that up over $2 million a year.

That's a long way from a billion.

Through his first four games, Ball is averaging 17 points and a summer league-leading 9.8 assists per game.

This is stupid...
He's been talking about months about wanting to have ownership and the importance of ownership now after seeing how much money they wont be making hes ready to sign an endorsement deal...

Whatever company they sign with a part of that deal will be selling over ownership of BBB...

 

[The Emperor]

I think the end goal is too partner with one of the companies but also have them accept BBB so they can sell the shirts/etc which would be for the best.

He's going to have to give up all ownership of BBB

 

[Liquid]

He is clearly not getting enough orders or this would have never been something to consider.

It costs a ton of money to set up a premium shoe brand. His logo is wack, the brand name is wack and there is zero buzz about the actual product.

The sneaker is actually pretty decent, but there is definitely something strange going on because the "prime" colorway has been removed for purchase for whatever reason.

 

[10bandz]

He's going to have to give up all ownership of BBB

For enough dough he probably is willing too....but reports said his offer to the shoe companies before was to license BBB....hopefully he dont sell out for no small ass deal

 

[Donald J Trump]

So basically he ain't tryna keep his own brand. That's wack

he is.. learn how to read in between the lines

GOAT level marketing

 

[Higher Tech]

He about to be the Master P of the shoe game (not P's shoe game tho). His deal is gonna be the first of it's kind.

 

[Higher Tech]

He is tho. He says & does ridiculous things and you nikkas defend him religiously. It's the same cult of personality that Trump supporters identify with Trump. The more outrageous he is, the more y'all like/defend him

What has he said that was ridiculous and untrue?

He doesn't have to give up ownership. He could always sign a partnership to expand/finance his brand. Then Nike gets a cut while doing all the marketing and tech development of BBB. Not saying that's what's going to happen, but he I doubt he settles for a cookie cutter endorsement deal.
