Lavar Ball Showing The Power Of Ownership (LaMelo: "Beat That N!gga Ass" - No Loss Of Endorsements)

[Michael's Black Son]

THEY?



Lonzo does the leg work and THEY make some serious money?

Who's the boss here again?

bytch there's three brothers plus the father and mother. Everyone has been doing their part along with who we don't see. Don't act like it's just lonzo out there putting the whole family on his back.

I mean if being good at sports and being able to manage that sports talent for max financial compensation is "FOR NOTHIN", then consumerism and capitalism are just bytches aren't they?

Hes a no name sports player

I got a message for the clowns on this site that hate on bbb

brand is still ugly fam. I don't care if I catch negs. I don't hate it but I wouldn't wear it either it isn't up to par with the competition just because it is black owned.

You right its better because it IS black owned.

Black people are the best at EVERYTHING.

Don't fukking forget it.

Fair to feel that way but let's be real....a lot of people happily buy ugly ass shyt from Jordan/Nike, Adidas, UA, etc all the time just to follow trends and shyt. People buy ugly ass LeBron's . Most players got ugly ass logos that are slapped on shirts and other gear and people buy it. Which players personal logo is even dope like that?

I dont think the point is for the clothes and shoes to look nice and shyt. They're banking on the fact that if Lonzo is a star, he'll sell gear regardless how it looks. Kids love the athletes more than the fashion itself.

ok breh but that isn't reality.

you don't make subpar product while trying to be better than your competition. Black loyalty will only carry them so far. They need to be competitive in their market. get out your feelings and look at the business of it. like we haven't seen this with fubu. y'all gon body yaselves again. Black people are the best but this brand isn't representative of that.

Well I hope they have that level of brand loyalty but it takes some wins to get that level of pull first of all. 500 sneakers isn't cutting it.

Underarmour was also banking on pushing garbage gear with a celebrity. Converse did the same when they were in basketball too. It doesn't work. I don't know why you would want to settle for mediocrity it's not even hard to design shyt anymore...

Explain why.

I don't even fukk with Lavar Ball like that but the segment on RAW as entertaining as fukk if only for the fukkery of it all and LaMelo saying nikka is a non-issue to me.

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

Explain how.

I mean posters said it in here the clothing doesn't look great but they will support because of what it stands for. It can be great and also black owned why is that so hard to understand?

You are just showing blind allegiance. Black people are style and fashion influencers, the brand is not representing that with their old ass sensibilities. It's not fashionable

 

[Gyasi85]

I should be negged for taking taking 11 pages long to dap the OP cacs @ work giving me the side eye everytime they bring up Lavar expecting me to c00n and i hit them with the ....and why i support Ball silly ass cacs out here on KKKespn really hoping that kid fail just to spite the father talking bout " I really hope the kid does well " CaC you ain't slick anytime a melanated man talk shyt and own shyt... CaCs start to and they not the least bit concerned bout that boy

 

[TrebleMan]

Going to need somebody with photoshop magic to somehow morph Lavar's ESPN entrance with his wwe entrance.

 

[Kang Deezy]

How can you lose endorsements you don't have?

True that it does take wins. But Lonzo already has a leg up being on the Lakers. Nick fukking Young got a shoe deal and magazine covers being on the Lakers. If he ends up being the guy who brings the Lakers back post-Kobe, he and the brand will be good. Plus he sold 500 sneakers before even being drafted....what players have done that before? Lonzo would've sold 0 sneakers by now if he signed with Nike. What rookies get their own is signature sneaker anyway? Nike be having nikkas wait yeaaaaarssss for their own kicks.

I do agree that need to do better presentation though....i think the clothes are decent but the shoes obviously need some work. And the website is embarrassing....idk if Lavar does that on purpose to make a point but they could definitely upgrade a lot of that shyt.
