Lavar Ball Under Fire For Response To Kyrie Irving
- Thread starter Homeboy Runny-Ray
- Start date
Yeah. His son being thrown in the bushes by anybody that matters
Nah, it leads to more kids coming in the league doing the same thing, that's bad for business, on their end.
Sound shook to me..and I'm grown my nikka, there is nothing I"m saying that indicates that I'm a child or that I'm thinking on a child's level. If you disagree with what I said make a point, telling me to grow up is a cop out.
Again..nikkas in here talmbout "bu bu bu what about what people are gonna say to Lonzo in the locker room, they gonna come for him!"
I'm chillin, you know, peeping "big picture" shyt, like kids do.

What part about this approach mirrors the last time a draw outside of Nike was successful for a family legacy based ball player.
Lemme answer that for you,..none of it.
As real talk,...
In the case of lonzo ball being a prospective success in the sports performance shoe and apparel game.
Either you use Michael Jordan's model of success.
or you use grant hill's model of success. Of which, grant hill's dad and Mrs hill grant hill's mom are taken industry wise.
as the most astute well mannered pc people in the room.
Especially mrs hill and mr hill is a former professional athlete. Of which on two sectors lavar ball fails as he is not dignified like mr. Hill. Nor is he as astute as mrs hill. Of which both had commentary just recently on the jump that illustrated the level of intelligence of the hill clan. Plus the fact, grant hill in the Jordan model could follow mj at Micky d's and a successful shoe line at fila.
All because grant was apart of the same PC movement mj adhered too.
In this lavar ball has not realized .
How being PC is integral to your success as an upstart and as the main flagship in its development stages as well in the performance shoe apparel line business.
That is how inept lavar ball is in this.
As he has not even recognized, identified, and never studied the model of success via market research and emulated them. Plus he has lonzo who emulates grant hill's very pc demeanor and family extensive background as a second Gen player. Yet lavar ball has ruined lonzo's ability to draw in the same manner with errant lack of PC based pr. That drives the BBB far and way from the drawing spectrum in this line of business

Pretend lonzo is the first to not sign with Nike brehs.
Forsee lonzo being an all time great, while telling others not to worry about his career brehs
Match the intellectual prowess of a proven idiot brehsSound shook to me..and I'm grown my nikka, there is nothing I"m saying that indicates that I'm a child or that I'm thinking on a child's level. If you disagree with what I said make a point, telling me to grow up is a cop out.

No one can do the shoe business on their own without a large pool of revenue and serious stake in other areas of business. We have seen every shoe company fail in this arena.
that was new that was not named:
Fila
Reebok
Ewing ; was an alternative niche that showed you could have some success but it paled incomparison to Jordan and subsequent industry submission from the hill fila and Reebok answer.
Lavar ball has no idea what he is doing and his lack of market research and billion dollar asking price are off key. As lonzo ball is not anywhere near the talent or draw or actualized college freshman ball player that Michael game winning ncaa tournie jump shot hitting freshman was in timeline comparison as well. Nor is he an actualized pro like lebron with lebron's best in catholic league Prep history pedigree. Nor is lonzo ball tiger woods with a draw equivalent to being the best amateur golfing prospect in history.
In just black urban designer history he is not flanked by LL cool j who had stake in troop. That initially aided fubu, whom also got to perform a coup of a world wide gap ad as well.
So, this is destined to fail because lavar ball has not done market research.
to make up for the caisson like void that exist for lonzo as a draw.
incomparison to successful principals in this business.

What? nikka these comments came in the same breath of his comments on James kids, he was clearly juxtaposing their situations with a hypothetical.
"You got LeBron, it’s gonna be so hard for his kids, cause they gonna look at them like ‘you gotta be just like your dad.’ And after a while that pressure starts sitting on you like ‘why do I gotta be like him, why can’t I just be me?’ And then they’re gonna be like ‘aw, you’re soft, you’re not that good.’ Because the expectation is very, very high.”
My sons are good, they’re great,” Ball said. “But let’s say I really excelled in football and made millions of millions of dollars. Do I spent that time with them now? — No, I have to worry about the offseason and I just buy you a trainer and hope that you turn out okay. Whereas the fact that I wasn’t all that, allows me to take the time to make my boys all that.”

wtf is the angle?Wait......what?
Y'all mufukkas just make up any angle
what did I say that was wrong.. please tell mePretty much.
Folks just need to stop bringing up people's family though...that shyt'll get you kilt out here :iseeu:
I mean on an elementary level: Even capturing 2% of a billion dollar market gets you what?
Big picture, at least from where I'm sitting is, more people begin to follow suit, Nike execs confirm their fears...the Levar Ball phenomenon is indicative of what's happening with the world at large. Rebelling against institutions whither it be media or merchandise.
wtf is the angle?
Absolutely nothing was wrong with what you said, these nikkas are replying from the sunken place
I'm sure he didIf he know kyrie had a kid and what type of situation it was I can only imagine what he would have said
You're looking too deep into this. Notoriety does not equal sales, especially in fashion. Period. Nike isn't scared of ball
