Odell Beckham just hit Nike for $25m. Tell me again how BBB is winning?

[010101]

burn money just to feel independent jajajahahaa
the smart thing to do is plot it out and take the most guaranteed $$$$$$
plus he doesn't have the juice like that as far as trendsetting goes he's a wave rider

What is Nike doing, that Odell and his team/company personals couldn't do themselves?

Billions of dollars that can be used to research, market and manufacture an elite shoe and make the shoe at a reasonable price point for mass consumption.

Plus the brand name alone...means it's gonna sell...

 

[Da King]

If Nike gave him $25 million that means he's worth $50-75 for Nike

You c00ns just so eager to laugh another the failures of black folk for cac approval

Oh ok

I think Odell can sell his own shoe, without the help of Nike and make more than 5 million dollars

He can make an elite shoe and do research on his own.

Na...anticipation is hard to build...Lonzo will be scrutinized to no end the minute he gets in. This is the moment to strike....if he is performing well then it will be a snowball effect. No sense in waiting years...do it now that it's fresh on people's minds and they can grow with the brand

That's actually a really good point. Thought Lavar would want to let Lonzo settle while he starts making contacts with suppliers and designers but what you mentioned is extremely valid.

 

[NO-BadAzz]

If Odell wears a pink/yellow/red/blue wrist band when he plays and post videos of it on IG

He'll have every youth pop warner kid wearing that shyt.


He don't need Nike for that shyt to sell.

Salutes to Odell, but it seems like the most popular skill position players other than QB changes every 2-3 yrs

Difference between marketing basketball shoes & football shoes.

Nobody wears football cleats in casual setitngs.

What kind of endorsement deal do u think Lonzo would have got?

How many rookies over the last 15 years got a significant deal?

Is Lonzo even In the national spotlight without his dad?

Ben Simmons got $20 mil guaranteed over 5 years from Nike last year and hasn't set foot on an NBA court yet.

That's a better comparison for Ball than Beckham.

Ball, especially if he goes to the Lakers, could have EASILY gotten a deal that big, or bigger, from one of the big 3 companies. Even if Simmons was the better player, Ball is the bigger name and in the bigger market.

Do you realize how long it would take Ball to approach $20 mil off of BBB? We're talking literal YEARS. Maybe a decade at least.

 

[Buggsy Mogues]

Nike prob makes that in 6 months off his brand

Do you -- if you even have a job -- get paid more than your company itself makes?

The time itd take for BBB to reach that kind of market share would outlast Lonzo Ball's career

Odell, should have invested in himself and made his own company and sold his own shoes.

Don't need Nike, you already got a fan base.

Build your own pyramid and top adding to others.

You sound like those financial advisors who hand their card to newly drafted players to get them to invest in bullshyt to lose their ass

 

[Cladyclad]

Lonzo is a top pick in this year's draft and based on how the draft is slotted this year, Lonzo will play in a major market which would only enhance his marketability with a major shoe company. I think it's very possible that he could've negotiated a deal similar to Wiggins especially since he had multiple shoe companies (Nike, UA, Adidas) interested in him.

But I think you're missing the point I'm trying to make. Lonzo could've had a million dollar shoe deal, but his father got in the way of that to create and market a shoe that has had at best sold a few hundred pair. Now Lavar is unwilling to negotiate with a major shoe company unless they give him 3 billion dollars. Do you really think these are the moves of a smart business man?

Lonzo would have got the same kind of deal like Russell, Ingram, & Randle. Lavar created the hype outside of basketball. Without his big mouth Lonzo is just another top 5 pick with no fan fare. Would this whole Lonzo to Lakers talk even be a thing without Lavar?

Even more of a reason he shoulda took the money and ran
