quote:

"We've said from the beginning, we aren't looking for an endorsement deal," LaVar told ESPN. "We're looking for co-branding, a true partner. But they're not ready for that because they're not used to that model. But hey, the taxi industry wasn't ready for Uber, either.


quote:

"When Facebook bought Whatsapp for $19 billion, those guys weren't profitable," LaVar said.


He's looking for other partners for the shoe deal still

quote:

"That includes Facebook," he said.

Saw this shite coming from a mile away.

Although Lavar can EAD, I feel bad for his sons. They're stuck with that nutjob running their affairs.

I am curious as to how Lonzo feels about this. Considering he's the only reason this entire family is relevant. He's the cash cow. And now his dad has basically fricked him out of millions of dollars and exposure with his big mouth and stupid idea.

You left out the best part where he says he already has the shoe prototype and he showed it to the companies.

Too bad the article didn't have a picture of it.

saw this coming. Nobody knows who Lonzo Ball is. His dad reminds me of the shysters that used to hang around AAU all star games.

Any kid wearing facebook shoes deserves to be bullied.

Someone should probably let Lavar Ball know that Nike didn't give MICHAEL JORDAN a brand until he was the most famous athlete in the world.

They should make the 2K18 my career modeled after the Ball family.

They can have the zany dad whose always in the player's business trying to control everything. Meanwhile, your character would look just like Lonzo by default if you don't edit anything. Would be a good fit.

Their clothing website looks like it was created with a $99 computer software. Look at this wrinkly arse white t-shirt that they want $50 for.
