A billion dollars, it has to be there," Ball told USA Today in an article published Monday. "That's our number, a billion, straight out of the gate. And you don't even have to give it to me all up front. Give us $100 million a year."


quote:

LaVar said last month that if Lonzo didn't sign with Nike, Adidas or Under Armour when he left college for the NBA, he would sign with the Big Baller Brand.

LaVar filed for the trademark to the phrase last year, and was granted the trademark last week for use on athletic apparel. Ball is still waiting for the trademark to the actual logo, which features three "B's" for the sons and the motto "Built For This."

For perspective, it is believed that LeBron James' most recent contract with Nike -- a lifetime deal signed in December 2015 -- will be worth at least $1 billion. Nike pays Michael Jordan more than $100 million annually in guarantees and royalties for the Jordan brand.

Was about to post this in the other thread. I guess that's the purpose of the BBB brand, use it as leverage against the shoe companies for a bigger contract.

And really just explains everything Lavar has done. He definitely subscribes to the Lane Kiffin philosophy of any publicity is good publicity. All these comments and stories are making his sons more money.

Do you actually think he has a realistic chance of getting a billion dollar shoe deal?

Absolutely not. It's ridiculous, he'd obviously settle for much less but a billion dollar asking price gets this article written

Saying outlandish things to get your name in the media constantly doesn't make you a genius. Neither does trying to sell something for exponentially more than it's worth

If he gets his younger sons paid before they have a chance to prove themselves then that is genius.

The Ball's are undoubtedly going to get paid more because of all this, you can call it what you want.

Meh... I don't think said GM would give a frick about LaVar Ball or what he says, as long as his son is balling out
