All I see is a Dad desperately trying to profit off of his son's success. The reek of desperation is offputting.

You totally sorta redeemed yourself!!


Watching that and the thing w/Marcellus Wiley the other day just makes me love this crazy bastard even more.

I like that he's having fun with it and not backing down to anyone. This is fantastic, the spectacle, all of it.

You think Lonzo is worth what Lavar is demanding? Will it hurt their bottom line if they tell him to piss up a rope?

I guess I don't understand how this BS start-up t-shirt company is supposed to leverage these major companies into a ridiculous shoe deal. I think the supposed leverage is a paper tiger.


It is just a negotiating ploy to try to force the issue to be more of a partner with the shoe company and not just a paid endorser.

We arent talking about products we are talking about branding. If Lavar owns the BBB brand and logo and licenses it to the shoe company, then he gets a bigger piece of the pie. Nike owns the King James brand and logo and pays LBJ a percentage. What if LBJ owned the King James brand and the logo from the beginning? If LBJ ever got pissed he could leave Nike and take his logo with him.

Think about Jordan, what if he owned Jumpman himself? And he got pissed and took Jumpman to Adidas. Think about the leverage he would have had if he owned the brand and logo from the beginning.

I watched it and actually liked him. He is playing a role in my opinion. Just like Ali. Good for the balls if things work out for them.

That's all well and good, but why would Adidas or Nike do this?

He might be the biggest idiot I've ever heard speak.

I truly hope UK pushes UCLA's grill in, just because of him.

I feel bad for lonzo because his on court play is completely opposite of his dads personality. Lonzo plays basketball in such an unselfish, beautiful way. He seems really humble during all the interviews I've seen of him.

For as much as I can't stand lavar, I really enjoy watching lonzo. I'll be rooting for him to succeed in the NBA.

That is the brilliant part, if they do it, great
If they don't, so what, worth a shot.
Others will try the same thing

If there are three successful Ball brothers then it could pay off even more
