Lonzo Ball shoe sponsorship

LaVar has said he will make a brand like Jordan if shoe companies do not give him the right deal

It makes me wonder what the shoe name will be.

They already have a name for their apparel line. It's Big Baller Brand. I'm sure it will just use that name.

"I am going to put on my Big Ballers" does not sound nearly as cool as "putting on my Kyries". Cool sells. 8-)

Slava has some catchy ones.

What is Lavar? Is he his kids agent as well? Getting a Joe Jackson feel about him.

Between telling 29 teams not to draft his kid and this crap the dude needs to shut the **** up. Ball is talented but despite what his dad says he's not Curry. Yes we get that he needs to play for the Lakers and a hold out might happen if Phoenix or Boston takes him but who cares? He is a rookie.

They should call the brand "Our delusional father is trying to ruin our careers, send help". It's not short, but I think it's pretty catchy.

lol at you thinking that he trying to ruin their careers

he obviously did a lot of right things in their childhood because his kids are BALLing right now. The kids can be the most talented in the world but without good parents they would not live up to their expectations. So when you are saying that their pops is trying to ruin their careers thats just a sad way of looking. He's a proud father and he is trying to help his sons become the best players. His methods are working. Check the interviews he did about a week ago, he gave a lot of valid points.

Like how is he going to destroy their careers? Because of the media BS they about to put on his sons if they underachieve?

Obviously, I was being sarcastic, he does not try to ruin their careers. He is though, without a doubt, a slightly crazy person, and I think a ticking timebomb. He did well so far, at least one of his sons will make it to the NBA, and be a high pick. But if you read up on him, you have to realize that a lot of what he is doing, will absolutely not fly in the NBA.

The arrogance of this family amazes me. So entitled the dad sounds and unlike others I'm not giving the kids the benefit of the doubt that they are innocent victims and none of this would be going on if their dad were normal. I will not be a fan of whatever team(s) take these kids.

I'm trying to fight it hard, because I know it's not fair to the kid, but the father is making me really hate the family.

His dad is doing nothing for the benefit of Lonzo. Lonzo's agent is gonna have to step in soon to assure his father keeps his blabber mouth shut.
