Nah, it's bytch nikkas like you that wanna sit on the fence. You can't support something and simultaneously shyt on it, pick one. Giving suggestions is one thing...but shytTING on something you're trying to support is like shytting on your dinner before you eat it. Stand firm in your hatred or shut the fukk up.

:yeshrug:
Nah, that's not how it works breh. I can pour money into a restaurant, be an investor, supporter etc. but if I taste the food and it's nasty, I'm gonna tell the chef the food was nasty. Or else that restaurant will fail.

this is big news for a couple reasons...1. it shows bbb is doing better than people may think.....2. while zo may be the better baller, melo is the more marketable one...with him being the youngest & still in high school, means they/he get a chance to grow his fan base even more...if he can ball out, the sky's the limit for him and bbb...

...can see one of the established shoe companies trying to acquire them soon......

I just don't think he'll be able to wear it during games...

Just like Zo, he couldn't wear BBB during games but could wear whatever he wanted off the court... Thats where we first saw his ZO2's irl.

But Melo is only in Highschool. He got 2 more years of wearing his own shoes in highschool. Unless NCAA starts trippin now, then i don't see the problem. It's a family company, not even public I don't think. He should be fine regardless.

And maybe by the time Melo gets to college, BBB would have begun a partnership with a major company and maybe it helps. Who knows
The zo2 was released after Lonzo's last game im pretty sure, no?

He's making money off his likeness. That's a 100% violation. He should just go to somewhere like France or Germany where there wouldn't be a huge culture shock and the level of play wouldn't be so great he'd be buried on the bench.

He's a big time name and would sell tickets so im sure he could get a really nice payday for 1 year.

China would actually probably be the best move marketing and salary-wise but I think it'd be alot to ask an american kid to go live there for a year at 18

I knew it was some bullshyt:patrice:

Technically, he's not making money off his likeness, his father and mother is... From their own company

But regardless, we got 2 years to worry about this dumb shyt the NCAA will be talking. I'm sure BBB got a plan or loophole for it as well

False equivalence.

You investing or pouring anything into BBB? No?

lavar is an attention whoring, living vicariously thru his kids prick, but i salute the hell outta how he's setting up all these business ops - manufacturing at that, that's hard to get into - that are funneling more money back to the fam. hope he can expand to help other kids heading into the NCAA slave system to create a way to funnel funds to them as well.
