What makes you think lavar ball has more urban permeation with that exact consumer base than bmf, tho.

I think you missed the whole entire premise of the rant and stance.
Which is,...
If people did not support bmf and buckshot.
What makes anyone think an unknown can launch a basketball sneaker and apparel company.

You completely missed the point skimming, nikka.

People did not support that shoe cause it cost $1500.

People against bad business practices and ideas?

Just because he is black and pretending to "take control" we gotta support him?

When a player I'm not even a fan of, even a hater of, is doing genius level business everyday?? (LEBRON)

Just because you put your name on something and call it yours dont mean nothing. The name of the game is making money that will last generations. BBB making 500k revenue ain't doing nothing to help his family long term. Take the Nike Bag of money then you have millions to create something special that will last generations - its literally like yall arent listening.

Did Jay-Z, boss of all hip hop bosses, make his own label and then go out and start selling CDs and making CDs himself and trying to get them put into Walmarts? Or did he partner with Dame and Biggs, go get a 50/50 deal with Dej Jam, who would fit the bill for the things Jay def couldnt at the time, open up their marketing budgets (you cant sell sh!t without marketing, and marketing aint appearing on First Take once a month...you do now a commercial ad buy costs a few mill) and then use that revenue to launch your own products and gear?

Hustiing backwards, and I still havent seen anyone in a leather BBB fitted...

Did I say you had to support him? All that typing for no reason . I said don't be against it. Y'all all on his/his fam dikk. Let them do what they do. Either way they rich and you not so who gives a fukk?

How am I on his dikk youngsta? Because I typed on a message board? I don't think about BBB or do anything involving BBB in my regular life, so I'm not stopping no shine.

And you obviously don't know me lol, talking about they rich and I'm not...How about we compare my bank to YOUR bank one day since you a funny guy, and see who's feeling like a nut

Don't get online confused with offline my man, play it cool.

you know lonzo is low key mad as fukk he has to rock his dads wack ass sneakers

They are grown. Which means they are either stupid or feel bad for him

Letting him come on their interviews. Wearing the wack ass shoes and clothes


Any fool can see the antics are embarrassing and the clothes terrible. So they either really believe in this shyt just like dad. Or they feel bad for dad and don't want to hurt his feelings


You cannot tell me lonzo hasn't wanted a pair of J's to rock

I'm bout to support BBB. Screw these greedy execs

call execs greedy when the balls are selling $5 tees for $100 a piece

Eli Manning bytched and moaned when he got drafted to the Chargers. He didn't even smile when he held up the jersey. His dad was worse than Lavar just more behind the scenes.

Lavar is the Kanye.West of basketball.

 

[MrWestGrand]

All I'm saying is Lavar has a few options, and imo I believe he wants to somehow create a bidding war for the right to distribute the BBB merch between the majors. It's my belief, that by Chinese companies now entering the BBall shoe market, and attracting NBA players, is creating some leverage in his position because we don't really know who or who hasn't approach him about this so called venture. I will say this, his loud abrasive approach got people's attention, but I'm not sure it's gonna get him through the door. He should flip it, and become more sophisticated and refined in his approach. Maybe hire someone who is. I wonder who he's choosing for management..,

I love how people will give advice under the guise of caring about somebody's welfare and career. Between you and his father, I would bet his father cares more about his career than you. And beyond that, he cares that his son has a check after he stops entertaining you on NBA on TNT every Thursday night.

Yea, I know about Marbury and Shaq. They made money.

They might not have been the favorite shoe of the masses, but they made money.

They might have been sold in foreign countries moreso than the US, but they made money.

They might have even been sold in Wal-Mart, but guess what? They made money.

And how is doing something for yourself wrong? How is trying to be the owner wrong? How is not taking a dikk up the ass wrong?

Bro, you don't help blacks by cheerleading black people to keep letting everyone else be the owners while you hope to get a paycheck for using your celebrity. Think about how many millions these athletes get paid to be brand ambassadors. Now, think about how many millions or billions the owners must have in order to pay those athletes those millions in contracts.

I'm not saying don't leverage OPM, but they have more than enough startup capital if every star player invested a very small piece of their wealth into getting started with market research, product design and getting the proper leadership in place. While fishing for investors and venture capital for bring the product to market.

Peace

Exactly. Lebron is still an employee. If he says something cacs don't like, they can take it away very quickly

I might come across as an a$$hole for saying this but someone would have to sit me down and show me the books for him making 500 racks off the stuff i've seen so far

Yet the culture is rocking with Adidas heavy and most of the Nike shoes nowadays are hitting outlets within days

It's funny how people use the evidence of shoes sitting in a Nike outlet as some form of evidence that they are falling off without taking into account certain things.

First if a shoe is sitting in an outlet days after its original retail release its either a shoe produced and distributed for outlets as well as retail or its a B grade. Hypebeasts that find rare Jordan's in an outlet never tell you they bought a B grade because that would lower the amount of people giving them online props. Think about it like this, if you saw Grape 5s in an outlet for under retail and you knew how much you could get flipping them, why wouldnt you buy out the outlet?

Second, almost every outlet center that has a Nike outlet also has an Adidas outlet stocked full of shoes. It's just that nobody cared that you could save 5 bucks on some shell toes. Outside of shells Adidas is just now getting shoes people will rock with and those joints are in the outlets too.

The days of an outlet being a true outlet store are over. Outlets now are stocked with product produced specifically for them and that goes for every clothing and shoe manufacturer there. That's how you can have Tanger Outlets up and down every interstate.
