Lavar Ball and BBB got these Nike execs mad :umad:

[Bilz]

It isn't that serious. Lonzo could have signed with under armour, adidas, etc and Nike would have missed out anyway.

But let's say a parent decides that he doesn't want the NBA to profit off his son and he wants to make a new pro league to compete with the NBA? Where do we draw the line between ambitious entrepreneur and clueless moron who is in over his head?

Is nike afraid of competition?

Everyone is afraid of competition.

To say you "embrace it" is just a smoke screen. You always want to remain on top if at all possible. Monopoly if you can.

 

[STAN JONES]

Of course they would say that

They don't want anybody putting it in these kids head that they can start their own brand

They want you to sign to their brand so they can make a shytload of money off you and pay you a small percentage of that

 

[Trust Me]

nike hating on a strong black family.

This post is full of half truths..

Says who?

Is nike afraid of competition?

Nike has no competition when it comes to Basketball shoes and apparel

 

[Hiphoplives4eva]

theres so many failed brands out there...bbb will just be the next

its a stupid move

Spoken like a true c00n.

 

[Hiphoplives4eva]

They dominate with about 95% of all basketball shoe sales

Meaning, they're due for a huge L

Ball probably went into the Nike meeting with his own horrible shoe and clothing designs and the Nike Execs were like

Actually this never happened. But I'll let you failed comedians continue

Like Lebron and Curry

Dudes can say what they want about Lavar, but dude is smart. He's playing the ownership game and that is something cac society does not like to see from black men.

They have no problem paying you millions of dollars to be an employee because no one is worried about what a worker does

The BBB brand doesn't need to take over the market. Since they own the brand, even if they get half of one percent of the shoe market, they'd be multi, multi millionaires with equity in a brand that they can expand as they see fit. That's called POWER!.

And Nike is right, Lavar Ball is the worse thing that happened.....to them. Along with Reebok, Adidas and every other sneaker brand. Because if other players start to capitalize on their own image and brand, they will start to do the same thing. Or players will link up in groups and make their own brands.

Imagine if Lebron, Westbrook, Harden and other star players decided to invest a couple million each into developing a brand and manufacturing sneakers? Hiring the same designers that make other sneakers for large brands. Leveraging their star power into relationships with major retailers.

They'd be a problem

Peace

Shhh. No need to give game to these c00ns. Let them continue to think simplistically like their ancestors.

So creating a logo and selling tshirts and shoes is equivalent to starting a league from scratch?

Hateful morons like yourself stay spouting stupidity.

 

[Big Boss]

Imagine if Lebron had done this from jump....

He's the only guy I think that could've made this work. While I hope BBB works out I have my doubts

But lebron didn't have a lavar ball in his life


And nike cut him a 90 million dollar check
