Feuding with Nike lmao. I like this guy lavar.

For a nike exec to take time out his day to address lavar tells me they don't want players venturing out.

why cant anyone who is so gung ho on Lavar give me reason why they havent bought any of his product?

Again I am not stating that Lavar cant be successful...

The thesis of this argument and thread is NIKE BEING SCARED OF LAVAR BALL AND HIS UPSTART COMPANY

what is BBB's niche? does he have backers(I dont know)... how have his fullfilment rates been?

If you or I were to go and ask ten random people about big baller brand would they know? how many employees does he currently have?

What is their replenish rate for inventory? What is their break even point? How much redundancy do they have for ther supply chain in case one of the suppliers of their raw materials runs into trouble?

And you know whats most amusing of all? I bet if an athlete wanted to be a big baller spokesperson he would try to do them pretty much the same as any other shoe/apparel company

So with little to no knowledge of certain business metrics about this "company" how can we credibly claim that he is a threat to nike?


And lastly...have you bought a BBB product? would you buy a BBB product? and if the answer is no please elaborate why?
My uncle told me at a young age it's your own kind who hate you the most. All of these questions have no basis it's all jealousy and hate imo.

I legit know folk who turned down money working with a black man to work for a white man for less that's what your post reeks of.

I'm not criticizing your story, I'm just not going to repost all that in my reply.

The bottom line is, most businesses like this are unsuccessful. That's why the reward is so great when it actually works out. But starting the company alone is not where the genius is and it does not warrant celebration.

Right now, he's just an inexperienced dude making ugly shirts and hats and apparently he thinks they'll sell just because his son is mildly famous. He's getting free promotion on ESPN and they clown him for the high price and low quality. I think a lot more should have been done before he ever went public with this. This is an embarrassing effort at this point.

I do not like Nike products but they design their clothes for function and performance. BBB is taking generic premade t-shirts and hoodies and throwing some B's on them. Its a joke.

Says who? You? The air force one and the dunks were designed for function and performance? I could have sworn they were made in sweatshops... :wtf:

You say most businesses like this are unsuccessful. shyt most business period are unsuccessful. Yet only 36% of college students are able to graduate within four years so I guess we should all say fukk college since most people who attend are unsuccessful in finishing their degree on time.

Why are you in here angry that we are celebrating a man doing what athletes should have been doing that last 25 years instead of fattening Phil Knight's pockets. Phil Knights sons aren't in the league so why should a father just sign over his sons earning potential to an old while man?

Why is this man starting an apparel line a joke? What's embarrassing about starting a hat line in your house as a complete unknown nationally (Lavar) with minimal fashion experience and having it worn on national TV by television personalities within 12 months? Where is your product that you've taken public that has gotten free promotion on ESPN and has been seen by millions of people worldwide? Where is your line that is so amazing that you feel you are an authority on sports apparel.

I also noticed you completely ignored me asking you why you don't criticize PRPS for selling mud stained dirty jeans for $425. Isn't that worse than taking premed shirts and throwing a logo on them?

Can I ask what race you are Bilz?

BBB's value is contingent on the success of Lonzo Ball in The NBA.
If Lonzo does succeed, its all done, at least for Lavar's side :manny: LiAngelo and LaMelo could be bums, but they'll probably find some role in the NBA (LaMelo will specifically). you'll at least get representation from 2 dudes. Some of those other Chino Hills dudes coming out with them are ballers, LaVar probably been in they ears for almost 2 decades now.

IF Lonzo succeeds, and IF the shoes dont look like :scust:, they could have something :manny:

Exactly like I said.

:duck: at all the c00ns in here on some but but it's impossible to make shoes. People literally make clothes and apparel every single day all across the planet but shoes is a hard product to create :duck: The price is too high imo but it's a good first step and more players will follow this template in the next 5, 10, 15 years. LIKE I SAID :stopitslime:

I'm just waiting to see which shoe company is going to bite on signing them , a major or a local looking to come up. There's a lot of smaller shoe companies out in Southern California.

Brand Black? (Jamal Crawford 's kicks ):jbhmm:


Is this the first mention, of brand black?

what even funnier is that dudes in this thread have acknowledged that nike took decades before they really became popping

but somehow BBB is gonna come out the gate and be worldbeaters based on sons that havent proven or won anything at any basketball level

so somehow BBB is gonna leapfrog Adidas, UA and other shoe brands to get at nike...



and STILL STILL STILL nobody has answered my question? who in this thread has actually bought BBB products? If they are so gung ho about the brand and the movement surely they would have bought something right


I am still waiting on these guys who purchased fifty dollar knock off and now a shoe definitely price pointed above its actual real value and quality.

I am waiting on these guys to show their hand and their purchases. As all this rars shyt is just head faking for the camera. As none of these nikkaz is buying a pair of BBB nuffin.
Nobody with any idea of money and fashion is buying BBB products.

As they are not worth what they are priced at for retail just off top.
Let alone the actual company name and complete lack of attention to detail. Plus the current bait and switch ideal surrounding their actual shoe. As brand black does not and had not ever produced a shoe really worth a hundred dollars. Let alone a shoe worth five times that at 495, give or take five dollars in shipping.
