Lavar keeping his foot on Nikes neck

[Buggsy Mogues]

You sound close minded.

It's no different than actors distributing movies through their own production studio. Why do that when they can just keep starring in movies with a big studio and stay cashing checks? Yet they do it.

How many actors stop acting in movies all together so they can do nothing but produce? DiCaprio has his own production company but he acts in other films outside of that company. So your analogy makes no sense, it would be like saying OK, Lonzo Ball is gonna wear BBB but he also has a side contract with Adidas where he wears their shyt for road games and BBB for home games


Aside from that -- in your movie scenario, most movies have several different production companies behind it and a producer or production company rarely if ever funds an entire movie. They might put in a little, but movies are financed by many different sources, including private investors, banks or the distribution company itself. Who is gonna fund BBB? Probably Lonzo himself.

Not to mention the fact that the sneaker business is a lot more difficult to break into than film or music. Hundreds of films and thousands of songs are released every year and every year there's new films, new actors, new directors having success. In shoes, one company holds 90% of the market share in basketball and over half the market share in general apparel (while 2 others account for the majority of the rest) so its nearly impossible to break into. Only a complete dumbass would try to compare these two businesses

Coli nikkas have no vision whatsoever

So Kanye can make $4 shoes, charge $250 for them and have everybody waiting for 12 hours to buy them but, you think NBA superstars don't have the same potential to do that? This is Indie vs. Music Label for sports or how actors start their own production studio. If LeBron was coming into the league right now, maybe he'd take the first shoe deal but, the second? He'd ask himself why not create his own shoes.

Ye is with Adidas

And you realize LeBron just re-signed a lifetime deal with Nike TWO YEARS AGO right?

Why didn't he just go and create his own shoes like you seem to think is so easy, dummy?

If Ye followed your logic, he would've just stayed a rapper/producer. And I'm pretty sure Adidas is more of a "distributor" than him simply being signed to them.

You obviously have no business intellect whatsoever.

If 2 Chains can sell dap sweaters there's nothing stopping a player from selling his own shoes.

said it already they only making a meme out themselves
big corporate brands can push product everywhere regardless of how swaggless an athlete might be
these new nikkas need the machine to sell them

to do it on your own you gotta be the best player of your generation or a style icon bigger than the sport

Yeah like Nike is going to give a contract Al Aminu You have to be a top player to get a serious contract in the first place. If the shoe looks good, feels good and you got the right marketing team you could sell them right on amazon f*ck a Nike. You sell 100,000 shoes, make your 3-5 million and STILL own the rights to your likeness.

Stop right there. I said Lonzo Ball could usher in a new movement of players selling their own apparel. There's nothing stopping a superstar player with millions from contracts and endorsements deciding to create their own shoe. Just say you scared of risk and leave it at that because you sounding silly. These players have built in demand already. All they would have to do is create a dope design for a shoe, a website, market it on Instagram, a YouTube video and wear it at games and these kids would be flying to their site to order it. fukk outta here. Just say you're scared and leave it at that You nikkas spend all day talking about ownership then bytch up at the idea of really being an owner. I brought up actors because that flies in the face of your logic too. Eventually actors want some of the backend profits and they create their own studio houses (Adam Sandler and Happy Madison or Will Smith and Overbrook). They either put up some bread for the movie or take no money up front for backend cut. A nikka like you would've told them to just stick to getting paid up front and to not try to produce their own movies And they wouldn't have to take on the Major Shoe Retailers. They could sell less shoes on their own, make more than the peanuts the big companies were giving them yet have absolute control and ownership over everything. I can totally see that being a thing in the next decade.

Lol Yep, how does it feel to be so woke!!

It's definitely not a black Nike exec who was asked what he thinks about Lavar Ball in an interview, its the owners and founders of Nike that are so scared they are trying to bring the man down!

It's the white man that is making no one purchase BBB, even though internet trolls are saying its going to take down Nike and spark a revolution (while you probably have Nikes on right now!)

Nope, its not the fact the clothes are ugly, the name is stupid and nobody supports the brand, its going to take down Nike because Lavar Ball said so, a guy who never won anything or ran a business in his life...Yep, just like the Obama administration, he is giving us hope.

BBB is bad for business - now post your BBB order # or gear that you own.

Your condescending characterisation of my mental state is comical because I haven't seen the movie that sparked the language you just tried to reverse psy-coli use against me. Are you woke yet So if we can stop communicating thru lower intelligence stereotypes, how about you stop getting defensive when discussing topics you do not fully understand Nobody said BBB will replace Nike. What we are saying is Nike is built on partnerships with the top athletes on the planet. There marketing abilities is used to boost the Nike name. Nike doesn't shoot basketballs, Jordan did, LeBron does. How much you think they made off of Jordan's?

Now keep following me...

Nike had big dreams of forging a similar relationship with Steph Curry. He's a hot commodity, and unknown in the shoe space Under Armor promised him BBB bread to allow them to design a shoe for him. The shoe looks decent, sold like hotcakes, Steph gets paid and has stock. Nike misses out on the money like how Dana white would miss out if McGregor didn't fight Mayweather.

If that ball kid does good in the league, he will get a similar deal from somebody. Why would future athletes not want the same? Nike isn't going to wait till YOU understand this fact, they see it and will do what they can to prevent it from happening. What has Lavar done to prompt that type of response from Nike, I'll wait

Ye is with Adidas

Why didn't he just go and create his own shoes like you seem to think is so easy, dummy?

He's still a professional basketball player who doesn't have the time or desire to do what you're talking about. Jordan when he retired wanted to capitalize on his name and that's when Nike struck the deal for the"Jumpman's"

LeBron, instead of focusing on having his own shoe company is instead building schools
