Millions off of billions is like getting a dime off of a dollar. If his own company was successful he'd get billions off of his hard work. No guarantee he would have ever gotten millions from nike, that's not how their deals are set up.


How are the Nike deals set up for for lottery pics and such?

It’s not inherently being “raped” to sign a contract. If that’s the case he’s being “raped” by every team he signs with. Obviously Nike would make more off him than he makes from them and it’s because they’ve already put in all the work that BBB was unable to do.

The smart thing to do would have been to get as much money as he could from Nike and spin that into a lucrative business. Not take all the risk for his fathers fantasy’s.

Nike gives guys that MIGHT be superstars a couple thousand a month as a place holder in case they do become stars. If they do, eventually they get a shoe. If they don't,the checks stop. There basically performance based deals, no guarantee that you'll get millions. It's how Adidas was able to get James Harden.

They were never set up to be successful. shyt was a joke from the start, which is where the majority of attention came from.

how is it foolishly tryin to position themselves

who was ralph lauren prior to 1967...they was jus puttin out ties in bloomingdales

louboutin be4 91...peckerwoods do it not a word said

karl kani n his potna started on crenshaw..nikkas stold from them..

he took it hollywood....it didnt hit connected with ppl in new york,....n it grew...

... most luxury brands have outlets...

ion see nobody complaning about polo, tommy, nike, reebok puma adidasand all the other brands with outlets...

i dont know one person thats been pissed off they paid 100-200 for a pair shoes...that somebody else found for 60 bucks at say a nike outlet...

u get some airmax for 200 on their release..

ill wait til i catch em outlet ....would i care about u bein pissed? nope would u care i got em cheaper i doubt it...did it cheapen the nike brand nah...still fortune 500

this nikka came out and created a brand no side action from other ppl...he did it his way...and eating

him payin for a booth fee setting up at tournaments

gettin playa prices to ppl n meeting and greeting...

all profits...

bet he walked away with atleast 5-10k on that day....
There's a big difference between selling some overstock or lower tier stuff at outlets at small discounts vs selling your main merchandise for like 90% off just to get rid of it. Look at a brand like Rolex, if they gave a few cases of product to some kids and told them to sell them for $50-$100 each, they could walk away with all kinds of cash. But there is no point because they can make more money selling their stuff at regular price.

Of course the ATL
Lavar was out there being a used car salesman over those shoes...something else the "haters" were right about

We kept saying it would've been easy to get a few million in a traditional endorsement deal for a few years, let Lonzo build up his brand and after years of building relationships with brands, media and the right apparel brand build his own brand the right way. Most of us who aren't fans of Lavar didn't want him to fail b/c it's a black man with a business. No we weren't fans of his loud mouth bullshyt and unceasing arrogance that led to this. It's amazing Lonzo didn't have a complete blowout on the court and didn't tear up his knee
