Laughing at you n*ggaz like “ha ha ha”
He's a thief/con man who can't be trusted yet you trusted your business to him
"Lavar putting together a team." That's what put them here in the first place
This is the reason some of us were saying it was smarter to take the Nike or Adidas money, learn the game, then build a brand. Instead Lonzo lost out on a guaranteed bag, was a bust, got robbed, got traded, and BBB is a disaster.
The 30 for 30 for Big Baller Bust is gonna be epic
Let's see:
Over charged for low quality items
Didn't meet deadlines
Wasn't shipping orders
Got an F grade from the real BBB over their business practices
Created a basketball sneaker that wasn't fit to play basketball in
Etc...
You call that betting on yourself?
If you're going to bet on yourself you better put yourself in the best position to win. Starting a business when you clearly don't know how to run one isn't commendable especially when Lonzo was the one taking on all risk not Lavar.
companies take time to get started. Look at the history of Nike when they were Blue Ribbon Sports, they had lawsuits and drama over the Cortez shoe. Company tried to shut the down and they literally shared their first shoe with another brand. Takes more than 2 years to get a company started, especially when this hasn't really been done by an athlete and his dad before. Plus, LaMelo is the real star of the family and could be the one to put the brand on for real. He's way more marketable than Zo.

Yeah but Nike was trailblazing. They had no high expectations. Lavar came out the gate saying shyt would go smooth as butter (no pun intended).
white boys report the demises..n nikkas eat it..
so lonzo ball is a white boy? a c00n? he went in on the shoes himself...we're supposed to disagree with a dude that was running around in them in the NBA for optics?

Yea bruh
The easy way out is to take the chump change from Nike like everyone else does. Betting on yourself means looking at the bigger picture and taking a risk in regards to that. That’s what he did...
It was smart for him to overcharge so he didn’t get starburyd and the BBB giving him an F is irrelevant. Besides that everything else are rookie mistakes and every company has those when starting off. No company becomes a success batting 1000 unless there’s some overnight success/luck involved. Y’all so “pro black” that y’all rather nitpick a nikkas moves than support (verbally or financially)
Then y’all go in another thread and complain when a teams media relations department has no black people in it.
What else is he supposed to come out the gate on a public platform saying?
Lavar was trailblazing for his sons too. No player came into the league with their own brand. Most of y’all just followed cacs in speaking down on what he was doing instead of bigging it up...
How they still rolling with "cash only" this many years into the game? Fools clowned them about that when they launched, they more than two years in and you STILL can't use your card to pay?

Check my post history. I supported Lavar from the jump. Always rocked with BBB. The truth is the truth tho. He proved the naysayers right. I loved the idea of starting your own shyt and betting on yourself but I have to call it how I see it.
I can't ignore the fact that the product was trash, I can't ignore the fact that Lonzo seems to not even be behind his own product. I can't ignore the fact that a felon was running the company and ended up stealing from it.

This is where yall like to be intellectually dishonest. It's not nitpicking to question whether a man whose profession was personal trainer was prepared to run an apparel brand and create a basketball shoe. If they were just selling t-shirts or clothing that's fine but kicks? I really don't think people understood what it takes to make a performance sneaker. There's a lot of R&D involved which they clearly didn't do to have his sneaker created from the draft to the start of the season. The end result was Zo abandoning the product because he couldn't play in it. Who was on the right side of history? You guys are arguing when the evidence is right there in front of you that you were wrong.
If it's about "support" we can assume yall got a closet full of BBB gear right? If the Zo2 price was smart yall copped a pair right?

Lavar's family has no black people in it
