I dont think Lonzo would have gotten a tattoo if he wasn't all in either, blaming LaVar for forcing him is stupid but at this point he has moved on and I wish LaVar was done too. This relaunch with Gelo only wont really work. They had a good idea but executed poorly imo

The higher powers at be weren’t going to let them succeed regardless as it would have happened opened up the flood gates for other players to make it on their own. Not having the need for shoe companies anymore.

I wonder how this works because he's wearing Kobe PEs that no regular person can get their hands on
Is he requesting Nike to give him personal pairs or because Nike is the official NBA apparel its worked through the team?

The thing is, rich people dont gamble with their own money. That way if it doesnt pay off they dont end up out on the street. You dont use your son's first NBA contract as you own personal bank account to try and live your dream. Let that dude get secure first, then branch out.
NBA contracts are guaranteed. If he fail on his brand, then sign with the popular brand. You think these rich people got rich by only using other ppl money? You crazy

What does that have to do with anything? The dad wanted to spend the guaranteed money on BBB.

Read up on how most rich people got started, its through loans from other people (often from very rich family).

It’s an investment. Of course they’re gonna spend money from his contract. Y’all nikkas really hate to see a nikka try to start his own shyt, then be in the next thread complaining about nikkas buying Jordans :camby:

Nobody hates on a brotha trying to start his own shyt. That is a bold face lie and I’m sick of seeing that agenda being pushed on here by BBB sheep. It’s how Lavar went about business. His philosophy was clearly bad publicity is better than no publicity. He literally talked shyt and burned bridges everywhere just to get notoriety, it worked with Lonzo, but people got hip to the game and failed promises and cut ties with him. It’s his fault for under delivering. It’s his own fault for pricing out the everyday black person. It has nothing to do with starting his own shyt. Tyler Perry started up his own studio and has received nothing but praise and admiration because he did business the right way. Lavar is nothing but a oil snake salesman with a rotten tooth. fukk that nikka.

He's getting them from Nike for free. I've known people who worked there and giving out free sh*t was light work, even just to friends.

The future ain't promised. Lonzo's not even promised a significant nba contract at the moment much less a shoe deal. Getting the bag when he came in the league and the Lakers hype was highest was the best move.

Agreed

Lavar/Lonzo should have done a deal with Nike/adidas/UU or an Asian company like li Ning or Anta in which Lonzo shoe would be called BBB and brand it as a family thing, they then could have taken all the capital from the deal once it was up to go off on their own.

Hell rappers like Drake and even push’s T have been adding their logo to shoe deals for a while now.

If Pusha T can get “King Push industries” branding on Addidas then Lonzo could have def got BBB.
