It’s an investment. Not all investments work out tho, and that comes with the risk. Y’all basically don’t want nikkas to take risks or gamble just to keep making the popular and rich companies more popular and rich


Nah, scroll back to the beginning of these threads. We knew Lavar was an idiot. We knew he didn’t have any experience running a business.

If he had ever seemed serious and calculated and was hiring experienced people to guide a reputable business, people would have taken this seriously and celebrated the effort.

LaVar is a house husband. He had no clue what he was doing and it showed. There was no excuse for him having to learn this lesson the hard way. Only the delusional stans didn’t see this coming.

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.

This. But I’m glad to see a black man start a business and continue to push forward.

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:

Cot damn, see this is why you want to talk to professionals and not take nikka advice. You do not spend your own money, you take out a loan or get outside investment funds against something in this case it would be against future earnings. The interest on those loans are tax deductible. You then spend that money on whatever the hell it is you trying to do.

Have you never asked yourself why rich people always get loans or acquire outside investment when they are trying to start or buy anything and they dont just spend their own money?

You absolutely do not take your actual cash and put it into this high risk venture.

I’m richer than you nikka. You a fool if u think he gonna spend all of his own money. At the end of the day it takes money to make money. Y’all nikkas is cool with being just another nikka with a signature shoe with Nike bc y’all are comfortable. When y’all see a nikka wanna make a name for themselves y’all get defensive. Crabs in a bucket. Y’all were wishing for this to fail bc y’all don’t have the galls to start your own business and become truly independent.

You still talking this dumb shyt after all this fukkery, while Lonzo wearing Nike’s for the free? :mjlol:

Damn all this nonsense. Please explain how Lonzo passing up the Nike money. To lose money, then re-invest in that failed venture was/is a good idea?

Ain’t got shyt to do with crabs. nikkas saw how stupid and selfish this shyt was from the jump. Only you goofy BBB stans pretended this was a good idea. Now that everything people said would happen, happened, you wanna blame the people who advocated for Lonzo not to do this dumb shyt.

nikkas is crazy:wow:

Turning down guaranteed good money for doing the thing you love, to fund an inexperienced, ill-advised, business venture as a competitor to the people who were willing to pay you just to exist....

Is dumb shyt :stopitslime:


BBB could still exist with Lonzo getting Nike checks.

You didn’t answer my question. If he sign with Nike, he can’t have a 100% independent sneaker line.

Keep making sure Nike and Adidas make the money tho

:martin: you said nothing about an “independent shoe”, you said his own brand, but even then he could still work toward that. Imagine Lonzo has a popular Nike shoe, while his little bro is the face of BBB.

Much better outcome than this nonsense.

I feel bad for zo.
now we know why he was deer in headlights.
now we know his pops was enabling theft from his own son.
Plus enabling someone else to steal from his son. That was portrayed as a member of the family. On some ol school preskool place Gary Coleman bullshyt.

that in all this damage.
that I will say also damaged.
what could have been the first high quality vocal and technically skilled bball rap artist real rap career too.

zo had all the bare bones to be a real rap star in the NBA.

his pops jagged't that.

which is one of the worst parts of all the damage.

as real talk,...i used to give high reviews to zo's actual skill set and rap releases.

shame his father destroyed the very delicate balance of convincability every rapper hangs on for this kid.

SHAME HIM.

LAVAR BALL, SHAME.

SHAME SHAME.

this.

all of this.
especially when if zo was socalled ingrained in hiphop.
he would have and should have known about all the epic fail fo this from buckshot.
who pioneered online everything with bcc first.
then was very transparent with the trials and tribulations of owning a sneaker design and company. Not to mention, the issues al Harrington had. When Harrington had and almost succeeded to fail. With a better cosmetic original shoe at a stellar price point, as well.
including starbury which also began. After marbury was in the league a substantial amount of time. Plus we saw what a decline in draw could cause as far as ripple effects.
to, collateral damage to said shoe company from bad pr as well.
