How people think that dudes are hating on Levar because he tried to build his own brand is mental to me.
That first Rookie contract is not generational wealth.
The amount of shyt that can happen health wise, career wise, team wise and league wise between that first deal and the next deal is vast.
Go ahead and make your own brand, but don’t pass up the chance at guaranteed sneaker money. Then if it all falls down your still good. If it all goes well, your all good PLUS funded to go on your own with the next step of your brand.
The way LaVar went about it was risky as hell and was playing with his sons money, not his own. That’s why people are shaking their head at this, not because they didn’t want to see a black man try it.
