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.


nikka have you ever had a bag of money in yo life?

how the fukk you come to the conclusion rookie NBA money is not generational wealth.

nikka stop.

you batch all those checks the fukk up in multiple cds and live month to month.

stop it.


rule number one:

you don't spend the PRINCIPAL.

leave 10 million on the table and youre an idiot. sorry to insult you but there isn't a nice way to say it. he could have got the bag and 3-5 years later with Nike or independently released youre shyt. instead you lose out on the nike deal, lose out on youre own personal cash that funded that clusterfukk and lose out on building youre brand


Exactly this.

BBB was a bust because Zo was a bust. If he was as good as Tatum, Ja, Ingram, Trae etc it would've been huge.

Lavar bet on his son and failed.
the more they made the more homie woulda been stealing tho.

Even then Ingram wasnt good his rookie of 3rd year. And lowkey lonzo still is a very popular and talked bout player in the league.

they tried, nike declined.

melo is the golden child, he could boost the brand back up if he'd listen to his father and not his brother. good to see gelo sticking with his dad, he's loyal af.
Lol gelo literally has nothing else and the direct cause of melo not being able to get a year full of free promo in college cause he had to move to Eastern Europe to play pro

None of the kids are in any of the posts since last year. Big ups to Lavar if he can carry it on his own (which is probably how it always should have been, Lonzo probably could have got $50+ million from some sneaker company)

Lonzo could/shoulda/woulda done a lot of things but it’s not helping that he gotta get his game in order. Even with the BBB “missteps”, Zo balling out would’ve done wonders for the brand but a deal in his rookie year was still a missed opportunity (obviously).

I’m all for the boys getting whatever bags they can get outside of their actual contracts but if the brand was gonna be a thing then there should’ve been full effort behind it from too to bottom. And this year with the shutdown and basically nothing going on should’ve been an opportunity to reboot the whole shyt.

And I don’t mean a reboot in words alone. They should’ve been working on new (good) designs and then trying to partner with schools for some kind of apparel deals for 2021 when shyt hopefully gets back to normal.
