They were hot for a second and did something not many can do. The idea was great but the execution was horrible, mostly because Allan was not a good partner to have. I still think the right move would have been signing with a shoe company and being a clothing company exclusively.

Y'all really defend this clown just because he's black:russ:

That fakkit ruined his sons chance at a Nike contract and overpriced his shytty clothing lines for nobody to buy. Even the people on the coli who suck off Lavar don't even buy BBB clothing:mjlol:.

Lonzo Ball would've had a normal ass career if his dad stfu from day 1.
"Can't believe ya'll hating on a strong black man" is a typical deflection move that everyone here uses when someone they support does some fukk shyt, even me from time to time when it comes to King James.

It gets you at least a few daps and partially saves face if the thread is forgotten quickly :pachaha:

I buy $50 Nike shirts/shorts for $5-$10 all the time. So what? If he never made another dime, he made more money than if he hadnt done it. :gucci:

:mjlol: That's now how things work at all. Do you think shyt gets made, shipped, stored, and slanged for free? That's not how it works. He has to pay the kid sitting at that table selling his shyts even.....

When you are buying a cheap ass Nike shirt, it means it wasn't selling and they overestimated the demand. Even Nike takes these losses, the thing is the other 95 percent of their products are fire and sell like hotcakes at premium prices so it doesn't even dent their profits.

If Lavar had to get a bigger storage unit, that means he's either A) overstocked, or B) selling like hotcakes. And judging by that sale in the OP, it's overstocked.

He is trying and doing his best though, so I salute him on that.

they didnt lose..

thats retail one 101

when u doin pop ups...

3rd n 4th quarter sales....hell vendors do it at events..

u come in ..they sellin shyt at regular price and sometimes inflated...

u go back around the last 45mins of whatever event u at...u gone see them nikkas givin 60-80% discounts and its always cash only

9 times out of 10 they are pocketing that money...off the books...


dude in the picture looks unenthused...i know some nikkas including my self....even that clearance sell prices is up....we coulda cleared that whole table of product...

every other hat would get the 5 dollar price..some will get 2

100 bundle...every other piece would be 30 if they wanted t-shirts.. 100 id swap the t-shirt for a sweatshirt..with socks..


when i useta do the pop ups with swishahouse when i was in highschool...

they had booth set up a different events... paul would have his i could catch bopper t's and the house would have their t's ...get them nikkas to sign a case of cds and a case with no signature.. had em sign shirts



15-cds 25 shirts when we start what they want..but we would do 5 a cd and 10 a shirt....n pocket that.... n jus sell the cds that was signed for 15 and 25 for shirts that was signed..



we useta make up our own prices.... towards the end of the car shows or whatever event...

we make up our own bundles


give them their cut....and we got our own

they knew what we was doin....they didnt care long as we didnt comeback with shyt....they had to haul back....

This is great for seasonal/promotional stuff and it actually would be good for BBB. The only problem is they foolishly tried to position themselves as a luxury brand and dumping is a terrible way for a luxury brand to sell merchandise. Not only does it cheapen the brand, it insults the people that paid full price.

LaVar just refuses to plan things out or listen to good advice. As a result, his fans got their wish and got to see him fail doing things his way.

It was a good concept. Just badly executed. Them shoes are trash and I've heard rumblings that they have contributed to a few of Lonzo injuries. I'm all about supporting black business, but I've always felt like he exploited his sons to do it

Wow who could have seen this coming

:unimpressed:

You're just jealous of a strong black man, cac. :troll:

I did want to see all the Ball boys in LA just for fukkery purposes. Maybe they can be gotten at deep discounts during the final year of the Lebron Lakers.
