This guy's father is gonna cause him a ton of grief. Luckily the NBA has gotten progressively friendly over the years, so he shouldn't suffer emotionally like he would 20 years ago and daddy was holding his hand. Facing someone like Gary Payton, it would be ugly. Just wait until he struggles.  I look forward to watching him try to stay in front of NBA star point guards.  1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renegade7 Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 73 points from the Wizards backcourt tonight in an elimination game no less. NBA should be on notice now, they both producing at a high level when it matters. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lavar Ball is a polarizing person, and that more than likely did not help him here, but what he is trying to do isn't a bad thing. Those companies obviously do not had to agree to the terms, but what BBB is attempting to do isn't a bad thing.  Its just that Lavar Ball has made himself too polarizing as the media craves his every soundbite and he can't help himself.

TradeTheBeal! Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 I know some folks are pretty high on John Wall after he hit for 42 and went 7-9 for 19 points in the 4th quarter, but...he only had 1 rebound.  That's just weak.  #notmymvp 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there is anything wrong with it in principle. The thing is if its Lonzos decision, it's completely fine, but it seems as if Lavar is forcing his son to do what he deems best.  Its definitely a huge gamble tho, if Lonzo goes on to have a hof career it's a genius idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never seen a series swing back the other way so wildly. Â Still don't believe in the Celtics though. Likely the end of the line for them against Hogwarts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going Commando Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 It's also repugnant that he's explicitly turned his children into brand assets to make money off of them.  He keeps comparing his brand to products like Uber and WhatsApp to suggest his brand has "disruptive" value.  He's a moron.  The reason Uber and WhatsApp were successful is because they used a new technology to provide a service that people love.  All Big Baller Brand does is sell dumb shirts and shoes that nobody wants.  If the brand is about his persona, then all it provides is stupid ass Kardashian style shameless attention whoring that the overwhelmingly male audience that makes up NBA fans are not interested in watching.  If the value of the brand hinges entirely on Lonzo being a famous NBA player, then he's undermining it by antagonizing all of the institutions that could actually help make the kid a star. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been disrespectful towards the Skins for awhile. Really since he first came on the show and mouthed off at Skins training camp. Doesn't even try to hide what is clearly disdain to an abdurd level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â His father is supposed to have his best interests at heart. Â And a relationship with Nike is a business relationship that Lonzo can enter into and exit willingly.
