Big Baller Brand Didn’t Sell Nearly As Many Lonzo Ball Shoes As Initially Reported

[FlightKing]

The key word in the whole thing is brand. Basketball player shoes sell mostly for the brand that people buy into. I don't give a fuck if this dude is black or not, he a snake ass nigga who says stupid shit. I don't support Big Baller Brand because it's built on some fuck shit. Come correct.

what makes Lavar Ball a snake ass nigga?

He a snake ass nigga who throws people under the bus for his own gain. He did it to the HS basketball coaches, the white players at UCLA, he's putting his own sons in hostile situations at UCLA and the NBA, places he could never start at or even appear in. He a fuck nigga that got some bread and connects and is stepping on necks and feet and using his boys just so he can appear a certain way.

evidence of the bolded?

and nah nobody should hold him down cuz he's black

but it seem like mofos are more offended over the price tags of the shoes vs. the actual shoes themselves

like just cuz Nike didn't give him permission, then he shouldn't be able to sell shoes for a top tier price

if it makes him legal money and its ethical in his opinion, then I don't see a problem with it....nobody says u have to buy the shoes

There's various reports and accounts and quotes from the people in question out there. Google it when you get a chance.

Nike would be fools to let a big mouth nobody come in and try to big boy them because he feels entitled. He should've did this from jump instead of trying to take over an industry with his volume shooting ass sons.

There's a lot of fuck shit that can make people legal money and they think is ethical. You can be cool with what you're cool with. That's your prerogative in what you accept from what people say. Me not buying the shoes has nothing to do with me stating my opinion in a forum.

 

[Koltrain]

Niggas in here arguing in circles... he charging $500 for them ugly ass shoes... either buy em or don't. I wouldn't buy em, but the boldness of the move seems to be getting the intended response.

 

[Like Water]

But who cares though. Get out there, sell your shoes (he apparently sold some) the end. Nobody is the "he should act like" police. Nobody gonna act exactly according to your parameters. Doesnt mean you have to like it. Dont buy em if you dont want too.

It matters because part of a business is making sure your product is appealing enough to sell consistently. If you're going around pissing off your potential base that's not really a good way to sustain a business.

But that's not your business to tell him who to market to or how

That's their business so they get to run it how they see fit. If you don't meet the parameters of what he considers a Big Baller then the shoes ain't for you

I ain't buying them shits but I don't have a problem with nothing he doing or how he promotes them. He getting attention and if Lonzo handle his business, the shoes going sell thanks to his mouth

Niggas in here making up any reason, "oh I don't have a problem but..." make your own shit and do it how you want, let him run theirs their way

Niggas talking about Lonzo weak and a average player foh..Lonzo is one of the top 5 prospects of the last 5 years...if that nigga translate his game to the next level, he's going instantly make a team competitive

You see and hear what you wanna see and hear. The nigga ain't nothing we haven't seen is my point. I know you're referring to me with majority of this post, but nowhere did I say Lonzo was an average player. Everything I mentioned has been brought up by people more knowledgeable than me, so your gripe is misdirected.

You niggas that hafta go against the grain on every topic to show that you're somehow "above it all" are oftentimes illogical as fuck.

Lavar is counting his chickens before they hatch with this approach. Since when is being reckless with your mouth and making your son the villain, before he's even had a chance to prove himself, a good business model?

You are right about one thing though: It isn't our right to dictate how someone runs a business that isn't ours. Doesn't mean we can't have an opinion, from the outside looking in. And from the outside, it looks like the father is annoying, delusional and selfish.

How it is annoying

Turn off your tv bro and he goes away

Y'all niggas just be weak and masking hate with criticism

If his father ain't the character he is, these shoes don't get recognition or the national attention

I ain't going against any grain, I'm just not a bitch ass nigga...words don't mean shit...fuck cares what he say

Floyd Mayweather say/do the most ignorant shit but he the biggest boxing attraction last 10 years making 150+ mil for fights

Andre Ward been just as dominant but play the humble role, fraction of the attention. Fraction of the money

That nigga gotta prove his self no matter what, this shit is sports...go big or go the fuck home...these niggas aiming for the top spot

Did you really use Floyd Mayweather as an example to back up your argument? You mean the nigga that's undefeated and has proven himself time and time again? THAT Money Mayweather? Versus an unproven college athlete with a loudmouth pops? Did you really make that comparison without seeing what's wrong with it?

I fuck wit dudes like Mayweather and Conor, cuz they back their shit up. It doesn't annoy me in the least bit. It's entertaining as shit.

And if Lonzo is the player his father wants him to be, his game will do the talking for him.

Please don't use another fugazi argument with me again. That shit was beyond stupid. Smh.

You missed the whole point

I made a direct comparison of two fighters to illustrate a larger point. I then put a bow on em with the next sentence. You not as smart as you think bro. You a sucka foreal but play your role. Argue with yourself bozo

Lol. I understand the correlation just fine. By your logic, the louder you are, the more money you can attract for yourself. But you essentially are comparing the loudness and arrogance of Lavar to Mayweather, as if they're in the same league and have accomplished the same things. Is that not what you're saying? Get attention by any means necessary and make money doing it, right?

Which circles back around to my point: Floyd can afford to talk that shit. He's proven all there is to prove. If Andre Ward up and decides to start wylin to bring more attention to his name, he too has earned the right. Otherwise, you out here lookin like a Troy Ave ass nigga.

I may not be as smart as I think I am, but it's still more than enough to make you look like the fuck nigga you are. Fuck off my shit, nigga.

Can't sell your product if you alienate the consumer.

And don't matter how good you are if your shoe is trash. Word to Steph Curry. His shoes ain't moving like they thought they would because them shit is trash.
