When the iPhone came out I was able to start watching porn on my phone. What can those kicks do for me?
By Kabro Go To Postthem overpriced pricepoint worked for Apple.Except that Ball is trying to sell a Compaq at the price of a MacPro when the competition is selling MacPros at the price of an IBM laptop.

So what you're saying is you gotta be a multimillionaire with several concussions to buy these?
By reilo Go To PostSo what you're saying is you gotta be a multimillionaire with several concussions to buy these?A rapper who goes by Earl and hasn't released an album in quite a while bought a pair.
Why would anyone buy these? WHY? If I wasn't in the tank this year I would barely even know who Lonzo is.
By RobNBanks Go To PostRich people need to show off their pointless shit so that's not too surprising.
I get rich people frivolous expenditures. Buy those Gucci slippers. They're cheaper and more people will no what they fuck the brand is.
Gucci is old news. How many people you know can say they have ZO2s? Doesn't matter that no one wants them, what matters is that not many people can say they have them
Like I said in the off season thread I was thinking about buying a bbb t shirt to wear ironically but them shits are 50$!
By masud Go To PostLike I said in the off season thread I was thinking about buying a bbb t shirt to wear ironically but them shits are 50$!
It probably shrinks like a mother fucker and need to be hang dried
you can get a supreme shirt for like 50+USD, wear it, and sell it back to some other hype beast for your money back and more cuz the sucker gonna think it's vintage.
I ain't paying 50 USD for some Gildan shit. But for Supreme or Garcons or some other brand where some dude probably buy it off me later? yeah I'd drop 50 USD on a t-shirt.

What's wrong with this man, please? Does he suffer from a disease of some sort.
the more i think about this
i aint mad at him
charge a dumb amount of money for the shoe or whatever, but at bare minimum his son got his own line, that he apparently created and designed. lavar doing too much but -- i can see what he's trying to do

Let's see what he sells when Lonzo is putting up MCW numbers his rookie year.
And I don't mean rookie year MCW, either.

i don't think he really cares how it sells tbh (at least not right now), and thats why he set the prices he did
the point is his son has and 'owns' his own stuff point blank
By Francis Go To Postyeh he suffers from a severe condition called ballerism.
What's wrong with this man, please? Does he suffer from a disease of some sort.
The ballin gap in his mind to reality is a chasm.
And his D-Lo Browning shows his disconnect from what he likely perceives as "hip". Bet he calls people clowning on his brand and sons jive turkeys.

This is what I'm thinking. Even if he has an ok year, but say Fultz gets ROTY, I think it's bad. The middle Bro looks less like he's a thing than Lonzo and his younger brother is years out.
I think his dad building a name brand is rad. His dad says lots of stupid shit though and he went all in with that massive price point. It fits his personality though.
Like why not sell at $125 a shoe and build a base up and cash in as your sons take off. I don't know ... wish them the best of luck. It's a good concept I think more people should follow
Lavar putting all the haters on notice, he will inflict pain on those who have hurt him in the past.

By reilo Go To PostY'all think we can make a SLAENT basketball shoe for $149 and sell more pairs of it than the BBB Lonzo?i'd buy one so we're already up 1.

not surprised by that. but this is astounding
"Darren Rovell said on The Dan Le Betard Show that the social traction he got was worth $50 million in advertising"

Sure, his father's behavior is worth it now for the exposure, but let's see when he's drafted and boo'd out of every arena in the country. That's going to affect him, if not on the court, then definitely off it.
This isn't wrestling where playing the heel makes you have an appeal with an opportunity to turn face. He's genuinely unlikable. And I know nothing about him other than he's that guy's son. There's nothing to root for and I hope they both fail.

Whatever Lebron did coming into the league by having his people micro-manage every part of persona/carefully curated PR, Lavar Ball is doing the exact opposite for his kids lol.
Dude walked into to the ballislife all American game and kids basically mobbed him for pictures and dap
There's levels to lavar
Dude might be a new age genius tbh

if his son doesnt avg a triple double in his rookie year after all the shit he's talking it wont pay off tho
By Smokey Go To PostDude walked into to the ballislife all American game and kids basically mobbed him for pictures and dapThat's because kids are fucking stupid. But kids don't have money to spend.

edit: wait, Larvar is the father, right? How does that help their situation? He's overshadowed what should be the product. But I suppose that's exactly what he wants at this point. He can only ride so far on his kid's talent.
Best thing that happened to Simmons was probably getting hurt. Everyone was questioning him coming in to the league after stories leaked how he was acting at LSU. Now Lonzo comes in to the fray and gets all the heat and Simmons can still try for a ROY which will probably go to Fultz.

Ohhh snap. Totally forget he's gonna battle it out with Simmons for ROTY too.
This is probably as unhealthy a family dynamic as the Kardashians..... which reminds me what happens if one of Lavar Ball's sons start dating one of the Kardashian daughters? Like I don't do reality TV, but I feel like that type of fuckery would justify the whole genre
LaVar Ball says his son Lonzo Ball is doing something Michael Jordan could never do: sell shoes for $495.
During a panel discussion on Fox Sports 1's "Undisputed" about the new $495 ZO2s that debuted last week under the Big Baller Brand, co-host Shannon Sharpe advised LaVar Ball that "Michael Jordan couldn't command [$495] for shoes."
"Because he ain't Lonzo Ball, that's why," LaVar Ball said. "Did he have his own brand coming in? It's a new era called the Ball era."
