Respect him trying to uproot the ingrained system to give power to the athlete but he's not the one taking the risk his son is. Because his son is giving up the Nike/Adidas/UA endorsement money for BBB to be a success it would have to make more than what Lonzo would of gotten at one of the Big 3.
The reason Nike/Adidas/UA keep so much from their sales compared to the player is they have a team of thousands working on marketing/PR/design/accounting/strategy etc. I hope BBB is a huge success but think Lavars ego will get in the way of it's success.

Agreed, Plus you don't think those big corporate companies will unite and team up to make sure rival athletes of Lonzo progress further by getting them more exposure to make sure this plan fails at the first hurdle? It would not surprise me if Lonzo is ignored by the Lakers who are sponsored by Nike. If that was to lead to him getting picked up by a team like the Hornets or Jazz and he could be out of the league in 2 years for all we know.

For this shoe deal to be a success either Lonzo Ball will have to be Jordonesqe or these shoes will make the player jump like it was made with Flubber.
Flubber- Ref: 1960s Disney movie The Wacky Professor in which White boys wore shoes coated with Flubber that allowed them to jump and sit atop the basketball backboard.

I've already heard enough about and from him, and he's still got at least 1 more kid that is supposed to be pretty good heading to college along with Lonzo. Shut up and let the kids play...

He seems to have been a good father who raised respectful kids that stand behind him even as diarrhea is spewing from his mouth. If yoy look at Lonzo's face it seems to convey, "He's my dad. What do you want me to say." And that's the attitude to have. He is his dad. And je may be an @ssclown but atleast he's been there for his sons, which is more than you can say for the farhers of many a NBA player. Who's a better father. Lebron James' or Lonzo Ball's?

He is like Rex Ryan on steroids with a mix of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest Nicholson in him.
The kids could be set for LIFE if he just accepted a $20 million dollar deal from Nike or Under Armour for Lonzo.
Instead he has this D list shoe he is trying to license. Awful decision making here out of hubris never seen in the parenting world at this level.
He's their agent. The family agent NEVER works out.
I've learned this too from an episode of "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air."
You see, Will thought he was doing cousin Ashley well by being her modeling agent. Thinking that a 10% commission was too much, Will and Carlton lost out on her deal entirely by trying to re-negotiate her contract with no professional experience.
Ashley was very upset to say the least, and only got her modeling job back after she, Will and Carlton walked on the catwalk for a fashion show as the agency were short of male models.
This performance did not please Uncle Phil, as he was going to run for Judicial Office and was at the fashion show having dinner with a the Judge whom he would succeed.
Aunt Viv was unaware that Uncle Phil was going to make this political career decision official, and they separated because they did not discuss it and he was putting his career and politics ahead of her and the family.
All in all, don't let a family member be an agent because it could cost you your job and your parents could potentially divorce.
This episode was on last night and I needed some time to kill before 5pm so those who read got the synopsis.

What will happen is Lavar will use all of Lonzo's contract $$ to try and expand BBB and will fail. He does not have the expertise & platform of a big show company, which took them year and years to build. It's more that creating a good looking show. Its all about advertising and marketing it.

How can anyone root for this kid. His father is making everyone hate him. The father is a POS. He said he wanted 2 Billion dollars just to talk for a shoe deal. He says his son is better than Curry and even Jordan. What an idiot. Putting pressure on his son like that.

If we could all just watch 'The Fresh Prince' the world would be a better place...............
Wil wore his school jacket inside out.
If we could only turn LaVars' skull inside out, he'd be more likable.....inho
Hawk, whenever I have a serious life issue that could have serious ramifications, I always draw a lesson that could be learned from an episode of the "Fresh Price" or "saved By the Bell."
I think to myself, what would Will or AC Slater do? Makes life a lot easier!
