what makes Lavar Ball a snake ass 🤬 ?
He a snake ass 🤬 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 🤬 🤬 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 🤬 🤬 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. -
🤬 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.

It matters because part of a business is making sure your product is appealing enough to sell consistently. If you're going around 🤬 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 🤬 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
🤬 in here making up any reason, "oh I don't have a problem but..." make your own 🤬 and do it how you want, let him run theirs their way
🤬 talking about Lonzo weak and a average player foh..Lonzo is one of the top 5 prospects of the last 5 years...if that 🤬 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 🤬 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 🤬 that hafta go against the grain on every topic to show that you're somehow "above it all" are oftentimes illogical as 🤬 .
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 🤬 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 🤬 ass 🤬 ...words don't mean 🤬 ...🤬 cares what he say
Floyd Mayweather say/do the most ignorant 🤬 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 🤬 gotta prove his self no matter what, this 🤬 is sports...go big or go the 🤬 home...these 🤬 aiming for the top spot
Did you really use Floyd Mayweather as an example to back up your argument? You mean the 🤬 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 🤬 wit dudes like Mayweather and Conor, cuz they back their 🤬 up. It doesn't annoy me in the least bit. It's entertaining as 🤬 .
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 🤬 was beyond stupid. Smh. -

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