    lavar ball steals logo

    This loud mouth does not stop.They only sold little under 300 pair of shoes the first day. I did not see people waiting in line for the BBB shoes at any stores what a weak launch for a shoe.This guy knows nothing about business. According to CBS SPORTS lavar Ball stole the BBB logo from the Ohio State Wide Receivers coach. Looking for a lawsuit to follow. This guy will never even get anywhere near founder of NIKE Phil Knights net worth. It wouldn't be so bad if he keep his mouth shut and sold shoes behind the scenes.

    Yes but supposedly they've spent millions on advertising so they 100k+ in a day doesnt matter.

    I thought it was funny because I'm an OSU fan and I had no idea about the logo.




    you can bet lebron has gone to bed at night wishing he did what Ball is doing now. The amount of money Lebron left on the table by not being as creative as the Ball's is well over a billion; billions. He would have made less in the beginning but a hell of a lot more in the end.

    Of course, it's very risky. You sign a shoe deal, it's guaranteed money so can't blame someone for taking the cash. But, point is you know lebron is thinking about it now. If he could completely own his Name instead of nike...


    none of this means Ball will succeed but don't think anyone had any real doubts about lebron.

    Dude did u even read the post I said the BBB Brand is facing a potential lawsuit not to mention what happens when The Better Business Bureau gets wind of the fact hes using BBB as his logo as well. $150k is such a joke. lebron James sold about $340,000,000 million of Nike shoes in about a year in 2014. Not even close. Truth be known Ball better keep his money and bank it or else go the route so many other superstar athletes go broke. Case in point watch the 30 for 30 documentary Broke and see how they live. Im not impressed with Ball.

    I think he is referring the millions in free advertising they estimated because of all the sports networks talking about it non stop. Don't recall any articles about actual advertising put into the campaign.

    And 150k is pennies to even the bottom offer a shoe company would of given Lonzo if his dad wasnt such a pos. But I guess since this is most likely all staying in pops pocket. Its might be worthwhile to him but worthless to a future lottery pick.
