nah dude dosen't need those companies he can raise or generate a billion without those fools and create those legendary kicks that he has in his portfolio
Dissapointed in you fam. Seriously. You the last one id expect to be in here on some corporate whore shit. You and I both know Ball cares more about ownership. Niggas love sneakers.
i'm all about independant status but obviously he needed them if he's having meetings with them.. if he can raise his own money and push his vision fine but there's no way i'd expect nike to give a person whose not the greatest person to ever play the game of basketball a billion dollars..there's no way i think a company is gonna give somebody a billion dollars that they not gonna generate half a trillion off of.. that's bizzness there's dream and there's reality..if that nig think they gonna give him a billion than he def dreamingDissapointed in you fam. Seriously. You the last one id expect to be in here on some corporate whore shit. You and I both know Ball cares more about ownership. Niggas love sneakers.
That nigga know he aint gettin a billion. Yall keep pointing to that. When he does make a deal he aint gettin that but he wants better terms, meaning ownership. A billion is the number he threw out there if they want him to sacrifice that. Stop playing dumb.
Plenty of people have offered to buy BGOL from HNIC over the years. He prolly done told em, give me 20 mill, its yours. Knowing damn well they aint gonna give him that, but thats what he wants to sacrifice owning it. Its another way of saying it aint for sale. Lavar obviously feels the same about his boys brand.
Not true. Evan Turner got a signature shoe and clothing line from li-Ning his rookie year. They are competing with other shoe companies and could pay just the same.
you can't tell another man how to spend his own money..so if they don't feel like spending what he ask for they can do so cause it's their money..if he wants ownership go find your own island and built it.. juss like if a stripclub say i don't want you to throw parties here they can say that cause it's their property.. so u kno what i'd do buy some space/property and have my customers and dancers come there and spend..that's ownership.. so once again tell that dude to raise his own money and create his vision and sell it himself..this ain't a topic if he had his own bread but it is cause he don't so now he has to rely on somebody else money to help push his vision..let him kno that the next time he goes into a meeting with the next sneaker company
You right they aint gotta do business wit him. I aint knocking them for that. But if they want to use his boys to market they products he got every right to go after the best deal he can get, even if it aint wit them. If his boys couldnt ball none of them wouldve even entertained sitting down wit him.
it's only about 1 kid so far..none of them other kids can get sneaker contracts due to rules.. lets see where this situation goes now
^^^^^^^
you don't even see it do you? Lol
Yall niggas man
that oughtta let you know what kind of dumb shit you are on.Dissapointed in you fam. Seriously. You the last one id expect to be in here on some corporate whore shit.
who's got the best shoe situations ever in the history of shoes? Bron, MJ... This nigga ain't Bron or MJ, asking for more than them. It's that simple.
If he want a better deal, get somebody who knows how to walk you in there and have that conversation the right way instead of being an asshole getting escorted out of every shoe company in town.
Jesus man, you are really being thick on this one.
This. Cacs always want to profit from our treasures. It is becoming a common occurrence that these cacs are crying rape and/or sexual assault against our promising athletic talent. Mr. Ball better give Lonzo a body camera because they will be coming after him in an effort to humble him. If and when he balls out, he can write his own check.
He has a white mother. He ain't falling for any ole goofy white girl.
I know but that doesn't matter. When they send in their pussy hit squads armed with blonde hair, blue eyes, and accusations he can and will take a hit. I am suggesting that he needs to be extra careful.
This why I dont argue on BGOL anymore. Dudes will argue their point for 7 pages. Yall enjoy that.
I remember being a kid and wanting to be prime minister so I could kill every Indian on the island. Then I remembered I have no interest in governing, just killing. There's no need to run for office for that.
Okay yeah nevermind, just a regular maladjust.
The only people falling for white chicks are fools who believe their hype.
It is not falling for cac chicks. He is a young man and young men are more susceptible to pussy power especially young cats that go to cac schools. Anyone can be setup regardless of innocence. Take a look at Conelly or Zeke from OSU or Lewis from Michigan. These cacs ain't playing fair and they are good at what they do.
I'm singing hymns with my son right now. I understand that I have problems.
Just don't try to get him a billion dollar gospel deal before he drops a mixtape
But he's not standing for anything, some of you all are trying to turn this into this Valiant fight against the corporate machine and it's far from that, it's a Sanford and son esc get rich quick scheme, and it's purely self serving. He put in work and I applaud that, he got his kids on the map and may get them all to the mountaintop (the NBA) but after that your role changes it's never about you, you make sure your kid doesn't get fleeced, but otherwise you fall back. You all act as if he's kids best interest at heart and it's actually his. But that aside business wise, he's building a brand that no one is checking for, he's acting as if he has all the leverage and he has none of it, he's showing pure ignorance, you trying to challenge the status quo with a kid that might be top 10, like I said earlier you could say we will take less on the front end of a deal for later overall profit, more creative design, and more marketing decisions, but no he said a number based on his ego and now has nothing
Bgol and big baller brand is two separate entities you see ones established with a strong brand, the other is out the crib, I promise long before fubu became a collective they weren't up in Macys saying we want a billion dollars for the honor of selling our shit. The baller brand never has to be for sale, but he's not even smart enough to ask for distribution, or shares, or residual income on the back end, which shows his lack of intelligence and vision. It's one thing if your son is projected number one overall, NCAA tournament MVP, rookie of the year, etc then you can push for a more friendly deal, he has no leverage no money and no grassroots support
And I'll end it on this any of you niggas beating the drum loudly for the big baller brand bought his gear yet or plan to ??? Yeah we both know that answer
How many shares of Nike you own? Post your portfolio. Massa gives you niggas sneakers and you give him free promo. Does Nike pay you for all this caping and "massa we sick" talk?
No sane, practicing businesspeople even speak like the shit niggas is in here woofing.
Calling them armchair ceo's does a disservice to ceo's and armchairs.
Music industry niggas that need a jew to co sign them and hold they hand for everything lol.
So we're not even doing complete sentences now huh lol alrighty
Unless Jesus cough it up (no blood) he ain't fucking with god like that.
The Balls may not be the ones to do it but someone will... Lavar hasn't gone about it the right way at all with his loudmouth antics, imo. Someone will have their own brand and sign other players to it. I remember when Converse ran the game...
Shit changes
That shit was odd

Everybody thinks they know how to get rich or how not to get rich.
Yet no one here is that kinda rich.
No one has a fucking game plan but everybody got stones to throw.
Lonzo probably won't have a career on the level of Kobe or Lebron.
Together the don't have Jordan money.
Ain't no game plan.

Don't have to be rich to understand how business works or recognize bad moves.
Jordan, Kobe and Lebron are 3 of the best who ever done it out of 1000s of players that have gone thru the NBA.
Only 1 in thousands has a Billion $$$.
That wasn't business.
You can add baseball and football.
1000s on top of 1000s.
Mike's path to success ain't something you can learn in business school.
You couldn't teach the path to the White House for a half breed with a muslim name.
You couldn't teach the path to the White House for a crazy dude who fires people.
Aint no wrong way to get there if you get.
Aint no right way to get there if only one player has gotten there.
