    Dad claimed hes better than Curry, I mean come on. Curry is going to drop 35+ on him in each one of their matchups and Lonzo won't be able to score against their defense.

    I haven't read past the first page of this thread, nor have I followed this saga....nor indeed had I ever heard of the Balls until this whole saga began.

    So can someone break this down for me in a post? What started all of this? Is Lonzo a douche, or is it just his father who's a massive douche?

    All I know is that his dad said something racist or something like that.

    By all accounts, Lonzo keeps his mouth shut, plays hard, and is a good teammate. It's his father, who is a complete douche. To the point where if I were GM, and that if we had a top pick, I would hate to have this asshole around the team, and wouldn't draft Lonzo.

    That being said, he's in their lives, so there are worse things

    I really feel bad for his kids. Lonzo actually seems like a good kid when Ive seen him. Soft spoken, not a loudmouth like his father. Seems respectful and appreciative of where he is at so far.

    Too bad his father has obviously ruled him with a thumb holding back his personality so he(Lavar) can be the loudmouth dictator and get all the attention.

    At this point the best thing Lonzo can do is create separation form his father and go try to be his own man. Question is will Lavar allow that to happen, or will he insist on being by his kids' sides throughout their career, causing issues?

    Can we say, over parenting issues?
    Let the birds leave the nest for Christs sake. Attention whore feeding off his kids success....

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I'm sure LaVar is going to be his kids' agent, too. Probably will insist on deals that aren't possible within the CBA and threaten to find a $100M deal for Lonzo in China.

    The shoe game is no joke. It would be one thing if he came in selling the shoe for $90 or something. But this is ridiculous.

    Nobody buys Currys bootleg UnderArmour shoes for 1/4 of the price, why do these people think anybody would buy these?

    Sometimes fashion does shit we don't understand. Why are people paying thousands of dollars for Yeezy's? I don't know.

    Understood. But Yezzy's fall under the whole "lifestyle" line. Those price way high across the board. Wear em to the clubs or whatever. These are "on court" kicks. UnderArmour is understanding how hard of a game that is to get into. And they are very cheap price wise and STILL are sinking. These fools are coming in at a whole other level. This will fail miserably.

    I think if they're actually hoping to make it a mass-produced on-court shoe... it's not going to happen.

    But if they somehow get into that niche market, like Yeezy's, maybe they'll sell a few? It could take off as some kind of trend bullshit.... like someone famous wearing his shoe.

    These fuckers basically copied the Kobe 11s and thru their logo on it. Thing is The Kobes are one of the most well designed and put together shoe there is. Top quality, comfortable and go from $160-$220 depending on style or if they are a limited release. Who knows what sweat shop thru these together, but they are asking $500 for 'em. Just embarrassing. Should have come in at like $100. SHit, Dame's are like $115 and are very nice!
