    You know, Kevin Love went with a company called 360 and it failed miserably. He actually STOPPED wearing the damn shoes and switched back to NIKE WHILE he was still under contract with them. And all these guys are going with this crap Li-Ning, because they promise to create shoes for these players and they can put their names on em. NOT A GOD DAMN KID ANYWHERE would be caught wearing Li-Ning shoes. And Under Armor needs to stick to making underwear and leave the shoes to the experts. ll this crap about them taking over the shoe industry was a joke from day one. This guy Ball will realize how much money his kids will be losing by NOT wearing one of the Big Two's shoes.

    Sad thing is the guy probably won't realize anything....I feel sorry for his kids..on a side note though...I don't think you realize how many Asian kids buy shoes overseas...it's a big market..Stephon Marbury is making a fortune over there. The big two here are kind of pricing themselves out of the market for most kids..when the kids grow in high school you can get stuck buying a pair of Nike's and before the season is over you have to buy bigger one's...that's a lot of scratch for most working folks in the states. I think it sucks that kids think they have to wear Nike or Adidas sports shoes at the prices they charge.

    If the media ignores him and his dad, we can too.

    Sorry I meant to tag it OT. Also I'm archiving this post for when we take a flyer on him with the 26.

    I don't think so. It's NBA related. I can tell you, I will watch every summer league and regular season game this kids plays in the next year, just rooting for him to either step up and crush in the league or sink to the bottom. Very intrigued by this story line.

    My prediction for this kid is Adam Morrison ....he makes Will Barton look like a body builder...I think his legacy will be as a great college player..Nurk would snap him in half without trying in the post..he was always getting knocked down by 6 foot 9 post players in college...in the NBA his game will look very, very different would be my prediction.

    I could see him having a Livingston type of career. But, will be ever take a back seat like Sean did?

    Livingston can defend.

    Ball has wonderful ball-handling and passing skills, but his defense is non-existent and his shooting is a concern for scouts. If he can't defend or shoot, it's going to be difficult for him in the NBA.

    So his ceiling is a skinny, short, Evan Turner, without the defense.

    Sounds about right.

    EVERY NBA player see's or has heard of the fiasco his dad has created and will want the pleasure of shutting him down every time he steps on the court. He is reportedly skipping the combine. Any guesses why? Haha, i wouldn't want my son going up against all the other draft picks after i spent all this time telling everyone that he was going to be the next Jordan/Curry.

    Not uncommon for top prospects to skip the combine, but for Lonzo I can't help but feel like it will affect him differently than it will Fultz.

    Going to be very interesting to see if Lonzo Ball slips on draft day, or if there's a team out there who has fully bought into the hype and he ends up going first & traded.
