    I could see them being able to land other NBA players with this mentality if they are able to afford to sign them to reasonable contracts. Imagine getting an endorsement deal and being able to wear whatever shoes you want, adidas, Nike, UA, whatever. Maybe I'm understimating the impact of players wearing signature shoes on court during a game, but the initial release and branding of signature shoes has got to be the biggest selling point.

    You post this in it and it bumps it back to the top.
    My #1 complaint about this forum is that we have so many different threads all on the same topic.

    I'd like to see every single thread having anything to do with this guy, his family, and their business interests combined in one single thread labeled:

    OT: Lavar Ball is a dirty stinking piss and purple Laker

    K?

    Since he is a Laker, and therefore inherently disgusting, I believe he should be referred to as Larva Ball.

    I don't buy it personally. The shoes sucked so Lonzo wanted to wear shoes that are comfortable. Lavar is justifying the decision so as to not hurt the brand.

    I thought the whole idea of endorsing shoes meant you wore them while playing?

    I was hoping it was temporary, lol.

    Is there a free site that's worth using?
