I still can't believe he couldn't come up with a less generic or corny name than Big Baller Brand.

And here I thought they were going with the slightly more expensive than Starbury route. Lavar probably needs these to sell at these prices to make up for lovely investments, lol.

I feel like Lavar either decided 1) his shoes needed to have the same margin as Nikes, who is able to make their shoes for pennies whereas it would cost him probably a few dollars to make his shoes or 2)is using some internet print shop's default prices who have crazy markups for everything anyway.

I would guess they're not expecting to make any money on the shoes, but write it off as *branding* and try to make their money on $50 t-shirts

It likely won't and feel free to mock the price /look of the shoe. But I will never shoot down people trying to build their own niche or business outside of the status quo. If his 3 kids all end up real good basketball players it changes things amd makes them more viable. But yeah economies of scale are a bitch. Self produced shoes are always gonna be expensive as gently caress. I wont be buying them but I think its kinda cool someone is just saying gently caress it and making their own shoe where they own and profit from every pair sold. Shoes are meh tho and lmao at the overwatch logo.

It would cost him more than a few dollars to make a small run of a shoe where he doesnt have deals amd contracts already like other companies do.

Dexo, I hear what you're saying, but do you think his kids are going to see any money from this? The billion dollar deal revolved around them licensing BBB, probably meaning that money goes straight to him. You'd hope he'd be on the up and up with his own children, but some parents have been known to not be.

And nothing has come up about their financial management. Its possible sure maybe even likely, but who knows what's going on and what their family dynamic is behind the scenes.

EvanTH posted:Just wanna say real quick that so far Lockback and Dejan were WRONG about IT in the playoffs and I was RIGHT The Celtics have PROVED THE HATERS WRONG by barely beating the Bulls after being dominated by them, due to Rajon Rondo and Jimmy Butler injuries and now they're playing the Wizards with every defensive frontcourt player hurt and no bench aside from Kelly Oubre Jr I'm in a Shania Twain state, that don't impress me much. If they beat the Cavs then I'll take back what I said

You're not full of poo poo. Even if you can't find the quote, I'm sure he said it or something like it. He's such a piece of poo poo, greedy father that instead of being happy and supportive of his kids all he's seeing is dollar signs.

Like the young people say, Ball has no clout. You can't sell a hyper premium shoe with an exciting college player who has a goofy face. He's not Kanye and he's not Lebron, and the product is nothing. That's embarrassing

quote:Sources tell ESPN that the Los Angeles Lakers tried to demote Yuju Lee, their director of basketball analytics, but he instead decided to leave the organization altogether. Wednesday was Lee's last day. He worked for the team for four seasons, starting as a consultant during the 2012-13 season. The Lakers did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Lockback posted:He's never had as much exposure. And his groups have never gotten as much funding. Most people here had no idea who that guy was but now he's everywhere. Very successful Basically, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hS1YWtalPY Dexo posted:Lebron's post game "you guys can say whatever about me, but guess what tommorrow I'm gonna wake up and be LeBron James, while you broke bois are gonna go to your normal job and live the same pathetic life" is the most underrated post game/series press conference answer ever. It would've been better if he said it using a PA mic in front of 20,000 fans. Imagine the road team eliminating the home team in the playoffs and getting to roast the fans as they exited the arena. I'd watch that. zoux posted:I know you can't really say for sure because it's LeBron and he could play until 2030, but for how many more years would you guess he remains the best player in basketball? I could see having another 5-6 seasons where he's in the MVP conversation. I doubt he'll win any more MVPs though. As far as being the peak best player that'll end sooner. If he's lucky he'll have a career like Karl Malone and remain dominant for another 7-8 years.
