August 31, 20179 yr Interesting move by Big Baller Brand! Big Baller Brand Unveils Signature Shoe for High School Player LaMelo Ball | Nation of Blue
August 31, 20179 yr The last thing this guy wants is for his son to waste his time playing HS basketball, anyway. And for that matter, college basketball (somewhere Steve Alford is secretly praying "please let him lose his amateur status, please let him lose his amateur status"). He could go overseas or - ironically - end up with a show company-sponsored team and do just fine.
August 31, 20179 yr Doesn't matter. The NCAA will not be the only show in town much longer. LaVar authored the blueprint for skirting the system.
August 31, 20179 yr Author Why would having his own shoe cause him to lose his amateur status? You can't market amateur athletes. Can't even mention their names on camp brochures.
September 1, 20179 yr I don't think Lavar Ball wants this son anywhere near collegiate basketball. Doesn't want his mediocrity to hurt the brand. Losing eligibility is probably all a part of the master plan.
September 1, 20179 yr You can't market amateur athletes. Can't even mention their names on camp brochures. Parents can't?

September 1, 20179 yr Are they selling the shoe? $395.00. They are a bargain compared to Lonzo's. I'm thinking about getting 3 pairs.
September 1, 20179 yr You can't market amateur athletes. Can't even mention their names on camp brochures. You can, however, you can't have a Corporate Sponsor logo on the same brochure -- creates an "implied endorsement".
September 1, 20179 yr Here's the reveal video: Love the cherry picking. I'm a big fan of self-awareness.
September 1, 20179 yr Ringer article about the situation I don't think share Sherman's ultimate conclusion of begrudgingly siding with the Ball's but this article makes a bunch of good points.
September 1, 20179 yr Here's the reveal video: Love the cherry picking. I'm a big fan of self-awareness. I do give them credit for that. that's pretty funny.
