The Big Ball Theory

"Now available at Hills, Ames, Montgomery Ward and Steve & Barry's..."

 

The worst possible thing that could happen to his kid is to actually play in the NBA and spoil the illusion.

 

Jordan has shoes that sell for thousands. But at least LaVar has a good grasp of the market he's trying to conquer.

 

You'd think it would occur to Lonzo that Pops isn't the one who will be catching elbows in the paint 82 times a season and he'd tell the old man to pipe down a minute.

 

It'll be appointment viewing next season when Ball's team plays the Cavs and LeBron James makes it his personal mission for the night to make Lonzo his bitch.

 

Shame that can't be a Christmas game

 

The next kid isn't going to be as good. Alford is going to be in for a rough year with the bitching about PT.

 

Or daddy will be too obsessed with his other meal tickets to care. Might even let the kid grow up, which sounds like kind of a luxury in the Ball household.

 

They don't seem to be flying off the cybershelves:
How many pairs of Lonzo Ball's $495 shoes sold in the first week of availability?

 

Who is manufacturing the shoes? I wonder how many preorderers he needs to make production a reality.

 

Didn't someone say he was a five-star recruit?

 

Rivals and 247 have him as a three-star. He's a borderline Pac-12 caliber prospect on his own.
