Things have changed a lot since then though. Nike/Jordan brand have been entrenched for a good while now and to beat them is going to take sooo much. Then you have to worry about the PR nightmare that comes with the kids, their father, who is always one slip away from saying something that can’t be walked back. What…

Jordans are a thing, but they were not a thing that Michael Jordan or his family created and asked Nike to sell. They were a thing Nike created and asked Jordan to wear. Definitely not the same thing.
Jordans are a Nike product line, like Tiger Wood’s line or Roger Federer’s. They’re essentially athlete endorsements packaged in a different way. Ball wants to license BBB to a company which an entirely different business arrangement.
If Steph Curry can singlehandedly raise Under Armour’s fortunes, why can’t Lonzo Ball do that with a Chinese shoe company, or a company that doesn’t yet exist?
I suspect their refusal of his demands has less to do with the silliness of licensing “Big Baller Brand” and more that he appears to be demanding significantly more than they would pay Lonzo by himself to bring in the other two kids as a package deal, even though, as you mentioned, they don’t even currently project as…
This child-pageant mom coverage is really unecessary.
All I can think to myself is how incredibly excited Lonzo would be to sign a shoe deal with Nike or Adidas. That’s every young basketball player’s dream.
I’m going to go ahead and admit that I had no idea until I read this article! I am very glad to know it though.
ESPN only airs about 4 hours of live sports per day, so that means they are missing out on your eyeballs the other 20 hours while they are socially commenting.
To be fair, before you can watch your favorite sports team on television, ESPN requires you to listen to them discuss their social opinions for 45 minutes first.
Seriously, the book in itself is pretty good source material for an accurate movie. I don’t know why it had to be turned into a shoot em up action film. The book was meant to explore the concept of total war on different populations, which is quite an interesting concept, and would actually be interesting in a movie…
Why can’t we just have a faux documentary based on the book?
Exactly. When Tom Petty sued Sam Smith it wasn’t because people were getting “Won’t Back Down” and “Stay With Me” confused, it was because if you looked at the sheet music, they’d look nearly identical.
No, he’s not. There is a clear correlation of notes between the Vanilla Ice track and “Under Pressure” - if it isn’t a looped sample to begin with. The argument here is that the actual notes of “Blurred Lines” don’t match up with “Got to Give It Up” - versus something like George Harrison’s “My Sweet Lord” and The…
The Indiana policy is about sexual violence
Mixon didn’t commit domestic violence or sexual assault so why is he in the headline? This article is nothing but SJW clickbait. It says NOTHING.
No it wasn’t. The topic of the article had nothing to do with Joe Mixon and she only used his name to get clicks.
Diana, I usually like your writing but that was a lot of words to say a whole lot of nothing.
She’s white. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
