RE: Is Lavar Ball A Rare Marketing Genius?

in #basketball8 years ago

Yes he is i agree bcz He knows exactly what he wants, He’s playing the odds.He created a brand that’s already stuck in people’s heads.He’s not interested in small potatoes.
“If UCLA can exploit my son, why can’t I? He will be the first player ever drafted that has his own apparel brand.” -LaVar Ball

Did you hear he wants to start his own league for top high school talent to go to instead of going to the NCAA? It is risky to attempt it but basically they are saying they would pay the players like $50K-100K / year. But the thinking is that instead of the players trying to go to school for a year or two just to play ball they could actually get paid to play ball those first years out.

It would be rough the first year and I almost think they would have to have a couple traveling teams and they would really live off the college pre-season and hope they have the talent to destroy D1 teams and then play games all over the world and rely on highlights to get the guys into the G league and get them drafted / signed....etc.

yah i know about this i agree with you it would be rough, they have enough talent to destroy D1 teams i think thats amazing if he starts his own league to find out real cream from high schools .
