Looks like Lonzo Ball cut ties with Big Baller Brand co-founder Alan Foster over the weekend after it was revealed that Foster allegedly stole $1.5 million from the Lakers’ point guard.
Read on to get the tea spilling on Lonzo Ball leaving BBB and “Moving On To Bigger And Better” Nike…
CelebNSports247.com reports that Lonzo Ball posted a photo on Instagram containing Nike’s “It’s only a crazy dream until you do it” tagline, along with the caption “Moving on to bigger and better #MyOwnMan.”
The subliminal hint was enough to get everyone talking, which led to rumors that LaVar Ball‘s first-born son Lonzo Ball is ready to dump BBB.
Ball’s teammate and Nike lifer, LeBron James, spoke with The Los Angeles Times’ Tania Ganguli about the recent developments regarding Big Baller Brand, as well as the Nike rumors.
LeBron said that he would welcome Zo aboard Team Nike:
I love the fact that he’s taking control of his s–t. I mean, he’s, that’s what’s really, really dope to me. Once I saw that story, I just seen a kid turning into a man. ‘This is my career and I’m taking this. I done had enough with—whatever. I done had enough. Whatever. If I’m not going to be successful, I’m not going to be successful on my terms.’ I saw a lot of that. We’ll see.
King James added:
Whatever the kid decides to do, whatever brand he comes with next—if it’s with Nike, obviously we would welcome him. I would definitely welcome him. I love the kid regardless of what shoes he had on. But we shall see.
Here is what we’ve learned from ESPN who reports that Lonzo owns 51% of Big Baller Brand and his father owns 16.4%, while his mother and Foster each own 16.3%.
Bottom line, Lonzo Ball can do what he wants since he is in control of the BBB. However, it’s unclear what will happen with Big Baller Brand co-founder Alan Foster stake now that his connection to the brand has been severed.
To help confirm Lonzo is heading to NIKE, his manager just shared a video of him getting rid of his BBB sneakers:
