If you’re a big baller fan of Big Baller Brand, you needed to get there early because much to LaVar Ball‘s hopes – the line for BBBs pop-up shop was incredibly long. NBA Writer and BBB fanboy, Chris Palmer was on scene with videos of the crowd and reporting that three to four thousand fans were expected to show up at the Big Baller Brand NYC pop-up shop.

Arash Markazi, Sr. Writer at ESPN was also on scene to show how long the line to get in the shop was getting. As much as I talk shit about BBB and the Ball family’s shenanigans, this line is pretty legit. Not iPhone line legit but maybe 50-70% as long as Snapchat Spectacles line legit.

More importantly, there was one highlight from the Big Baller Brand YC pop-up that should go down in history. One video that is a glimpse into the cultural phenomenon that is the Ball family. A video that belongs in a time capsule so future generations and aliens can understand what life was like in 2017. A video of a New York City battle that’s as old as the city itself: NYC Sidewalk Walkers vs A Pile Of Dog Shit.
So a dog just pooped in front of the Big Baller Brand pop-up shop in New York. (Insert your own joke here.) Now the highlight for everyone in line is seeing who will step in it. Welcome to 2017 in a nutshell. pic.twitter.com/lhCovjX3XK

If that doesn’t have you on the edge of your seat, you need to check your pulse. This shows the incredibly amusing combination of bored crowds and the entertainment of a stranger’s minor misfortune.
That was my favorite highlight from the BBB pop-up but a close second is LaVar Ball, back on his bullshit as always and still calling out media members.

My favorite part of this, and every, Lavar Ball video is an quiet and chill Lonzo Ball just signing autographs and probably thinking “shit, here he goes again” about his dad’s rant for the camera.
Long story short, I’ll be casting my vote for the dog that shit in the BBB NYC Pop-Up Shop line to win NBA Rookie Of The Year.
