It doesn’t look like Nike is going to give Lonzo Ball that billion dollar contract his father wanted.
According to Michael Smith of the Sports Business Journal, Nike executive George Raveling ripped LaVar Ball while speaking at the CAA World Congress of Sports.
Wow, veteran Nike exec George Raveling on LaVar Ball: “The worst thing to happen to basketball in the last hundred years.” #sbjwcs

If Lonzo Ball is as good as many people think he is then execs like Raveling will have to pay him whatever he wants and deal with people like LaVar because that’s just part of the business.
