Big Baller Brand Released LiAngelo Ball’s Signature Shoe And I Hate That I Like Them

Say what you will about LaVar Ball, but there aren’t too many fathers on the planet whose sons have signature basketball shoes when they haven’t even logged minutes in a college game, never mind a pro contest. I was a solid Varsity player and my dad couldn’t even cop me the Coaches Award. And I never shoplifted shit from a Chinese store. THANKS A LOT DAD.

In any event, the Big Baller Brand label has released a signature shoe for its middle son, LiAngelo, dubbed the G3’s. Although the price for the kicks has yet to be established, it’s reasonable to suggest that the LiAngelo G3’s will cost you much more than the LeBron 15’s, seeing as the ZO2’s go for $495 and the Melo 1’s are set at $395.

Dare I say, I kinda dig ’em? Replace the BBB with a Nike swoosh and then evaluate.

Unlike his two brothers, LiAngelo’s NBA hopes are a long shot as he’s averaging just 13.8 points a game off the bench for Vytautas Prienai–Birštonas of the Lithuanian Basketball League. So LiAngelo Ball making his own signature sneaker feels kind of like Tommy Wiseau making his own movie.

People on the world wide web were not impressed with the kicks, naturally.

What do you guys think: cop or drop?

The anti-drug people gave him a $50 savings bond for his brave contribution to crime-fighting, and upon the bond’s maturity 10 years later, he used it to buy his very first bag of marijuana.
