LaVar Ball fires back at Nike: 'Big Baller Brand's about to be your competition'
Richard Mackson / USA TODAY Sports
LaVar Ball, the outspoken father of potential No. 1 pick Lonzo Ball, doesn't appear to be all that bothered by Nike's global basketball marketing director saying LaVar is the worst thing to happen to basketball in 100 years.
In fact, the Ball family patriarch says it's merely an indication that George Raveling knows Big Baller Brand will soon be Nike's competition. Ball also appeared to make reference to the well-documented falling out between Raveling and legendary former Nike executive Sonny Vaccaro.
