LaVar calls BBB co-founder Foster a 'snake,' says 'brand is good'

LaVar Ball insists Big Baller Brand is going strong after severing ties with co-founder Alan Foster.

In an interview with 98.5 KLUC on Monday, the Ball family patriarch said he isn't going to let Foster's actions bring down the company.

"The brand is good," LaVar said. "It's just somebody did something bad to it. And it's like, here's the thing - we had a snake up in the thing, but you gotta understand this, I'm a snake charmer.

"You're a snake charmer, you're gonna get bit, but he can't kill me."

When asked about rumors that Big Baller Brand is "done," LaVar replied, "No, that's what people want to say, (that) the brand is done. They want to say that. There's a reason. They want to tear the Big Baller Brand down."

LaVar's son, Los Angeles Lakers point guard Lonzo Ball, is currently suing Foster for more than $2 million in damages, alleging the latter "conspired to embezzle millions of dollars and then divert those funds for his personal use, including to acquire assets in Ethiopia."
