At least it's against scrubs.
By Fenderputty Go To PostAt least it's against scrubs.Still makes for five games in six nights. Because the league won't let the teams play next Wednesday after the break.

Ohhh don't get me wrong, it blows for sure. Just trying to find a silver lining for you.
This is how it begins
Really riding in backseat with dude who hit a goddamn dagger over you in the finals last year? Ok

I see that Curry is all about white pride
Why is Jimmy Butler's a barrel of radioactive waste with a rich guy cane?
And they really had nothing at all for Kemba, huh.

By Kibner Go To PostBrilliant.
Wait, Lonzo Ball charges $199 for autographs? That's so scummy, fuck. Actual top tier NBA talent just do it for free all the time.

That’s his father right there. Lonzo will be a 35 year old man still beholden to his fathers demands
By Fenderputty Go To PostThat’s his father right there. Lonzo will be a 35 year old man still beholden to his fathers demandsLavar probably told him to knockup his HS girlfriend so he doesn't lose money in alimony with some rando.

FTFY

Just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should. It's kinda the principle of it, can't be out there always chasing every dollar when most people seeking these autographs are just kids especially when you're most likely gonna make 9 figures in your career.

The principle should be making your fans happy, but BBB clearly doesn't give a fuck about that at any level.
By DY_nasty Go To Postif people gonna pay for it, why not lol
By giririsss Go To PostFTFY
This works. Dude needs to man up and tell his father to stay in his lane.
By DY_nasty Go To Postif the principle is getting paid then stick to it
Sure but it's still classless.

don't know why we gotta pretend that lonzo asking for cash is any different than curry charging thousands for a basketball camp that he might show up at. or any of the other ways that the sports field runs through their fans pockets. if people are willing to pay, the price is set. don't know why it ever makes sense to grill someone for being an open capitalist in a structure where its the norm.
Lonzo might tear his ACL and be fucked and never make another dime from basketball. I don't blame any athlete for trying to hustle as much money as they can while they're still relevant. There's no guarantee he'll have a 10 year career
By reilo Go To PostComparing autographs to camps is silly as hell
Yeah there's backbone and infrastructure that a camp has to supply. As well as marketing etc etc.

Yes it's huge lol. They just bought a 15 million 10k sqft house in chino hills with a fucking guest house that has it's own pool.

But charging for autographs feels like it violates one of the few "free" give backs fans get... for you getting a salary in the first place.
And what happens when he has to go to a team sponsor's event, that requires him to do a signing session? Sponsor aint going to be happy about him trying to take money then. And it would sort of invalidate the price others paid ....
Dunno, seems ... short sighted.
By reilo Go To PostComparing autographs to camps is silly as hellis it? at least you know lonzo will be there to sign shit
"you can just give away an autograph tho" you can give away anything. his name has value so get it while you can
but but but but naw - its a business the moment you treat it like one. and for anyone that's been through the aau circuit, its been a business since high school.

By pilonv1 Go To PostDo I need to bring up Antoine Walker about how quickly money lasts as a pro?walker is too easy
if tim duncan can get run for millions than anyone can
and before people start about lavar, lonzo wouldn't have even been in LA, UCLA, or likely even a top 10 pick without lavar running promos 24/7 lol
Is your only argument "others do it"? Because that's a shit argument because if Curry is skipping out on camps then that's scummy as hell.
Again, just because you can doesn't mean you should. Just calling an asshole an asshole.
