Lonzo Ball spoke about the “freedom” his shoe deal with his eponymous Big Baller Brand gave him at the Los Angeles Lakers annual Media Day, but the other thing he would (presumably) want is an endorsement deal. Being able to wear any shoes you want is nice, however, sometimes cold, hard cash is better.
Ball may not be getting much of the latter from his shoe deal, at least compared to what other stars earn from their own endorsements. Ball will reportedly earn $445,000 from his signature shoe with Big Baller Brand, which is a lot of money if you’re not a professional basketball player.
