With the 2018-19 NBA season coming to a close, Lonzo Ball recently cut ties with Big Baller Brand co-founder Alan Foster over an alleged $1.5 million missing from his funds.
Since Ball has hinted at signing with Nike on social media, he and his family reportedly have had discussions about potentially ‘folding’ Big Baller Brand.
As the 21-year-old takes control of his future in his second season with the Los Angeles Lakers, he has a major supporter in LeBron James.
When asked about Ball potentially joining the Nike family, James ultimately focused on what this decision means for his teammate’s career moving forward instead, according to Tania Ganguli of Los Angeles Times:
“I love the fact that he’s taking control of his [stuff],” James said.
