The Big Baller Brand website is jammed with $50 T-shirts and $60 hats, the cornerstone of a business that outspoken founder LaVar Ball says is competing with big-name athletic apparel brands.

But the Chino company responsible for screen-printing and embroidering the hats, T-shirts and other high-priced apparel sold by Big Baller Brand claims it hasn’t been paid.

So LaVar buys one of his sons an expensive sports car but does not meet the expenses of his business?

[originalbuckeye]

But if you try to hold LaVar accountable......(wait for it).....YOU ARE RACIST! /s

[Hotlanta Mike]

Why would you do any work for LaVarr Ball? The guy is the most dishonest person from just what you see in his public conduct.

[lodi90]

Maybe this is why LaVar bugged out to Lithuania.

[AndyTheBear]

Brilliant way to maximize margins....just dont pay your supplier! He could undercut the market by loweing his price too! Plan is genius....unless the supplier gets mad for some reason.

Isn’t this the same way that Dem Candidates treat their vendors ?

[KarlInOhio]

I wonder how many of the Dem vendors are doing the work for free but have to present a "bill" so their work isn't officially an illegal campaign cobtribution.

Anyone who does work for a political campaign must with be paid before the service us rendered or expect to not be paid at all.

He’s entitled.

The BBB is also after BBB. They are taking orders but not shipping product.

[Larry Lucido]

Does Ball allow five-finger discounts?

[COBOL2Java]

"Chino? Ha! Good luck, suckers! We outta da country!"

[Lithuanian Host on the Right] "Uh, LaVar? They can still go after you here in Europe"

[Prov1322]

On Monday, the Better Business Bureau warned consumers about patronizing Big Baller Brand, giving it an “F” rating and saying it received numerous complaints about problems with orders. The Better Business Bureau has received 33 complaints about Big Baller Brand since last April and the company didn’t respond to requests to address the issues. The problems included orders not being received, shipments not being made in a timely manner and an inability to get refunds.

Interesting when the BBB actually gives a bad rating. Gee, with this genius father at the helm, who would have thought...?!

[Tea Party Terrorist]

BBB shoes are around $500.

[bagster]

Seems very niggardly of Lavar.

He’s punk

Generally speaking I’m all for the little guy taking on the big guys and succeeding. It’s the American Way. But this guy, I will not be shedding any tears for when he and has circus go up in flames.

There's a term for that behavior.

Lavar, Lonzo,LiAngelo, LeMelo...Where be Blind Lemon Jello?
