There's still the matter of whether or not Ball is actually on the Lakers next season. For now, he is likely focused on continuing his rehabilitation from the grade-3 ankle sprain that ended his season. There has not been an official announcement from Ball or his camp about his plans for the future. It is an official partner of the NBA, so if Ball were to get a tattoo promoting his new shoe company, he could display it proudly during NBA games. Lonzo owns 51 percent of the company, so if he does leave for Nike, doing so would likely be a prerequisite unless Nike were to purchase the company as a whole.Īs far as tattoos go, Ball can rest easy if he does decide to join Nike. The Ball family will reportedly work to distance themselves from Alan Foster, the Big Baller Brand founder who is alleged to have stolen $1.5 million from Ball, and those discussions have reportedly included shuttering Big Baller Brand entirely. If his recent actions are any indication, his ties to that brand will soon be severed entirely. Covering that up is a far more daunting task.īut Ball will no longer need to do so, as the branded tattoo is officially gone. JR Smith, for instance, has a tattoo promoting Supreme that covers his entire lower leg. The tattoo was, fortunately, small enough that he could do so with nothing more than a bandage. The NBA has strict rules on brand promotion, and as Big Baller Brand is not an official partner of the league, he was forced to cover that tattoo during games. This is, ironically, not the first time that Ball has covered up the tattoo. Lonzo's BBB tattoo is no more /fH4pDfsqQO And now, making the rounds on social media originally from The Blast, it has been revealed that Ball has covered up his Big Baller Brand tattoo with a pair of misshapen dice. On Monday, Darren Moore (his manager) posted a video showing him throwing a pair of ZO2 shoes down a trash chute. On Saturday, he posted a cryptic picture indicating that he would be moving on to Nike. The second-year Los Angeles Lakers point guard has dedicated his entire social media presence over the past week to that endeavor. Lonzo Ball really wants the world to know that he is leaving Big Baller Brand.
