Lonzo Ball, the Chicago Bulls star, has been struggling with knee-related injuries, hampering his ability to perform on the court. He has attributed these injuries to the shoes from his own brand, Big Baller Brand, in a statement to the media.

The Big Baller Brand is owned by Lonzo Ball’s father, LaVar Ball. Lonzo, in an interview on a podcast, revealed that his father strongly encouraged him to wear the brand’s shoes, which led to his debut in them despite his reservations.

Lonzo said, “If you literally have those shoes from those games, they’re exploded, Cause they were my shoe. I had to debut them,” he continued. “We went so far with it. I’m like, ‘Cool, I can get a quarter in, but that’s it. We gotta switch them every quarter.’”

Lavar Ball on his appearance on VLAD TV responded to Lonzo’s claim, stating, “You can get hurt in any shoe you wear, Truth be told, Nike’s track record of getting people hurt is better than mine. Kobe [Bryant] got hurt. [Kevin Durant] got tore up. Anybody who wears shoes, [Stephen] Curry with the Under Armour. Zion [Williamson] tore his shoe up, but you wanna create a narrative that, ‘LaVar, his shoes messed up Lonzo a long time ago’.”

“Wait, Lonzo tore his knee up in Nike’s. He was good in my show. He hurt his ankle in my shoe, but the knee was in Nike’s… Lonzo was playing 100 miles per hour in a 50 miles per hour shoe. Two things can happen, either the shoe gonna give or the body gonna give. They tore that boy’s knees up, going 100 miles an hour. Nike done tore you up,” he added.

It is clear that LaVar Ball may not deny Lonzo’s claim about the injuries caused by the shoes he provided. These injuries have had a negative impact on the star, and the Chicago fanbase eagerly anticipates Lonzo’s return to the court.
