Ball claims that Foster took money from BBB and transferred it to his personal account. These allegations began a couple of weeks ago, and led to Lonzo cutting ties with foster, and just this week, the lawsuit followed.
Following the said controversy, there were speculations that the Big Baller Brand will soon br shut down, but LaVar, the Ball family patriarch, said that's not going to happen.
However, it is most likely that Lonzo, the oldest of the three Ball brothers, will most likely ink a deal with one of the more prominent shoe brands before the start of next season, and Nike is reportedly the front-runner to sign him.
The Lakers management has questioned the quality of Big Baller Brand's shoes in the past, especially since Lonzo has suffered several injuries during his first two years in the league, particularly in his ankles and knees. However, the sophomore guard denied that BBB had anything to do with those injuries, especially since he also wears Nikes.
The extent of Ball cutting ties with BBB remains to be seen, but if he does end up joining another shoe brand next season, LaVar will most likely make LiAngelo and LaMelo as the face of the family's shoe manufacturing business.
