"Just imagine how rich Tiger (Woods), Kobe (Bryant), Serena (Williams), (Michael) Jordan and LeBron (James) would have been if they dared to do their own thing," LaVar said. "No one owned their own brand before they turned pro. We do and I have three sons so it's that much more valuable."


He gotta point tho

Not really?  At which point did these guys have the marketing savvy/manufacturing connections/business know-how to do any of this?  Michael Jordan could have made more money by just starting his own brand out of UNC rather than partnering with Phil Knight.....   

...really?

Not to mention the time investment involved.

Yeah he does, and in most cases market disruption is a good thing. But he's the wrong person to be trying to lead this charge.

What he did do though was lay the groundwork for the next guy who isn't an idiot to succeed down this path

Its not easy to do your own thing, you know how many people you gotta hire to make that happen

Building a business from scratch is no joke.  How famous you are doesn't make the slightest difference.

Lavar is crazy to think billion dollar companies will license his brand for his SON that hasnt played for a NBA team yet. If he wants to get payed like that he needs to put his money where his mouth is and take out the business loan to develop his own sneaker.
