‘Stay in Yo Lane’: LaVar Ball sells T-shirt with his controversial words on Big Baller Brand website
- Share via
Who knows when exactly the lightbulb moment occurred for LaVar Ball.
Was it last week, when he told Fox Sports reporter Kristine Leahy to “stay in your lane,” a comment that was taken by some to be disrespectful and possibly sexist?
Or was it the next night when Golden State Warriors star Kevin Durant jokingly used the phrase toward a reporter?
Regardless of when it happened, Ball realized at some point that his controversial words might actually represent a moneymaking opportunity.
And we all know the father of former UCLA star Lonzo Ball seems unable to pass up a moneymaking opportunity.
So look what is now for sale on the Big Baller Brand website, the same one that sells the $495 Lonzo Ball signature shoe:
“By popular demand, now you can give everyone some smart words to live by, without opening your mouth,” the caption for the Big Baller Brand’s $50 “Stay In Yo Lane” T-shirt reads.
There’s also a $60 tank top marketed toward women:
While arguing with Ball last week on “The Herd With Colin Cowherd” show, Leahy pointed out that she and other women wouldn’t want to wear a shirt with the words “Big Baller” on it.
None of the shirts inspired by that conversation have those words on it — just the “BBB” logo … and the new catch phrase Ball originally used to put down a woman.
