BIG BALLER BRAND INTERNATIONAL!!!!!
How big are the Ball boys in Lithuania? Just take a look.
Prienu Vytautas, the Lithuanian team that signed LiAngelo and LaMelo Ball, has withdrawn from the Baltic Basketball League this season and will instead play in the Big Baller Brand Challenge, a series of five “friendly” games intended to get the brothers extensive playing time.
The team announced it will show each of the games on Facebook.
“When you come out and they change it just for the Balls,” LaVar Ball told ESPN, “you know it’s real.”
“This is a great thing for everybody,” Ball said. “I’m excited for the fact they named something after the Big Baller Brand. Brings exposure to our brand and also gives us quality basketball. People back home get to watch it.”
The Balls’ first game with Prienu Vytautas will still take place Tuesday, but it will be part of the Big Baller Brand Challenge and the opponent will now be Zalgiris 2 — the younger team of Lithuania’s premier program. The top team features former college stars Kevin Pangos (Gonzaga) and Aaron White (Iowa), but Zalgiris 2 is comprised primarily of high school and college-age players.
Say whatever you want about LaVar, but for now, things are working out for BBB.
