After news broke earlier today that Nike, adidas and Under Armour were passing on a deal with Lonzo Ball<\/a>, much of the blame was immediately pointed towards his father, LaVar Ball<\/strong>. His brash persona in the media has made him difficult to deal with. Not to mention his outlandish comments about being able to beat Michael Jordan in a game of one-on-one in his prime.<\/p>\n

Well, Saucony Originals<\/strong> is putting all the nonsense to the side and offering LaVar’s son Lonzo a shoe deal. But there’s a catch: LaVar has to put his ball skills to the test. In a playful, troll worthy tweet, Saucony<\/a> promised to give Lonzo a basketball shoe if LaVar could beat their VP of Finance in a game of one-on-one.<\/p>\n

For what it’s worth, the shoe in question doesn’t look half bad. Could Lonzo rock these? Take a look for yourself below and share your thoughts.<\/p>\n

@BarstoolBigCat<\/a> If Lavar can beat our VP of Finance in 1 on 1 he’s got a deal, dudes an ankle breaker. #HangtimeHixBBB<\/a> ? pic.twitter.com\/5AwSFBHB7n<\/a><\/p>\n
