Lions tight end says he will never buy a pair of Lonzo Ball’s shoes
Big Baller Brand is pretty cool, and let’s face it, I want a pair of the UCLA basketball star’s shoes…. Or maybe not, BUT Eric Ebron the Lions tight end who is an avid shoe collector was asked if he would purchase the Lonzo shoes.
“I would never purchase those shoes,” Ebron said, per Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press. “You could take it with a grain of salt, you could take it however you want to. I’ll never purchase those shoes. And I got every shoe known to man, but not those. Those won’t be in my closet.”
“First of all, I’m not paying $495 for someone that’s unproven,” Ebron added. “I wish him the best. I believe that he’ll be great. I loved his game at UCLA, but I’m not (about) to pay $495 for your shoes when Michael Jordan is $200, $250. That don’t make sense.”
Ebron does have a point, the best to ever play the game sells his shoes at 200 dollars and Lonzo is 2 1/2 times the price….
