Amid all the chaos and the unknown future of Big Baller Brand, the company’s All-American game will still go on as scheduled, as reported by For The Win on Tuesday.
Andrew Joseph of For The Win talked with event publicist Alexis Robinson of Diamond Marketing and Public Relations and revealed the game is still scheduled to be played on March 31 in Las Vegas.
“All the players are confirmed. Their flights are out. The family is here. LaMelo is supposed to tweet something out within the next couple days because — they just don’t want to tweet anything off of (the Big Baller Brand account) until they figure all this legal stuff out with Alan (Foster) obviously having partial ownership. Everything is still intact. Everything is confirmed. LaVar is actually going on local radio here three times tomorrow to talk about it. It’s all happening.”
The game is scheduled to go on despite Big Baller Brand’s future seeming grim. Earlier this week, in the wake of the revelation that company co-founder Alan Foster having allegedly stole money from Lonzo Ball, the Ball family discussed the future of the company and debated folding the company.
While the company is in limbo, Lonzo Ball is distancing himself from it seemingly in any way possible. Ball’s manager Darren Moore shared a video of him throwing out Big Baller Brand shoes while Ball had his Big Baller Brand tattoo covered up.
As for the All-American game, it seems as though the situation is past the point of no return. With flights and hotels booked and families already seemingly in Vegas, canceling the game would only go to waste more money for a company that is clearly in dire straights as is.
The family has stayed behind close doors in light of the news and have made few public comments. With LaMelo slated to play in the game, it could be the first time the family steps back into the public light after the allegations and will likely be the first time LaVar is back in the public eye.
