    Not really a big surprise: An endorsement deal with Nike, Under Armour or Adidas is not in the cards for Lonzo Ball.

    Ball's father, LaVar, confirmed that the three shoe and apparel companies informed him they were not interested in completing a deal with his son. Sources with the three companies told ESPN.com that they indeed were moving on.

    Never in the history of modern-day shoe endorsements have the big companies all stepped away from a potential top pick nearly two months before the NBA draft. But LaVar, who has been representing Lonzo in the deal, has offered something that has no precedent....

    Wilner update. All the USC stars are staying, and people have high expectations for the Trojans.

    Lavar Ball is joke but people are letting him have his way.

    Is there something about society now where we just reward bad behavior? There was a time where a guy like LaVar Ball would have tanked the chances of his sons getting scholarships let alone getting into the NBA.

    When otherwise rational, reasonable people behave bizarrely or inexplicably, or excuse behavior they've always found abhorrent, look for the money.

    You gotta give me an example, and I doubt you can, because Lavar Ball is unprecedented as far as meddling pops are concerned.

    I think he is just the cutting edge, and the latest expression of a trend. We will probably see more like him, although he probably sets the standard.

    I have neices and nephews who attend Chino Hills high school. My nephew is the same age as the youngest Ball. He plays bball but isn't a next level player. My parents went down this past winter to watch him in the sophomore/JV games. By the end of JV game it was SRO in the gym as people were arriving early and jockeying for seats to watch the varsity/LaMelo.

    As a public HS administrator trying to balance a thin budget, I'm sure it helps having a sold out gym a couple nights/week.
