There is already a lot of buzz building with regard to what kind of sneaker selection will be featured in NBA 2K18 and that is part of what makes the NBA world fantastic. When coupled with outrage (or delight, in some circumstances) from players and fans about ratings within the game, the release of the game has become a spectacle in itself and, this time around, it might be breaking some news as well.

Yes, that is Lonzo Ball’s likeness and, no, he isn’t wearing Big Baller Brand shoes in the game.
Of course, it has to be noted that Ball’s choice of video game footwear isn’t necessarily indicative of the ultimate decision he will make in the regular season or where his ultimate apparel allegiance will lie. Still, it is sure to cause an uproar that Ball is wearing Nike sneakers in digital form. Plus it’s important to mention that it’s possible the game eventually includes Big Baller Brand kicks, whether it be for the release or in an update down the road.
On the bright side for both Lonzo and LaVar Ball, the Los Angeles Lakers rookie guard is treated pretty well when it comes to his rating in the game. There has been no issue in creating more and more buzz for both the Ball family and Big Baller Brand in general but this might just be some foreshadowing when it comes to Lonzo not rocking his own signature shoe in NBA play.
