<p>The NBA’s Summer League is currently underway as the up and coming rookies show off their skills and how they’re adapting to the NBA performance level.</p>
<p>On Wednesday Lakers rookie, Lonzo Ball lit up social media after he put on one hell of a show. However, it wasn’t only his performance that gained attention. Everyone couldn’t help to mention that he balled out in a pair of Nike’s opposed to his family’s Big Baller Brand sneakers.</p>
<p>One fan tweeted, “Nike really does make a difference in the way you hoop! Ask Lonzo Ball.” Even LeBron James made mention of it via his Instagram using the Nike slogan, “Just. Do. It!”</p>
<p>Lonzo responded to everyone when he spoke with TNT’s <em><a href="https://twitter.com/daldridgetnt/status/885373704271679488">David Aldridge.</a></em> He said, &#8220;When you&#8217;re a big baller, you can wear whatever you want.”</p>
<p>According to <em><a href="http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2721422-lavar-ball-says-son-lonzo-isnt-in-nike-contract-talks-after-wearing-its-shoes">Bleacher Report</a></em>, Lonzo wore his own shoe in two previous games, so when it came to his recent switch up he said on Sports Center, &#8220;At BBB, you can play in what you want. I already played in both of my shoes, might as well get the &#8216;Mamba Mentality&#8217; going. Put &#8217;em on, and it worked out tonight.&#8221;</p>
<p>ESPN&#8217;s Darren Rovell spoke with LaVar Ball where he said, &#8220;Lonzo is not forced to wear any brand and can play in any shoe he wants as long as it&#8217;s OK with the NBA. This is what being independent is all about.&#8221;</p>
