The most infamous father in basketball is **t unlike Donald Trump in that he's *****ed the code to fame and relevance in these modern times.*

Our latest example: The unveiling of Lonzo Ball's $500 signature sneaker on Thursday, weeks before the NBA (http://mashable.com/category/nba/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial) draft and months before the young player will appear in an NBA game.

Lonzo's signature shoe — released by his family's Big Baller Brand, **t Nike (http://mashable.com/2016/07/20/air-jordan-xxxi-nike-sneaker-tech/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial) or Adidas (http://mashable.com/2014/06/25/adidas-world-cup/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial) or even Under Armour (http://mashable.com/2016/11/15/new-balance-neo-nazi-trump/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial) — was widely roasted on social media.*

But it's LaVar Ball (http://mashable.com/2017/03/13/lavar-ball-ucla/?utm_campaign=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial&utm_cid=Mash-Prod-RSS-Feedburner-All-Partial) who may yet have the last laugh.*
