New Emojis Enable Fans To Support Big Baller Brand

Being a big baller is a mindset, and now Big Baller Brand and SportsManias are bringing that mindset to your keyboards with Big Baller Brand emojis.

Whether wanting to tell someone to “Stay In Yo Lane,” which LaVar Ball infamously said to dismiss Fox Sports’ Kristine Leahy and then turned into a brand trademark, show off the newest BBB shoes and apparel, or commemorate 16-year-old LaMelo Ball’s 92-point game, the Big Baller Brand emojis are one way to do it.

The app features LaVar Ball, who has pushed his family into the spotlight with bold remarks and memorable moments, such as running shirtless into a WWE ring or telling reporters he would beat Michael Jordan in a 1-on-1 game. Lonzo Ball is starting his first season with the Los Angeles Lakers and has promoted the app.

LaMelo Ball has cemented himself as one of the most exciting teenagers to watch on the court, and the BBB emojis will feature the family’s most memorable moments and allow users to share them with their friends.

The middle Ball brother, LiAngelo, who is starting his freshman year on the UCLA basketball team, is not included in the emojis due to NCAA rules.

Since being released, the BBB emojis app have jumped to the second most downloaded app on iTunes and is available for $1.99.
