Yesterday afternoon Lonzo Ball unveiled his first ever Big Baller Brand signature shoe, the ZO2 Prime which will retail for a cool $495.

The low-top kicks look a hell of a lot like the Nike Kobe 11, which plenty of people pointed out once the ZO2s were unveiled, but at least the logo was unique, right? 

Not according to Ohio State wide receiver coach Zach Smith, who is accusing LaVar Ball of stealing his "Zone 6" logo.

"Zone 6" is the nickname Coach Smith has been using for his wide receivers for a few years and the logo, shown below, bears a striking resemblance to the one seen on the $495 ZO2 Prime and the $220 ZO2 Slide.

Check out both logos, as well as Coach Smith's comments about Big Baller Brand's ZO2 Prime, below.
