Obrison. what guys here do you think have a good body?Comment -
clearly he would trade lives with any of us in a heart beatComment -
I’m sure he has a great time. Brothers probably bankroll all his extracurriculars. He’s the man behind the man, probably gets a ton of fringe pussy, etc... him and Lavar get all the benefits with minimal work. I doubt he loses sleep at this point over not flying to Minnesota in February to play in a meaningless game.Comment -
Feud with President Donald Trump
On November 7, 2017, days before UCLA opened the 2017–18 season in Shanghai, China, Ball's son LiAngelo and teammates Cody Riley and Jalen Hill were arrested for shoplifting from a high-end shopping center near their team hotel in Hangzhou.[36][37] The players were accused of stealing sunglasses from a Louis Vuitton store in the mall.[36] Although LiAngelo faced a fine and three to ten years in prison if convicted, LaVar largely downplayed the situation.[38] Upon an alleged request from U.S. President Donald Trump and his administration, who were on a 12-day visit to Asia at the time, to Chinese president Xi Jinping, the UCLA players were released from custody.[39][40] Trump then tweeted on November 15, "Do you think the three UCLA Basketball Players will say thank you President Trump? They were headed for 10 years in jail!"[41] According to a timeline published by ESPN, Chinese authorities had dropped shoplifting charges against the players on November 7, 2017, five days before Trump got involved.[42]
On November 17, LaVar Ball responded to Trump: "Who? What was he over there for? Don't tell me nothing. Everybody wants to make it seem like he helped me out."[40] Two days later, Trump labeled Ball "very ungrateful" and stated that he "should have left them in jail" in a series of tweets.[43][44] On November 20, Ball featured in a 20-minute interview with Chris Cuomo on CNN, where he continued refusing to thank Trump.[45] In the following days, Trump reasserted his role in releasing the UCLA players, while likening Ball to a "poor man's version of Don King" and calling him an "ungrateful fool."[46] In the midst of the exchange, UCLA suspended LiAngelo and his teammates indefinitely, after their public apology, in which they thanked Trump.[47] The decision led to LiAngelo's withdrawal from the UCLA basketball program on December 4, following LaVar's desires.[48] Following a March 3, 2018 ESPN report that Trump had no involvement in the incident, Ball wrote on Twitter, "Thank you for what again @realDonaldTrump ?"[49] Ball also mentioned that if he was going to thank anyone during that ordeal, it would be towards the Chinese president instead, as well as claimed the President was trying to ride the coattails of the Ball family at that time.[50]
In the aftermath of President Trump's tweet talking about LeBron James and his interview with CNN journalist Don Lemon on August 5, 2018, Ball mentioned to reporters at TMZ that the president is a racist and that "everybody knows that. It's not a secret."[51] He also encouraged his sons to be political in the event it's necessary for them to do so, live their lives to the fullest, be passionate at the sport of basketball, and love everyone that's nice to them. However, on February 25, 2019, when talking about the U.S.A.'s relationship with China, President Trump reaffirmed his stance on the situation with LiAngelo and the two other players, stating he conversed with Xi Jinping about the college students and that LaVar's consultant would have gone nowhere in their conversations.[52] Ball later stated he wouldn't vote for Trump at all in the 2020 Presidential elections.[53] After Trump lost the 2020 United States presidential election LaVar suggested Trump lost the election because of their feud.[54]Comment
