LaVar Ball: Why Should I Thank Trump?
LaVar Ball, the father of a UCLA basketball player arrested this month in China for allegedly shoplifting, has hit back at President Trump in an ongoing war of words over Trumps role in securing his sons return. Trump lashed out at Ball over the weekend for being ungrateful in refusing to recognize that he secured the release of LiAngelo Ball and two other players, saying he shouldve left them in jail. The basketball dad hit back Monday night. Why is that on your mind? All this stuff going on and thats on your mind, that a father didnt say thank you? And youre the head of the U.S.? Ball told CNNs Chris Cuomo. Ball again refused to thank Trump, saying he has no way to know whether Trump played a role in the Chinese authorities decision to let the athletes out of jail. If you helped, you shouldnt have to say anything
If I helped somebody, I dont walk around saying, You know I helped you now. Come on now, give me some love, I helped you! Why are we even talking about this with all these political matters going on in the world? he asked.

(47 posts)I think Levar Ball is an obnoxious prick who is no different than Trump. I do that like Trump, but Levar Ball should show some respect. He needs to shut up, what kind of parenting he must be doing, if he was such a great parent then his boy would not go to a foreign country and embarrass black people in America. They should have gotten jail time, then Levar Ball would be asking the President for help.
