The ever boisterous LaVar Ball was given a political platform on Monday night as he appeared on CNN to discuss a growing feud with United States President Donald Trump, which stems from Ball’s son, LiAngelo, and his two UCLA teammates getting arrested while in China for shoplifting.
The trio was detained in the luxurious team hotel for nearly two weeks before returning to the United States. That came on the heels of President Trump’s trip through Asia, during which time he spoke with President Xi Jinping of China about the arrested players.
Trump, as he’s known to do, took to Twitter and wondered if the UCLA teammates would offer their gratitude for the role he played in their release.
