LaVar Ball and United States President Donald Trump have been engaging in the war of words on and off for the last week, beginning when Ball neglected to thank Trump for whatever aid he may have offered in securing the freedom of his son, LiAngelo Ball, and his two UCLA teammates from China when the three were set to face shoplifting charges.
Upon President Trump catching word of Ball’s viewpoint, he responded on Twitter by saying he should have left the UCLA players in jail until another visit to China. Like all great heavyweight fights, this one was going to go another round, with Ball appearing for an interview on CNN.
