Background: LiAngelo Ball and two of his UCLA teammates stole sunglasses in China and now they're in big trouble. The latest reports are that the players' punishment will likely be a 20-day house arrest, and there's a good chance they spend those 20 days at the Hyatt Regency Hangzhou, where the team is staying for its season-opener against Georgia Tech. The three players of course will not play in that game.
TNT's crew for its Inside The NBA show features three fun-loving guys: Shaquille O'Neal, Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith. The trio are always joking around, so it was only a matter of time before they started talking about LiAngelo once highlights of the Lakers—and LiAngelo's brother Lonzo—came on.
