Make no mistake, the UCLA basketball team could have used LiAngelo Ball’s shooting prowess and ability to play uptempo ball. Unfortunately, Bruin fans only got to see him play in UCLA’s exhibition game. That is because he was suspended indefinitely for his involvement in the shoplifting scandal during UCLA’s goodwill tour surrounding the Pac-12 China Game and the result was his father, LaVar Ball, pulling him from the program.

To that, we say “Thank you, LaVar.”
Honestly, it was the best thing Ball could have done for the Bruins.
