When asked about his thoughts on President Trump's help in releasing his shoplifting son from jail, LaVar Ball didn't have much to say.
His son, UCLA basketball player, LiAngelo Ball, and the student's fellow teammates, Jalen Hill and Cody Riley, returned to the United States this week after they were detained in China for days following a high-end store heist.
LaVar told ESPN, 'Who?', after the President's name was mentioned for his meeting in handling the matter with Chinese President, Xi Jinping.
The father added: 'What was he over there for? Don't tell me nothing. Everybody wants to make it seem like he helped me out.'
The students were accused of stealing sunglasses from a Louis Vuitton outlet near the hotel the team was staying in. The trio were arrested last Tuesday.
The media personality said he was 'happy with how things were handled' as he dismissed his son's alleged crime and called it 'not a big deal.'
LaVar told the sports station: 'They try to make a big deal out of nothing sometimes. I'm from L.A. I've seen a lot worse things happen than a guy taking some glasses.
'My son has built up enough character that one bad decision doesn't define him. Now, if you can go back and say when he was 12 years old (and) he was shoplifting, stealing cars and going wild, then that's a different thing.'
Prior to his dismissal of Trump's role in the student's release, the President took to Twitter to address the matter.
He took credit by saying: 'Do you think the three UCLA Basketball Players will say thank you President Trump?' he tweeted. 'They were headed for 10 years in jail!'

However, the three players thanked him for intervening during a press conference.
The Bruins were preparing to open the season against Georgia Tech in Shanghai at the time the three players were reportedly interrogated and arrested.
All three could could have faced between three and 10 years in prison, Chinese lawyers also confirmed to Yahoo Sports.
'I would say they could be in quite a bit of trouble if they have solid proof that they shoplifted,' William Nee, a Hong Kong-based researcher of the Chinese court system for Amnesty International, told the website at the time.

So Dad thinks it is no big deal that his adult son was caught stealing. Speaks volumes about the "character" of Dad and son. What else have they stolen during the course of their lives?

As soon as they're back on US soil the Trump bashing begins. Big surprise.

If you watch the NBA at all, you know who LaVar Ball is. Guy is essentially the league’s equivalent of Finch...he is a delusional buffoon who makes a complete fool of himself every time he opens his mouth. After touting his son to be the second coming, Lonzo is having one of the worst rookie seasons of all time by several measures.

Meanwhile, his other dumb fuck son could have been stuck in some God-foresaken Chinese labor camp doing hard time for the foreseeable future had Trump not intervened. As it was pointed out, the players thanked Trump. Gee, I wonder why the media isn’t covering that...

Stealing is "no big deal" and What did Trump do?

That's the dad speaking. What a wonderful role model.

Immoral and ignorant and ungrateful.

Truth hurts, but this is the stereotype of ghetto blacks to a T. And liberals wonder where racism comes from.

DEAR LAVAR BALL


��You failed your son by raising a THIEF
��You failed your son by not being the man who got him out of jail
��And you're failing your son by not showing gratitude to THE MAN who did


You sir, are a FAILURE

I don't think those players had a clue of how their lives would
have been if Trump hadn't interceded on their behalf. As for them
thanking Trump, I don't think it was sincere. They were told you
should thank Trump and they said whatever.
