BIG!!!!! BALLER!!!!! BRAND!!!!!! International style…
Now that LiAngelo is back home safe and sound with a clear record, LaVar Ball can speak freely on the matter.
He didn’t hold back by saying Trump is trying to take credit for getting LiAngelo back when it was really LaVar that did the heavy lifting. Here is what he told ESPN.
Who?” Ball told ESPN when asked about Trump’s involvement in the matter. “What was he over there for? Don’t tell me nothing. Everybody wants to make it seem like he helped me out.”
LaVar then stuck up for LiAngelo by saying Gelo has built up enough of a reputation that people shouldn’t look badly upon him.
“As long as my boy’s back here, I’m fine,” Ball told ESPN. “I’m happy with how things were handled. A lot of people like to say a lot of things that they thought happened over there. Like I told him, ‘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 he was shoplifting and stealing cars and going wild, then that’s a different thing.
“Everybody gets stuck on the negativity of some things and they get stuck on them too long. That’s not me. I handle what’s going on and then we go from there.”
