It’s hard to tell where it truly went wrong for LiAngelo Ball and his father’s master plan.
Maybe it was when he left the UCLA basketball team after being arrested in China for shoplifting. Maybe it was when he shot 24.3 percent from three-point range in Lithuania and left the team earlier than expected. Maybe it was when he worked out for only the Los Angeles Lakers and the Golden State Warriors in the pre-draft process. Or maybe he was just never good enough at basketball to be drafted, as NBA executives believed.
Whatever the case, what happened is that LiAngelo Ball didn’t hear his named called during the 2018 NBA draft, despite the best efforts of some dedicated fans, and the 19-year-old will now move on to finding a team in free agency.

I wish nothing but failure for this entire family....what an arrogant father and he’s bestowed that on his half white sons, and btw, this father doesn’t like white people...we’re not good enough...
Unlikely the Balls will work anywhere outside of basketball. Maybe they will get their own reality TV series like the no-talent Kardashians.
Maybe it went wrong when his dad opened his mouth & everybody realized what an a-hole he was & they decided they didn’t want that cancer on their team.
Karma is... REAL!
His dad thinks the NBA owes his son a contract because he’s black or something.
I think he needs to take up playing soccer.

Ball can partner with Colin Kapernick on the Spurned Black Athlete Tour.
Sounds like the Lakers or Warriors didn’t want to draft Ball and the baggage of his dad that goes along with him.
Smart decision in my view.
No team wants to put up with a drama queen.............
“...what an arrogant father and he’s bestowed that on his half white sons...”
The worst part is that LaVar is so far out there in his arrogance that he’ll believe that LiAngelo was a great player - but that the NBA establishment hates outspoken black males and punished LiAngelo as retribution.
Regarding that point, there might be a little something to the fact that LaVar has been a meddling pain in the ass everywhere. No coaching staff or team mgmt. wants to deal with that on a regular basis. That could play a part in why LiAngelo wasn’t drafted but obviously LiAngelo’s lack of NBA talent was the major factor.
Foiled Again , show me the money ,LOL
Whity’s fault yet again. Maybe he’ll sue?
Where is Nelson Muntz?
I have felt, and honestly feel sorry for his kids. To have a jack-wagon dad like that must really suck.
>>Whity’s fault yet again. Maybe he’ll sue?<<
Yes, the NBA’s reticence to hire black basketball players is a constant embarrassment.
*snort*
Yes - it’s a pity how all these professional teams don’t want to hire blacks. I think it’s unconscionable.
LaVar can always go to a Lakers game and take a knee up in the stands. That’ll show Whitey.
