Just in time for the holidays, LaVar Ball has been good enough to advise us on one way to obtain a pair of his company’s odd $495 sneakers.
Steal them?
The father of UCLA freshman basketball player LiAngelo Ball has spent the last week telling the world his son and fellow Bruins Cody Riley and Jalen Hill didn’t really do too much wrong when they were caught shoplifting in three stores during the team’s recent trip to China.
They were detained, confined to the country beyond their scheduled departure, released with the help of two presidents, publicly admitted their wrongdoing and are serving an indefinite team suspension.
But according to the family patriarch, a man whose publicity-seeking craziness has been excused because he is a good father, theft isn’t that big of a deal.

Let's see, God himself personally wrote it in stone.

All three of his kids have a white mom.

But according to the family patriarch, a man whose publicity-seeking craziness has been excused because he is a good father, theft isn’t that big of a deal. I think his craziness has been excused for another reason.

This man’s mind is definitely not on the BALL! Maybe his head got hit too often with one, though.
To: Eddie01
He reminds me of the Williams sisters’ father. Everything is about race and how unfair white people are.

The guy is just a shameless ghetto grifter trying to garner publicity for the struggling Tee shirt biz he launched last year.
Dude is ghetto trash but so his is target business demographic.
Trump's publicity saved his company and Ball owes Trump a sales commission.

Lavar Ball is the ultimate media whore. And Trump is feeding him.

He resembles the inferior opening of the alimentary canal of an Equus caballus.

Apparently, in some “cultures” it’s not. Moron.
