This bravado comes after they're home safe and sound. While Gelo was still in China, lets stay quiet and see what Trump can do. And once everything is okay, I'll go back to saying stupid things.

Then Trump reminds us he's even more silly than LaVar.

@realDonaldTrump

Now that the three basketball players are out of China and saved from years in jail, LaVar Ball, the father of LiAngelo, is unaccepting of what I did for his son and that shoplifting is no big deal. I should have left them in jail

Lavar knows any press bad or good gets him in the news. So of course he would make a statement like this knowing Trump would bite. Before Lonzo went to UCLA last year and being a projected top draft pick did anybody know who he was? Most likely not.

That is by far, the most ridiculous and hilarious interview I've ever seen, and I can't believe I watched the entire thing. Lavar is a bigger troll that Trump lol.

Being a troll gets him the publicity he wants. If he sounds outrageous it’s better for him and his sons. People are calling him an idiot, but he isn’t. People called Skip Bayless an idiot too and he laughed all the way to the bank.

50 years from now there will be college marketing classes solely dedicated to studying Donald Trump, and Lavar Ball.

From Trump's twitter;

Quote:
It wasn’t the White House, it wasn’t the State Department, it wasn’t father LaVar’s so-called people on the ground in China that got his son out of a long term prison sentence - IT WAS ME. Too bad! LaVar is just a poor man’s version of Don King, but without the hair. Just think.....LaVar, you could have spent the next 5 to 10 years during Thanksgiving with your son in China, but no NBA contract to support you. But remember LaVar, shoplifting is NOT a little thing. It’s a really big deal, especially in China. Ungrateful fool!


This is like WWE feuds, Cutting promos and try to get heat etc. Trump runs USA like its a wrestling world.

I don't think people realize Lavar is playing them and what a genius move is on his behalf.
1) He gets free publicity from a bad situation. CNN, ESPN, etc are putting him on their shows and he gets to self promote. You see his troll face when the interviewers are asking him serious questions.
2) The heat was on his sons, Lonzo and LiAngelo....this puts it back on Lavar where he can take it. He is doing nothing but PR and he can take the heat.
3) The people critical of Lavar weren't BBB customers anyways.
4) He takes control of the situation. Nobody can tell him what to do and who to thank.

I think this is a good comeback for BBB brand after shoplifting controversy. No one was gonna side with LiAngelo who's seen as a rich spoilt kid who tried to steal and it had changed the narrative of a middle class family that reached this far the right way. Now he's taking on Trump who's hated by large section of the population and many believe he's racist as well. Well played by King LaVar.

Lavar is a private citizen who's MO is like you said, WWE style promotion... this is nothing
But our own POTUS stooping low like that, that's a big deal
