LaVar Ball isn't going to let go of a great marketing opportunity his feud with Donald Trump. On Tuesday, Ball appeared on CNN's New Day where he used Trump's words against him, complaining that he "didn’t get a thank you" from the President of the United States for the three pairs of red, white, and blue Big Baller Brand sneakers he sent to the White House.
Back in November, Ball was adamant that he would not be saying thank you to Trump, even after he claimed to be the one who spoke to Chinese president Xi Jinping, and helped bring LaVar's son LiAngelo, as well as former UCLA freshmen Jalen Hill and Cody Riley, back home. "I don't have to go around saying thank you to everybody," he told Chris Cuomo during their interview last month.
Earlier today, LaVar added more fuel to the fire by posting a GIF which shows him dunking on Trump.
When the GIF zooms in on the Twitter app on the phone, you can see a tweet from Ball's account, saying, "Stay in yo lane @realDonaldTrump! The Big Baller will put you on a poster." It will probably only be a matter of time before Trump responds and gives LaVar exactly what he wants—more free yet valuable publicity.
