LaVar Ball 接受 CNN 訪問堅拒向 Donald Trump 道謝
LaVar Ball : If I was going to thank somebody, I probably would thank President Xi(習近平)
涉嫌在中國盜竊的 LiAngelo Ball、Cody Riley 和 Jalen Hill 三人,得以安全回到美國,總統 Donald Trump 似乎在這處理過程中發揮了關鍵作用,不過他並沒有得到 LiAngelo Ball 父親 LaVar Ball 的道謝,反而被對方指跟這件事沒有甚麼關係,令 Donald Trump 在 Twitter 上發文指責。昨天 LaVar Ball 接受 CNN 專訪時,再次為這件事作出了回應,他堅持自己拒絕向 Donald Trump 道謝的態度,並表示如果他要致謝,會比較想致謝中國國家主席習近平。
Shoplifting is a very big deal in China, as it should be (5-10 years in jail), but not to father LaVar. Should have gotten his son out during my next trip to China instead. China told them why they were released. Very ungrateful!

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!
