The Big Baller Brand is winning.

For the past week, LaVar Ball has found himself in a beef with the most powerful man in the free World.

It all started when President Donald Trump demanded a “thank you” from LiAngelo Ball and his two teammates after Trump claims he personally spoke to Chinese President Xi Jinping about freeing the players who were in trouble for shoplifting at three luxury stores in China.

On Monday, LiAngelo’s father, LaVar, went on CNN and refused to thank the President. .

“I don’t have to go around saying ‘thank you’ to everybody,” “He didn’t call me. I didn’t shake his hand. He didn’t have to say nothin’, but I’m just sayin’. I have to know what somebody is doing before I say ‘thank you.’ I’m not just going to go around saying thank you.”

“Maybe we were doing some talking with some other people before he even got there,” Ball said, before adding that the president should deal with political matters, “there is a lot of other matters going around for the president to deal with that’s political. As far as me, let me deal with my son.”

Early this morning, Trump took to Twitter to once against blast LaVar Ball for not thanking him.

Apparently LaVar’s beef with the President has gained him an insane amount of free publicity for Big Baller Brand.

It’s pretty crazy how LaVar Ball was basically an unknown parent and is now a household name.
