If by any chance you are a big basketball fan, it is impossible that you have not met the Ball family. This is the original family of Liangelo Ball. He is the basketball star who played for Vytautas Prienai–Birštonas and was embroiled in a shoplifting controversy in China, which required the intervention of President Donald Trump and caught the attention of many people. Here’s what you need to know about him.
Biography of LiAngelo Ball
November 24, 1998 was the date LiAngelo was born in Anaheim, California. He was raised by his parents, Tina and LaVar Ball, alongside his younger brother LaMelo Ball and older brother Lonzo Ball. It is very interesting to note that while growing up, LiAngelo and his two brothers started playing basketball from childhood. It was because both of their parents were into the sport in different ways.
For his studies, LiAngelo Ball attended the Chino Hills High School and from here he went to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). Nonetheless, he was forced out of college following the incident that involved him in a shoplifting case in China, following which he was suspended.
The major controversy he got involved in was when he was arrested with his friends in Shanghai after they were allegedly caught wearing sunglasses. For the alleged crime, the three men could have spent between three and 10 years behind bars, but were released following what the Trump administration said was intervention by the President of the United States.
Although Trumped asked LiAngelo and his friends to thank him for his intervention, they realized their release was already in the works.
Basketball Statistics
So far, LiAngelo is yet to have any significant stats as he hasn’t played in many professional games or even in college since leaving as a freshman. Looking at his stats with Vytautas Prienu, he has played 15 games and started in 7 of the games. He recorded 193 points.
The young ball was hoping to make it to the NBA through the 2018 draft, but he was unable to make it at the combine draft in Chicago. Thus, the former Prienu Vytautas player now intends to go through the back door, as his father said.
What LaVar wants is for all of his boys to be signed by the Lakers and that is LiAngelo’s interest, but it remains to be seen if he can land a jersey. The chances of that happening are slim as sources have revealed the Lakers don’t even believe he’s good enough even for the G-League.
