LaVar Ball is rekindling his feud with the President of the United States.

Ball reacted Saturday to new reporting that indicated that President Donald Trump had overstated his role in getting LiAngelo Ball released following his shoplifting incident in China. On Saturday, an ESPN report quoted a source close to the UCLA basketball team who said that Ball and his two UCLA teammates were already out of jail with their charges reduced before Trump’s intervention, though that did not stop the President from taking credit for it.

Yes, LaVar Ball read that report, and if you thought he was going to let it go without calling out Trump, you would be incorrect.

Thank you for what again @realDonaldTrump ? #knowyourfacts #stayinyolane pic.twitter.com/em082MaSBo

Fair play to LaVar — he said all along that Trump wasn’t as helpful as he had claimed to be. Score one for Big Baller Brand.
