LaVar Ball Tweets GIF Of Himself Dunking On President Trump

Big Baller Brand founder and CEO LaVar Ball took to Twitter on Thursday and posted an animated GIF of himself dunking over President Donald Trump.

The outspoken basketball dad tweeted the parody from his verified account with the hashtags "#thetrumpdunk" and "#stayinyolan," even tagging Trump’s personal account @RealDonaldTrump. The video shows a cartoon version of LaVar catching a basketball and dunking on top of Trump, causing him to plummet to the ground.

The two started taking shots at each other after Trump tweeted that he should have left LaVar’s son LiAngleo Ball, 18, and his two UCLA Bruins teammates, who were detained in China last month on shoplifting charges in "jail."

Trump, while visiting Beijing last month, claimed he asked Chinese present Xi Jinping to expedite the player's release. China dismissed the players, however, Trump took to Twitter and asked them to thank him.

LaVar, during an interview on CNN last month, said "Who?" when asked if Trump was responsible for the release of the players. Trump subsequently responded to LaVar’s comments via Twitter.

"It wasn't the White House, it wasn't the State Department, it wasn't father LaVar's so-called people on the ground in China that got his son out of a long-term prison sentence - IT WAS ME," Trump tweeted Nov. 22. "Too bad! LaVar is just a poor man's version of Don King, but without the hair."

After announcing he removed LiAngelo from UCLA Monday, LaVar doubled down on his stance on the president’s role in the release of the players.

"I don’t just be saying thank you because somebody said they did something," said on NBC’s "Today Show" Tuesday. "And if they did it, genuinely, do you really need to come up to me and say, ‘Boy, you better thank me?'"

UCLA suspended LiAngelo and the two other Bruins players as punishment for the China incident. The ex-Bruins freshman said he agreed with his father’s decision to remove him from the school.

"Well, I just want to play basketball, so whatever decision he makes, I trust it," he said.

Despite pulling his son from the famed basketball school, LaVar said he believes LiAngelo can still have a prosperous basketball career.

"It's going to happen," LaVar said. "He's gonna make money playing basketball. That's just what it's gonna be — his last name is Ball. We gonna ball till we fall."
