Lupica: LaVar Ball Should Have Thanked Trump for ‘Getting These Three Knuckleheads’ Back from China

EXCERPT:

RUHLE: "He went after, remember Steph Curry, MVP of the NBA, a family man, a father, a religious guy. President Trump went so far to write his name in in a spiteful way to the tax bill or President Trump's team. And what's amazing is what he doesn't like about Steph Curry is that Steph Curry didn’t want to go to the White House after the Golden State Warriors won the championship. President Trump didn’t have anything to say when Tom Brady didn’t go to the White House. Now, Tom Brady didn’t go because his mother, unfortunately, was sick, but Michael, doesn’t this sort of hold on help President Trump — he loves these fights. And LaVar Ball is giving in to him. At the end of the day, whether President Trump did a little, a lot, or nothing, LaVar Ball’s son is home. And that is a good thing. And we can say thanks and move on. You don’t need to have this."
LUPICA: "No, no. Listen, Steph, you look at this fight between LaVar Ball and the president of the United States, it’s hard to find a way to root in this fight, OK, but in the original fallout from this story, yeah, the father should have thanked him for getting these three knuckleheads from UCLA back. But --"
RUHLE: "It costs you nothing to say thank you."
