At the beginning of the article, Liangelo Ball routes to the Lonzo Ball article, as there is no article for LiAngelo. Please either add an article for LiAngelo, or just remove the link from Liangelo to lonzo. Thank You 69.112.9.160 (talk) 21:12, 12 June 2017 (UTC)

Washington State timeline

The article says that Mr. Ball played for the Washington State Cougars in the 1986-1987 basketball season. According to Sports-Reference.COM ( https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/schools/washington-state/1988.html ), LaVar Ball is listed as a player for the 1987-1988 season, not 1986-1987.

LaVar Ball is an American hero, depicted as the greatest man to ever live. While Jesus walked on water, LaVar can swim on land THeLeGenD2718 (talk) 16:25, 15 September 2017 (UTC)

My friend knows Lonzo's manager and he has found out some fun facts about him such as the fact that he likes to golf on his free time. 65.96.160.94 (talk) 21:39, 10 November 2017 (UTC)

Relevance? Seriously, I don't see the point in adding that he likes to golf in his free time. Trust me, there are plenty of people, old and young, that could do exactly that in their free time! - AGreatPhoenixSunsFan (talk) 19:11, 13 November 2017 (UTC)

LaVar's wife Tina is white, and their three sons are biracial.[1] 158.169.40.10 (talk) 10:08, 23 November 2017 (UTC)

 Not done. I'm not disputing the accuracy of this; I'm just noticing you didn't say why we should add it. Anything to do with interracial relationships needs a clear explanation of its value and relevance since it's still a very fraught topic. (And the same is true for anything to do with LaVar Ball, for that matter.) CityOfSilver 16:22, 23 November 2017 (UTC)

Request For LiAngelo Ball To Have His Own Article & Not Be Merged With LaVar Ball's Anymore

I would think that LiAngelo has done enough to have his own article by now like his brothers before him, especially with recent news of LiAngelo being arrested in China for shoplifting, which could have him facing a 3-10 year sentence there. Seriously, I don't think mentioning that fact on LaVar's page would fit at all there. – AGreatPhoenixSunsFan (talk) 04:36, 8 November 2017 (UTC)

I may be wrong, but I honestly havent seen significant coverage about him (and not as a relative) since the AfD. With the latest China news, it's a curious mix of WP:NOTINHERITED and now WP:BLP1E. You could go to WP:DRV and ask for a recreate if you think you have a case.—Bagumba (talk) 05:20, 8 November 2017 (UTC)

Given the refs I've been compiling at Talk:LiAngelo Ball the past month, I think he probably meets WP:GNG now. The article was not deleted before, just redirected, so any prior content is available in page history too.—Bagumba (talk) 11:52, 12 December 2017 (UTC)

Folks, there is now indeed a legitimate case for the creation of a dedicated LiAngelo Ball article, given that he is starring in a new reality video series "Ball in the Family" [2][3][4] and the prevalence of hits on his name in Google Trends has spiked [5]. A lot of things have changed since the last AfD vote, and even then, the consensus was weak. -- Fuzheado | Talk 15:01, 29 November 2017 (UTC)

It's a facebook watch show. If it becomes popular then there is some cause. He only spiked in Google Trends because he was recently in the news not because of an increase in relevancy. I don't think there is enough since AfD.Contentcreator (talk) 06:30, 2 December 2017 (UTC)

Picture?

How do we not have a picture for LaVar Ball?— Preceding unsigned comment added by CrispyCream27 (talk • contribs) 02:32, 9 January 2018 (UTC)

"Allegations of racism" section from LaVar Ball should be removed. It is not possible to be racist against white people in America. They always have the upper hand in our society. That's like if an African country were to make fun of the USA. Americans could laugh it off because Africans are significantly less fortunate than Americans. Think about that before you pass white people off to be the victim of racism. If you label what LaVar Ball said as racist then you would have to label almost every African-American comedian the same. 197.251.134.54 (talk) 03:26, 13 January 2018 (UTC)

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Your argument has merit, but contains no actionable request for remedy. What would you propose to change the title of that section to? Please advise. Spintendo ᔦᔭ 17:10, 13 January 2018 (UTC)

LaVar Ball Image

Um, not to be picky or anything like that, but is that seriously the best image of LaVar Ball that could possibly be used for this website? We can barely even see his face in that original image used! It's like one of those more ridiculous images we'd see in one of those Wikipedia "Fail Images" articles that I remember seeing once. Maybe it's just me thinking that, though. – AGreatPhoenixSunsFan (talk) 21:03, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

@AGreatPhoenixSunsFan: Someone on Flickr is expected to provide a newer and higher-quality image of him (along with LaMelo and LiAngelo Ball) soon. TempleM (talk) 21:34, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

Ah. That's good to know. – AGreatPhoenixSunsFan (talk) 21:36, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

@AGreatPhoenixSunsFan: FYI, all their pages have been updated with high-quality images. TempleM (talk) 22:37, 11 April 2018 (UTC)

Ah, much better. I'm good now. :) – AGreatPhoenixSunsFan (talk) 03:23, 12 April 2018 (UTC)
