If you help, you shouldnt have to say anything, Ball toldCNNs Chris Cuomoin an interview.
If I helped somebody, I dont walk around saying, You know I helped you now?
Give me some love!
Do you think the three UCLA Basketball Players will say thank you President Trump?
They were headed for 10 years in jail, Trump tweeted.
After this apparent solicitation, the players thanked Trump.
When asked about Trumps assistance byESPN, Ball remarked, Who?
What was he over there for?
Dont tell me nothing.
Everybody wants to make it seem like he helped me out.
I should have left them in jail, Trump tweeted in response.
Somebody told me about the tweet a couple days ago.
I dont even tweet, Ball told CNN.
Im just saying, why is that on your mind?
All this stuff is going on and thats on your mind, that a father didnt say thank you?
And youre supposed to be, you know, youre the head of the U.S.?
Ball didnt think he was criticizing the president with his initial remarks.
If he thinks it, thats fine, he said.
He added, I say thank you when I see something.
I dont thank you just cause its people talking and saying I did this, I did that.
Ball concluded, Tell Donald Trump to have a great Thanksgiving.
