This should be posted in his personal life section, it is one of the reasons why he is not playing in the NBA, he is a dumbass for stealing, but I guess he can't help it.

Recreate?

In light of the recent events, why is it that LaMelo has an article but not LiAngelo? MB298 (talk) 03:43, 21 November 2017 (UTC)

There's a related discussion at Talk:LaVar_Ball#Request_For_LiAngelo_Ball_To_Have_His_Own_Article_.26_Not_Be_Merged_With_LaVar_Ball.27s_Anymore.—Bagumba (talk) 10:10, 21 November 2017 (UTC)

There is a portion where it says that Ball and "two others" got arrested for shoplifting in China. We should change "two others" to Cody Riley and Jalen Hill. Inkling101 (talk) 00:56, 10 January 2018 (UTC)

 Not done Since neither of the other parties appear to be notable, we will not name them in a biographical article about Ball. General Ization ^Talk 00:59, 10 January 2018 (UTC)

• I guess I'll take this one on. Courcelles (talk) 18:39, 14 May 2018 (UTC)

• "but withdrew after he was suspended" "but withdrew from the university after..."
  • I'll take this since User:TempleM retired. Done. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 01:57, 15 May 2018 (UTC)
• Source for middle name and birthday?
  • Middle name Birthday (easy to find) ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 02:00, 15 May 2018 (UTC)
• "with Ball scoring" For hopefully obvious reasons, this doesn't work in this article ;) You're going to have to use first names for clarity.
  • Done. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 02:00, 15 May 2018 (UTC)
• "when he erupted" Watch word choice, could be more formal here.
  • Changed to "when he scored" ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 02:01, 15 May 2018 (UTC)
• "not a candidate for McDonald's All-American Game." for the McDonald's
  • Changed. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 02:04, 15 May 2018 (UTC)
• "136–93 triumph vs." Don't use abbreviations like this in the prose.
  • Spelled out. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 02:05, 15 May 2018 (UTC)
• Refs 103-109 are bare URL's.
  • Filled in. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 02:19, 15 May 2018 (UTC)

Not evaluated the references yet, just the prose. Courcelles (talk) 19:20, 14 May 2018 (UTC)

• TMZ is not an RS, Ref 78.
  • Replaced with a better ref. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 02:24, 15 May 2018 (UTC)
• Lots of refs seem to need publishers/works.
  • Is this really such an issue? ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 02:24, 15 May 2018 (UTC)
    • Guess not, at least not for GA, but it'll stop you cold at FAC. But, this is GA, and the article meets the criteria for referencing, so promoting. Courcelles (talk) 13:34, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

LiAngelo Ball is 6'5 (1.96m) not 6'4 (1.93m) Ekam14 (talk) 23:39, 19 July 2018 (UTC)

Los Angeles Ballers (2018–present), paragraph 2

"At the last day of the season" is not correct English. "Please change to On the last day" or better "On August 12, the last day of the season," 138.51.124.51 (talk) 01:57, 30 October 2018 (UTC)

 Done —KuyaBriBri^Talk 13:46, 30 October 2018 (UTC)

Anything in 2019?

VPL Strathcona (talk) 20:27, 22 May 2019 (UTC)

Signed with OKC Blue

He recently signed a contract with OKC Blue, that should be added. Thecoderbro (talk) 04:24, 8 March 2020 (UTC)

I've only seen unreliable sources based on breaking news from anonymous sources so far.—Bagumba (talk) 09:12, 8 March 2020 (UTC)

Personal Life Section Edit

The section starts off saying LiAngelo is the youngest son of Lavar and Tina Ball when in fact he is the middle child (second son). JayWuzer (talk) 05:23, 11 March 2020 (UTC)

He WENT TO UCLA

Plz quit deleting his college career. He attended UCLA and even played in a preseason game! S882019 (talk) 23:26, 21 March 2020 (UTC)

@S882019: I've started a more central discussion at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_College_Basketball#Listed_colleges_in_bios'_infoboxes. Regards.—Bagumba (talk) 01:05, 22 March 2020 (UTC)

Consensus is not to list teams the player didn’t appear in a regular season game for. This includes college. Rikster2 (talk) 02:50, 22 March 2020 (UTC)

Personal life section

The "Personal Life" section provides no information concerning his personal life, but only biographical information regarding his mother, father, brothers, and cousin. It should be deleted for this reason. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.117.25.185 (talk) 10:11, 13 December 2020 (UTC)

I moved background of his parent to "Early life", giving readers a background to his upbringing. I think it's worth leaving that his brothers are NBA players.—Bagumba (talk) 11:49, 13 December 2020 (UTC)

This NBA player has been cut from his team and never played one minute of NBA Preseason. I was hoping to fix that, and add it to his professional career. Sportsfixer (talk) 17:43, 14 December 2020 (UTC)

 Not done The Pistons did not announce that he is waived. Please read WP:SPORTSTRANS to better understand how things work here. – Sabbatino (talk) 18:23, 14 December 2020 (UTC)
