No, the “Star Trek” actor doesn’t have sons who play basketball in L.A.
For 23 years, LeVar Burton attempted to teach the joys of reading to millions of youngsters on the PBS series “Reading Rainbow.”
If only Trump supporters had paid heed to that message.
It seems that a lot of Trumpers are confusing Burton with basketball dad LaVar Ball, or just assuming all LaVars are alike.
Ball, the father of Los Angeles Lakers rookie Lonzo Ball, trolled Trump on CNN Monday by refusing to thank the president for getting his younger son LiAngelo and two of his UCLA basketball teammates out of China after they were charged with shoplifting.
From Ball’s interview:
“I don’t have to go around saying ‘thank you’ to everybody. He didn’t call me. I didn’t shake his hand. He didn’t have to say nothing, but I’m just saying. I have to know what somebody is doing before I say ‘thank you.’ I’m not just going to go around saying thank you.”
Many people, especially Trump supporters, didn’t appreciate Ball’s comments and immediately went to Twitter to send rude comments to him.
Instead, many of those comments went to LeVar Burton instead:
@CNN @ChrisCuomo I wonder what you did to ? off your producers that they made you sit through that ? -show of an interview with @levarburton.... what an arrogant ? !! — Jamie Lenz (@Jamieboy05) November 21, 2017
But Burton also had to deal with razzing from his fellow cast members from “Star Trek: The Next Generation.”
A few of Burton’s fans tried to subtly explain there may have been a slight misunderstanding.
After that last post, the Trumpers couldn’t LeVar well enough alone

Im pretty sure they did it for both and got similar results.
They the same anyway -
I've been going in on Trump supporters on FB and Twitter with all the vitriol I've acquired from years on the IC, and it ? them all the way up. Lmao. Ain't lost yet.
It helps that they're a stupid bunch too. A nice amalgamation of cuss words, current media metaphors, some slang here, a little bit of rap lyrics there, some intellect and common sense and these ? be reeling.
I hate 'em all. ? ass idiots. -
