So they stole some $1 knockoff fake sunglasses.
Maybe they can do some good in life like now become organ donors.

"Gonna wait for some more intel" Uh huh
These fools are about anything but "intel". Forgive me, dad, but this is a big deal. The Chinese won't pamper your precious baby boy and his co-conspirators.
I'm not surprised. I'm not surprised that these idiots would do such a thing. I'm not surprised that these idiots would be so bold and arrogant as to commit crimes on foreign soil. Nothing about this story, including the photos of the idiots in question, surprises me.
Maybe they can figure a way to blame this on racism in America.
In a country where everyone looks like Moe from The Three Stooges, black men stick out like a sore thumb. Here's a word for these guys to study while sitting in lockup: conspicuous. You walked into that store and everyone noticed you immediately. You want to get away with it? Then, steal sunglasses in freaking Zimbabwe or Kenya.
BTW, I love the ESPN talking head who points out that these guys- through their NBA connections- could have gotten these sunglasses for free. He doesn't say jack shit about stealing being wrong. He just mentions that the boys could have copped their shit much easier.

In my experience of around nine years living in Tokyo [NOT China, I know], the majority of Japanese people that I met varied from having mixed feelings to downright anti-black feelings. I don't know if any SIG forum members - USN personnel - serving at Yokosuka can expand on that impression.
In a similar vein, what WE call Asians, that is, Indians to Arabs, are widely viewed with great mistrust. The few staff of the Saudi embassy - a few yards from our office building - were the only arabs I ever saw in all that time. Certainly there were no females in head-to-foot concealing garb.
Come to think of it, there were no females...

I was watching tv last night and this "incident" came up again but now a big wig in or poss. from China,sorry I can't remember his name(but he is said to be worth over $40 billion so states the news), is now involved and will probably get them off scott free as this rich guy has a lot of pull. I hope I am wrong.

The newscasters seem pretty comfortable discussing (with out actually saying it) that China is its own country, with its own borders and its own laws. And you broke one of their laws and are subject to their punishment.
I would suggest they take a knee in front of the judge and Chinese flag and let them know they were only arrested due to institutional Chinese racism against shoplifters.

I have no idea what feeling "entitled" is like. Possibly he has had everything given to him, due to his Brothers wealth? I am not a sports fan so don't know a thing about the Ball Family.
What amazes me...These folks don't seem to think about CONSEQUENCES.
Lets drive a $300K, exotic car with huge amounts of power , like a total idiot...then total it in a wreck. NO ONE saw that coming?
Let's steal , in a Communist Country, while there as an Ambassador of our Sport at minimum or as a face to America at most.
Is there some DNA fault or genome missing in these people?

They've disgraced their team mates, their coaches, and their school and embarrassed all of the above internationally. If I were UCLA I'd send them packing.
