The two younger Ball brothers, LaMelo and LiAngelo, won the inaugural Junior Basketball Association title over the weekend. They combined for 92 points—but Michael Rapaport wasn't impressed.

In a new episode of his podcast, Rapaport addressed one of his typical aggressive rants at the Ball brothers and their father's league.

"What the fuck kind of Big Baller Brand bullshit league did they start? Check these stats out—Gelo and Melo Ball play on the same team. Gelo shot the ball 53 times in one game. Melo shot the ball 23 times in one game. Now I ain't no mathematician but 53 plus 73 [sic], that's 76 fucking shots. Imagine two guys shoot the fucking ball 76 fucking times. Who are the other three guys on the team? What are they from, extras casting? Are they even allowed in the locker room? Do they get their ankles taped? Get the fuck outta here with that Big Baller Brand bullshit. Seventy-six times between two ballplayers on one team, fuck outta here. Pass me the rock motherfucker, I'm open."

Rapaport didn't hold back, but then again he never does.

Surprisingly, LaMelo actually responded, calling the actor/analyst a "lame ass."

Perhaps Rapaport was looking for a new athlete to feud with, as it seems his beef with Johnny Manziel has cooled off.
