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.

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.
