Despite the on and off-court antics that marred the Ball family in the past, Los Angeles Lakers young star Lonzo Ball has exceptionally kept his cool and played the issues in a mature way. But it turns out that Lonzo's patience has already grown thin as he was caught lashing out on his brother, LaMelo Ball, during the recent episode of Ball in the Family.
In the video, Lonzo would walk up on LaMelo's JBA team's huddle as he questioned his younger brother's maturity and leadership.

Melo, you know that, bro. Youâre out here laughing like thatâs a joke. Yâall are professionals. In real basketball, thatâs gonna get your ass traded or waived. Yâall need to get better ⌠It should make you (LaMelo) mad, youâre the (expletive) captain of the team. Yâall are building bad habits and it starts with you (LaMelo). Youâre over there running bull(expletive) lines. Yâall play for LA. You got that on your chest. Yâall need to get better.â
LaVar Ball has deemed his youngest son as the face of the JBA. LaMelo's basketball potential as emphasized by his tremendous perimeter shooting and creativity around the rim is in the brink of being put to waste as his maturity in playing the game remains questionable. Even though his team, Los Angeles Ballers, won the JBA title in its inaugural season, LaMelo is still widely criticized for his immature approach to the game.
For Lakers fans, this is a welcome sight as the team needs Lonzo to be more vocal as he develops into a full-fledged point guard for the Lakeshow.
