Lonzo Ball clowns brother LaMelo for blown dunk
There’s no roast quite like a Ball family roast.
During a game on Monday, youngest Ball brother LaMelo, who is playing professionally in Lithuania for Prienu Vytautas along with older brother LiAngelo, blew an alley-oop dunk attempt to himself in funny fashion.

The clip soon went viral, and eventually made its way to eldest brother Lonzo. Here is what the Los Angeles Lakers rookie had to say on Twitter in response:
Okay @MELOD1P grabbing rim now I see you HA https://t.co/0Q7WiUSBDl

At 16 years old, LaMelo is actually only three inches shorter than the 20-year-old Lonzo (6-foot-3 vs. 6-foot-6). LaMelo’s hops clearly aren’t quite there yet though, but maybe they will be once he and Lonzo are eventually teammates (at least if you ask father LaVar).
