In the fifth episode of Ball In The Family -- the Facebook reality show about the love ‘em or hate ‘em Ball Family — the show takes you behind the scenes of the viral LaVar chews out LaMelo video after a 10-point loss at the Double Pump Summer Tip-Off.
“Until you learn to be like your brother and play both ends, you'll be sorry as hell." LaVar said after the game to Melo, who did score 50 points (less than 24 hours after scoring 51) but missed 34 of 56 shots, 18 of 24 threes and 5 of 15 free throws. "You don't have enough of this killer in you yet. I don't see it.”
It wasn’t Melo’s shot selection on offense that pissed off LaVar the most, it was his lack of defense, which was partly the result of his lack of sleep and rest the night before.
The rest of the episode is about Tina's recovery and LiAngelo's relationship with his high school sweetheart, Izzy.
