LaMelo Ball got an earful from his father after he was ejected for slapping an opponent during a Junior Basketball Association game in Lithuania in October.

The latest episode of the Facebook series "Ball in the Family" shows LaVar Ball going off on his youngest son in the locker room, declaring, "You f---ed up my brand, you f---ed up my game."

LaVar told the show's producers afterward that he was testing LaMelo to see how he would react.

"Some time a lot of these youngsters, they don't listen to what you say. They listen to how you say it," LaVar explained. "So, I try to make him cry."
