With the rise of social media and the various platforms’ popularity among players, passive aggression and petty sniping may be at an all-time high in the NBA.

But for a master class in throwing shade, look no further than BC Prienai-Skycop of the Lithuanian professional basketball league, former home to the Big Baller Brand circus.

In a page-and-a-half press release issued Thursday, the team serves up sour grapes like fine wine, claiming LaVar Ball and his sons, LiAngelo and LaMelo, “started destroying the club” and had “no inner drive to become better.”

The release — titled, “BC Prienai-Skycop: Big Baller Brand tried to destroy the club” — is full of the kind of scorched-earth honesty that professional organizations rarely engage in but which the Ball family seems to bring out in people, especially for a basketball team that clearly craves attention.

“The first and most crucial mistake we made was allowing them, especially LaVar, [to] think that they are in charge of the club — its decisions, its plans and even the game,” the team’s head coach, Virginijus Seskus, stated in the release. “His boys were nowhere near the level of the LKL, let alone NBA, which [the NBA] obviously understands, seeing the draft outcome.”

LiAngelo Ball, 19, went undrafted and instead played for the Los Angeles Ballers of the Junior Basketball Association, LaVar Ball’s vanity league, which is beset by its own problems.

The team suggests the Big Baller Brand did not take the league or the team’s goals seriously and joined only “to breathe life into their dying TV show.”

“Sponsor money was running out, players were seeing other options and the management had to take a courageous leap of faith — an agreement with the Big Baller Brand,” the release states. “After leaving the club without any prior notice and by taking back their financial support … BBB has left Prienai without sponsorship and base for future planning.”

The Ball family took down its tents and moved the sideshow back to the US in April.

LiAngelo Ball averaged 12.6 points in 14 games with the club, while the 16-year-old LaMelo Ball played just eight games and averaged 6.5 points.

“The club survived, and that is the most important fact,” Seskus said. “This season, we are also making bold moves, but now, we look to the big picture and future. We will give priority to professionals with great discipline and personalities.”

To that end, the club went out this week and signed a new set of brothers, Darjus and Ksistof Lavrinovic, whom the team refers to as a “professional title-winning duo to replace the reality show stars.”

Of course, that thinly veiled shot at the Big Baller Brand loses some heft in light of the fact that the 38-year-old Lavrinovic twins are “the tallest twin basketball professionals on earth” and are expected to have their own TV show that will air in the US.

“This year, we have the best brothers out there,” millionaire businessman and team sponsor Gediminas Ziemelis said. “Moreover, their personalities are far more attractive to the audience — they have [an] amazing sense of humor and are really approachable, which has already resulted in hundreds of thousands of fans across Europe.”

Ziemelis then took one final shot at the Ball brothers, comparing them to his new veteran toys.

“The level [the Lavrinovics] are playing at, even at this age, is far … superior to the one of [the] Ball brothers, that’s for sure,” Ziemelis said.

Seems safe to say the Balls won’t be invited back for any alumni games, which is just as well. They’ll probably be busy with their Los Angeles Ballers championship team reunion.
