"Ah, man, it's about to get ugly, Melo. It's about to get ugly, Melo. Words to my dead, it's about to get ugly," Deron said before dunking an athletic bucket.

"Oh my f---g god," he shouted twice.

"My shit. This is my s--t. This is my s--t," Deron Rippy Jr went on.

He continued to do the same at multiple points during the game. While OSL was about to take a free throw, Deron Rippy started his deed again.

"Melo, yo, now they are worried about me. They (are) worried about me. They weren't worried about me in the beginning of the game. Should have been knew."

After Blair Academy's beautiful set-up to score a basket, Rippy said:

"And one. This is my s--t."

The young gun showed his impeccable shooting skills and then prevented a defender from stopping his teammate, who went on to score another point.

"Yo, yo, yo. Keep killing bro. They are worried about me. I know. I know. See how you are getting yours. I don't need to get mine all the time gang. I already got mine. You get off, then we both eat."

The show went on as Deron Rippy bagged 30 points, seven rebounds and six assists. Blair Academy thrashed OSL with a scoreline of 81-63. Alijah Arenas couldn't stop himself from sharing his reaction to the trash talk. He took to his Instagram handle and shared melo.films1's post on his story.
