Britney Spears is firing a shot at Justin Timberlake and what she considers his lack of basketball skills, claiming he was a sore loser when she’d take him down on the court.
The pop star took to Instagram Friday to throw some shade at the “Suit & Tie” singer … without naming names, she writes, “I never mentioned how I beat him in basketball 🏀 and he would cry … no disrespect 🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️ !!!”

Britney’s phrasing is no coincidence … you’ll recall, Justin addressed the controversy surrounding him and Britney’s memoir, “The Woman In Me,” during his performance in Las Vegas Wednesday night.
Right before singing, “Cry Me a River,” JT looked to the crowd and said, “No disrespect” … and the song was one Britney slammed for the connection to their broken relationship. It was alleged Justin wrote it after he had caught Britney cheating.
So yea … Brit talking about Justin crying after losing a game, two days after Justin performed “Cry Me a River” — the writing’s practically on the wall.

BTW, Britney was on the basketball team in high school and has shown off her skills before … so it’s possible JT took a few Ls during their time on the court together.
