Fuck did the wizards do to this guy

I get that the word "superstar" is often times used to liberally but it's weird to see a agent of all people talking shit about that.

Shouldn't he want to be in the good graces as many players as he can?

[–] Titanstheory@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

It’s really weird and unnecessary diss when the hornets have missed multiple top 7 rotational guys all year.

Bro give him credit for beating superstar Jordan Poole

[–] pedja13@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

He is out of line,but he is right

Being an NBA agent is like the easiest job ever, while making bank. Why would you even somewhat risk it being a Twitter warrior?

Damn, Wizards catching strays

[–] sirporkka@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Whos calling Lamelo a superstar, he aint even a mid level all star

[–] rumblegod@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Damn the aau comment kinda hurts

[–] Snappydogs420@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

The Washington Stray Bullets

[–] Beavshak@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I will not stand for this WA AAU slander. We would clearly beat the Hornets if we played our starters.

Hey, screw you pal! We're at LEAST a D2 college team.

[–] Fitzy725@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Deni beat a D1 Auburn team once! That’s gotta count for something.

[–] Excellent-Cod-3430@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Have yall looked at Lamelo's team lol

[–] PM_THAT_BOOTY_GIRL@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Pretty weird and unprovoked attack on Lamelo when his client isn't a superstar either

[–] magicbeaned@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Fuck this post, this has nothing to do with Jimmy.

Clickbait Lame Shit.

[–] n0th1ng10@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

He’s right tho. But it’s Just a label at the end of the day.

[–] ChillSalamander@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Why should I care about Jimmy Butler’s agents opinion on anything

[–] PaulMcPaulersn7@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I think superstar should be based on popularity more than talent or skill level. Lebron, curry and durant are definitely superstars but player that are/could be considered top 10 like sga or Jokic aren’t superstars because they don’t have that household name factor. My grandma should be able to recognise your name to be considered a superstar. I don’t think lamelo is quite there yet. He has the young audience fs but idk how many old people have heard of him. But idk why jimmys agent is talking when Jimmy ain’t one either

[–] GentrifvsWhiteflight@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Hold up. Let him cook

[–] InDawkinsWeTrust33@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

The AAU team from Washington also accounted for one of the Hornets 6 losses mmkay

[–] flaman27@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

“his team is 1-6 in the last 7 games with the 1 win coming against the AAU team in Detroit. Our definition of superstar is somewhat skewed”

-Bernard Lee on Steph Curry, probably

[–] dafire123@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Regardless of the post about Lamelo. It took Tatum 2 years of first team all NBA basketball for the general media to label him a superstar. This Shits wack.

[–] Fast_Stick_1593@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

That AAU team also beat the Hornets so jokes on you random agent guy 🧙‍♂️
