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 2 years ago

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

[–] CIark@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Bro give him credit for beating superstar Jordan Poole

[–] pedja13@alien.top 1 points 2 years 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 2 years ago

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

[–] rumblegod@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Damn the aau comment kinda hurts

[–] Snappydogs420@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

The Washington Stray Bullets

[–] Beavshak@alien.top 1 points 2 years 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 2 years ago

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

[–] Excellent-Cod-3430@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Have yall looked at Lamelo's team lol

[–] PM_THAT_BOOTY_GIRL@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] magicbeaned@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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

Clickbait Lame Shit.

[–] n0th1ng10@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] ChillSalamander@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] PaulMcPaulersn7@alien.top 1 points 2 years 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 2 years ago

Hold up. Let him cook

[–] InDawkinsWeTrust33@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] flaman27@alien.top 1 points 2 years 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 2 years 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 2 years ago

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