AlexKennedyNBA: An agent recently told me that this year's rookies are very affected by online negativity. His players get REALLY upset if they read criticism on Twitter or a mean post on Reddit (and A LOT of young players are on Reddit). These guys grew up on social media, so it hits them hard.

People forget that we are dealing with 18-19 year old kids. This isn’t surprising.

It’s why Chicken doesn’t tolerate this shite against LSU players. If you post something on the rant, they will probably read it.

TG playing 5D chess...have your organization trade your first round picks so you don't have to draft these losers.

No shite. These are pampered college age kids with the maturity of high schoolers at best. Of course they’re gonna get upset about negativity

They all need to get their asses whipped by Kobe

This current generation is the unfortunate reality of being the first real generation where their lives have been totally online.

I can promise you other generations would have similar issues if that was the case.

I don’t believe that they are on reddit. I feel like reddit is only young white nerds
