Yaxel Lendeborg on facing Victor Wembanyama: “What does he average, like five blocks? I’m gonna try to shoot as many 3s as I can tonight, try to bait him into helping out…oh, and try to rough him up as much as we can.”
As I type this the warriors are down 26 points and Yaxel has 1 pt
To be fair, he said hed shoot the ball but said nothing about making them.
He didn’t even shoot the ball
Bro has been writing checks that Steph has to cash. Only issue is Steph ain’t around to cash said checks tn
Love the kid, but this might just be his ‘Welcome to the NBA’ moment. No shame that it would come against Wemby.
He had his two welcome moments already against Luka. He will gather some more welcomes the way he is talking, won’t be a place left to stamp
Kid lol. He was never anybody, he’s a shithead cornball, and whatever.
be careful Yaxel, or you’re gonna get that titanium elbow of doom from Vic lmao
the ol trachea crusher
La guillotine
tranche that gorge, Wemby. liberté, égalité, fatalité
Achève-le !
The Thermidorian Reaction
The Whiff of Elbow
Caleb Wilson’s right hand broke after getting in contact with his elbow the other day.
Caleb Wilson has had three hand fractures in a year, so I think that has more to do with his weird hands
Yeah but Wemby can get more notoriety if we attribute it to El Codazo
El Codazo 💀
Can someone make a loteria card and have Vic’s elbow with “El Codazo”
That’s kind of concerning tbh
Might be the same hand
He broke his left hand dunking like a week after he broke his right hand… dunking. He probably needs to stop fucking dunking. Or drink milk.
They called me Mr. Glass
??? Didn’t he dive for the ball to the ground?
Nope, Trevor Lane from Laker Nation/Basketball bulletin showed replays.Here is where is hand made contact with the said titanium elbow
Edit: Here is a link to the replay he was reviewing
Watch Vic show up as Dr. Doom for Halloween next year
That’s why you always gotta have that one skinny ass dude on your team throwing bows
My money is still on Dray. Remember what he did when he thought Rudy was about to fuck up Klay 😂
prescient
Only if he goes in the paint. If he’s shooting a three he’ll just try to land underneath to break an ankle
i support my brother Solomon Hill; Wembanyama was just playing defense! not his fault LeBron Yaxel can’t move his feet!
Draymond will do something if he does that
Rockets whip on Steph every time they play and Draymond still hasn’t moved a muscle
What you mean? Draymond always doing something.
Hey, draymond did in fact do something
Might do something regardless
Not a suspendable offense!!!
when you’re a star they let you do, just slam the elbow into the neck. you can do anything
definitely not
whoosh
Cy-borg’s elbow is no joke.
T7-400
Wemby: “And I took that personally”
Or maybe his team goes down 18-0 to start lol. Yaxel is a talented player but as a rookie he really needs to shut his fucking mouth
He’s a really old rookie for the current day
I wonder how he didn’t get drafted earlier years
Narrator: he did not in fact shoot many 3s
This did not age well and it’s not even half time lmao
Jesus Christ look at the score lol
Yaxel at the end of the 3rd: 1⁄13 FG, 1⁄2 FT, -40 plus minus (game lowest), 3 turnovers,, 3 personal fouls, 3 points
Getting cooked into Yaxel Hindenberg
Bro I commented on this post told them spurs are gonna punch them in the throat. I got down voted. Dude yaps to much he needs to realize he’s a rook and focus on ROTY
Did you watch the video though or just comment on the post? Seems like you didn’t watch the video if you think he’s yapping too much here
He got an interview post game and there was a comment saying why do we keep posting this dude? Some people say they like him he’s refreshing some people say the people who don’t like him are haters. When the truth apparently I care about him more than you guys do.
The kid is a rookie! The NBA is not a sprint it is a 82 game marathon and some players have been running this marathon for years. This rook had barely ran 20 games and he’s talking and being posted everywhere. He is putting a target on his and his teams back, some persons like it for the entertainment I’m trying to say dude needs to shut up before the opposing teams make him look bad and he gets no minutes next year and out of the league in his 4th year.
They doubled him tonight, wow wtf? Maybe if he kept quiet and let his game do the talking didn’t say Luka sucks and were gonna rough up wemby maybe just maybe spurs woulda let you dribbled the ball and not make you go 1-13.
I’ll say this for the last time he needs to be quiet and focus on ROTY and leave these vets alone.
Dumbass take
1⁄10 rn 😭😭😭
That’s life. Sometimes you shoot 9⁄10. Sometimes you shoot 1⁄10. Most the time though it’s 5⁄10 and that’s enough.
Wemby lost respect for Yaxel
“and I took that personally”
I’ve lost all respect for Meg
Wemby would for sure respect Yax and these comments would verify that. Some of you are media illiterate
It’s a reference from when yaxel said he lost all respect for Luka, you can find the clip in here
Yes, Yax said that. Not sure what that has to do with the OP’s comment tho or why it being a reference to something matters.
One thing can be a reference to something else and not make sense on its own.
Watched this as they down 0-14
0-18 now rofl
Bruh they down 20
Down 24 after the first. They took Wemby out and started playing the bench
Down 40 midway through the 3rd, can’t wait for the “Wemby only scored 12 points” discourse lol
“Admin he doin’ it sideways”
same just saw this lmfao
We had no chance from the start missing $150m in salary. Even if we were fully healthy I wpuld pick the Spurs.
so then why the hell is Yax doing all that talking lmao
Because he was asked about dealing with Wemby?
Did you somehow hear him say that he was gonna smoke wemby or that they were gonna win?
Pull wemby out of the paint and try to be physical with him is literally every teams game plan.
lmao I like Yaxel but let’s be real, he was talking crazy 😂
Yaxel is 1⁄7 from 3 w/ 3 total points at halftime. what’s his Plan B?
Those warmups just could not be any uglier
He looks like a honeybee covered in pollen
Honeybee cult leader
I scrolled up after reading this comment and I’m laughing so hard I’m going to wake up my dog lmfao
Lmao I thought it was just some random hoodie had on until I saw this
the raptors version is pretty cool
It’s all dependent on the team colors. I think golden state should have done royal blue and yellow because the black and yellow is bad. The worst is the suns though: purple with orange.
You’re insane, it’s dope as hell
I don’t like these specific ones but the Spurs warmups are growing on me
I’ve seen a few different team’s version of these sweatshirts and I think they’re pretty cool.
Yeah I really like them, they’re different
Right these shits are fire I bought the Sixers and Raptors asap. I wonder what these Reddit fashionistas think a good warmup would look like?
I have no idea how dudes comment got upvotes lol the NBA warmup designs this year are all incredible. The pacers and Raptors ones are elite.
The average Redditor is neither cool nor well dressed
You mean you don’t fuck with the Standard Issue Collection?
I personally like them. I got the Heat’s complete tracksuit. 🤷🏾
But the way he’s smiling when he says “oh and try to rough him up as much as we can.” Just makes me happy.
They are fire and you have bad taste - one of the most unique team warmups I’ve seen in the league. Super sick that it’s league wide
Coolest warmups ever. You don’t know anything about what’s cool.
Yeah ngl these look a lot like a secondhand rug I bought off of facebook marketplace in college that brought the house some mysterious odors
They’re all ugly and tacky and idk how the decided on those
He got 3 pts and 0-1 from 3 at halftime 😂He played himself
He showed them
dont let warriors fans hear that their own team uses the “rough up steph” strategy on other superstar players
lol warriors fans so funny they literally had zaza knock kawhi out of a series when the KD warriors was getting ass to belt.
Loved how they were going off about how the Rockets always injure Steph and then someone posted the compilation of every injury and none of them were remotely dirty plays lol
It’s moreso about the coincidence of how many times it has happened against the very physical rockets but no professional has called them a dirty team. Commenters online however..
A lot of them included play-off injuries, turns out if you face a team a lot in the play-offs, injuries are more likely to occur between those two teams whoda thunk it
While that’s true the NBA also had to change how fouls are called on jump shots after dillon brooks spent a playoff series trying to hit curry’s injured thumb after each shot
Yeah we really have faced off a helluva lot
98% of Warriors fans only watch Curry highlights, not actual games. No need to take their comments seriously.
I know but I have nothing else to talk about 🫠
FR. That Sengun incident happened because Steph wrapped his arm around Sengun. Sengun just moved himself out of Steph’s wrapped arm and it was obviously zero intent to injury.
Steph also hooked onto sengun to slow him down/enable the other player to slash for an easy bucket. He did it to himself
I mean did you watch the most recent rockets v warriors series where dillion brooks was slapping and swiping at Currys injured thumb. Like it’s not a secret that he was trying to aggravate his injury as much as possible.
Not saying that this past injury was cause by dirty play, but it’s reasonable to say that the rockets play very physical and often cross the line into making dirty plays.
Same series where Amen low bridges Jimmy and knocks him out of the game
Pretty sure draymond shoved him on that play into Butlers landing space
Nobody will debate that Dillon Brooks isn’t a dirty player but idk I just find it funny that Warriors fans cry so much when they’ve had Draymond “breaking the code” for a decade. Oh and they came back in a playoff series against the Spurs by intentionally injuring Kawhi too.
Dillon Brooks swiping at Steph’s wrist ain’t dirty?
Nobody would ever deny that Dillon Brooks is a dirty player. Draymond lost the Warriors a finals because he couldn’t stop hitting people in the balls though. And let’s not forget they snuck by the Spurs by intentionally injuring Kawhi too.
Amen Thompson is always trying to but hasn’t succeeded
Draymond about to do a flying kick to the head so he can take Wemby and himself out of this game
Warriors “fans” (who didn’t know basketball existed until 2016) complaining about Steph’s officiating - when their team employed the two dirtiest players in the league at the same time (Draymond and Zaza) - is hilarious.
These people are zero self awareness.
This sub has the biggest group of cry babies whining and bitching about everything
So true man. I’ve been eating up all these Lamelo highlights that have been posted but every comment is some “but I thought he wasn’t a winning player” snark bullshit. So boring
All NBA discourse is. Have you ever seen a highlight clip on social media where half the comments weren’t claiming travel? At least this sub mostly seems to enjoy the sport. Mostly.
Really? I feel like out of all the sports subs this one hates their sport the most. People here get more joy in celebrating loses and lowlights then actually enjoying the sport or giving credit to a winning team
That may be true. Certainly the baseball sub clearly loves the sport. But I do see genuine appreciation for great players here. Other social media is just raw hate though.
God forbid anyone enjoy the sport, lets get lowlights going
if ime said this warriors fans would unironically call for his job
lmao, just yesterday damn near every single one of them accused only the Rockets being a dirty team that uses this strategy in the league.
There’s a difference between playing dirty and trying to hurt people and what Yaxel is saying.
seriously suddenly we are all prescriptivist lit majors like he just means take the body and drive hard at him
Take this from someone who knows about English usage; 99% of the people on this sub have no idea what the fuck you just said.
Yeah Yaxel The Yapper yapping is serious business
A lot of people don’t understand the difference between playing physical and imposing your will vs just being dirty
I haven’t watched all the games but the only dirty player i remember is dillon brooks slapping steph’s injured hand that one playoff series
Most of it I’d imagine is what yaxel is talking about, just roughing him up
Luckily that’s not what Steph is facing either
You’d think he was MJ against the bad boy pistons the way warriors fans talk about it
I mean no hate towards any legit fan base but the Dubs probably have the most casuals of all specially with Steph never leaving the franchise
Lakers easilyyy. Dubs have been relevant like one year since 2019
Hard to say. I’ve loved watching Steph ever since his junior year at Davidson, so I watch as many GS games as I can.
And the Rockets were just trying to play physical against Steph as well. Literally no different than what Yaxel is saying here.
maybe there’s a difference playing hard on someone 7’5 vs 6’2 idk
edit- the biggest guy on the court (sengun) literally just injured the smallest guy on the court (curry) this was yesterday
-edit edit alright nvm guys i agree. let’s beat the shit out of him
Yes, 7’5” players are way more injury prone historically
not much data to go off of
edit: why are you giants attacking me
Maybe not just basketball, but larger frames typically wear out quicker. Not to mention how wiry wemby is.
It’s science not data. They have more leverage and torque. Higher impact force. Please stop commenting stupid stuff
Please elucidate that difference in a non moronic way
We’re waiting
Yeah they should go easier on smaller players like they are a charity case
Gotta make sure Steph is protected 🥺
Nice one. Someone 7’5 is more likely to be injured idiot
then why’d the biggest guy on the rockets injure the smallest guy on the warriors last night big boi
Why did my cousin win the lottery when its 1 in 14 million? What do you think more likely means? How does curry score 3s when 2s are more likely and easier?
lmao the aggression in this specific comment is killing me. you sound like such a goober
Eh I think it’s a lot different in Steph’s situation
Because in the playoffs, teams are basically given free range to foul/tackle/body slam/wrestle/slap/bear hug/jersey grab/hit Steph for the entire game and only a few of those ever get called for fouls so basically there like 50-100+ uncalled fouls on Steph per game
Not to mention guys like Dillion Brooks literally trying to injure him intentionally
So I think most folks kind of understand why Warriors fans get frustrated
I don’t think any player in the league gets a shittier whistle than Steph
The only thing they accomplished from that gameplan is roughing him up.
1⁄13 - Welcome to the NBA Yaxel
The spurs then proceeded to beat the warriors like a red-headed stepchild for 48 minutes
It’s funny how so many complain about players being media trained and then hate on the first genuinely authentic player we’ve got in years.
Reddit gonna Reddit
Did ant and Melo die
Hell nawl
Can’t do this
I think a lot of hit has to do with the fact that he went to Michigan and their reputation is in the gutter right now as a national brand, so people who pay attention to college basketball already disliked him.
I say bring the hatred in this league back. I’m done with the buddy buddy stuff and this new generation of players does not seem to like each other which I’m all for
I want to preface this by saying go green until I die, I hated Yax in college
Fuck man I love this guy, he’s hilarious and can actually mostly back up all the bullshit he says. That’s rare.
I’m a Michigan fan and I didn’t like him during his time in college either.
Go white, hate his ass, but I respect him. Just want Luka to drop 80 on him once
It’s one of the few old head takes I have about sports in general, but especially basketball. I much preferred it when players flat out didn’t like each other rather than friends that happen to play on other teams.
I think it’s more that he’s a rookie. I see another Poole situation
Some unfiltered people are endearing. Some are annoying. It’s not all the same
This guy’s annoying to you?
Not annoying, but it would add some weight to his words/actions if he had actually achieved something first. Otherwise it’s just cringy and eye rolling.
I’m missing some context here I guess cause I don’t know what’s eye rolling about a guy saying “I’m gonna try to shoot as many 3s as I can against the giant”
There’s a ton of jealous fans who wish they would’ve drafted him lol. If anyone knew him in real life they’d love him
First genuinely authentic in years is a stretch.
Dray been a genuine prick for a decade
What exactly did he say here that was so bad?
Nothing really, unless Wemby actually happens to get injured from contact by Yaxel..
Meh wemby put out a hit on mccain and the spurs had carter bryant trucking shai trying to take him out. Wemby can take some roughing up.
Yeah, I’m not getting why people are acting like he’s calling Wemby out. Sounds like he’s complimenting him as a rim protector and mentioned a big game he has had recently. It really amounts to basically sayings he’s a great rim protector so they want to draw him out to the three point line and play physical with him. I’m not sure how anyone could see his comment as a knock on Wemby at all.
He’s performing for engagement. Hardly authentic or original.
What a loser ass take bro come on 😭
It’s funny when people say insane shit like “Reddit gonna reddit” as if the hundreds of thousands of people that use this sub reddit are a monolith that all do and say the same thing at all times
He fake af
You don’t understand.
We want authentic players because they are fun to hate on.
Authentic as in stupid, sure
Its like people have different opinions. Some people likes a guy and some others dont. Weird world.
ive deadass seen this comment on every single yaxel thread
I mean, idgaf how he says things tbh, I just don’t get why people are swooning over him basically saying “yeah we’re the warriors, we’re gonna shoot 3’s” and “imma try to bait the help of the best defensive helper in the league”
like…yeah, that is gonna happen, and of course he’s gonna have to be “physical”, “rough him up” or whatever, Victor shouldn’t even be his defensive matchup in the first place
My son is 10 and Yaxel is his favorite player, hands down
Authenticity describe a person comfortable in their own skin and act themselves, it does not describe an insecure little man with a big mouth
Some people are authentically like that, but I do understand the need for people like you to think “authenticity” means “being humble and always saying the right thing”. That’s called curated authenticity and only losers believe it.
Edit: Also, talking shit does not automatically mean someone is insecure. Again, that is something internet nerds convince themselves of.
I’m unfamiliar. What position do Yaxel play ? Seems like 3 or 4. But big enough to play 5.
Usually 4 next to Dray, Horford, or Bassey. He has about 40 minutes at the 5 spot and 30 at the 3.
I guess Draymond got the “rough him up” part down.
Narrator: He did not, in fact, do any of that
With all this Yaxel hype and interviews, if feels like he is the round 1 number 1 pick, his stats is way better than the pick 1 & 2.
Hes 10 years older than the other rookies
I felt this way at first, but everyone’s path is different man let’s not use that as a negative
10? He’s old enough to be one of the rookies’ fathers
LeYaxel
Damn so he must’ve been playing as long and started at the same age as those rookies then right?
His parents were both high level basketball players.
Someone’s salty their team drafted a zero calorie shot chucker who couldn’t guard my 4 year old niece
There are a million reasons to be salty as a Kings fan but Acuff Jr is not one
He stinks bro trae young pt 2 🥱
26 ppg while more efficient than anyone else in the top 5 of the draft class? AJ caleb wilson and boozer not more efficient than acuff, and with 7 assits a game. Ydkb
Lmao. Acurf is actually good? Them letting him handle the ball and chuck is good for his development than what, giving lavine and sabonis shots? Those players clearly have no future in the team
He doesn’t play a lick of defense and will never be a winning player
Very happy with acuff. Enjoy your team full of overpaid role players.
Max contracts for everyone in Toronto
Lmk when you watch your team win a chip cause I had a lot fun doing so
1-10
we talking about acuff or fmvp jalen brunson
League is lucky he joined after already hitting his prime. If he joined 10 years ago he could’ve been MVP
Combined!
He’s on a team where they need him to play because they are step from sinking. Any other decent team he’d be rotting on the bench
you don’t think more teams could afford to give yaxel 20 minutes a night? i feel like he could get good minutes on any non contender right now to help him develop, and even some contenders too
That’s where the warriors are right now, drifting into being contenders maybe into non contenders really quick. Curryless warriors for a month aren’t going to do so hot now they have a tough schedule
Any team in the league would happily give meaningful rotation minutes to a guy averaging 22-7-4 on 64% TS.
And the Warriors are 8-4 because of it.
3 points on 1-13. Lmao
Oof -40 +/-
Aged like milk
They’re getting tossed
1-13 hahaha
i like this guy, its nice that someone isnt super filtered and fake
He seems like a cool dude, hopefully he continues to have a good rookie year
Rumble young man rumble! I like the confidence even if it backfires
I love this kid. Everyone is so media-trained these days that players always sound like their PR team wrote everything they say.
This kid doesn’t give a fuck. He reminds me of dudes like Chuck, AI, KG, etc.. They weren’t afraid to say what was on their mind even if it pissed people off. I hope he keeps talking his shit.
Amen!
Thompson isnt as unfiltered as Yaxel but i like him too
God bro he would fit so well with us, his personality is just loud and proud and that’s literally our whole team really. He’s a good player honestly I’m a Michigan fan so I knew about yaxel already but yea man ik we had no feasible way of getting him in the draft but he woulda been great to have.
this is how towns beat wemby in the finals its confirmed to be viable
Shoutout the New Jersey Dominican connection!
He’s more than a full-year older than Vic
It’s a quote. https://youtu.be/zhQss1cvvDg?is=5MDjiZWgvd6WGAk0
It was meant to be a fun reference to another famous athlete who talked a lot pregame/prematch. I’m well aware he’s older than Wemby!
In the grand scheme of life and even the nba 24 is a young man
-40. Dam
Seeing this now is kinda funny
Idc man, I like this guy. He’s not afraid to say anything, I know a lot of people will hate him, but hey, the NBA is more fun with villains
He’s not a villain, he’s just a young dude having fun living his dream. He should keep it up
Genuinely what have we come to when we call this kid villain. Like what. This guy is not a villain at all
He’s really just a goof ball who acts like a heel at times to entertain himself and others.
Luka said it best, he’s 24 and a rookie
His teammate is
hes not a villain bro hes a rookie starting hot and he stays true to himself in media why is that a crime
lol this was embiid before the sub turned on him
Embiid was Troell Embiid and would go out of his way to say personal things against other NBA players.
He grew up like 15 minutes from me, I love that he’s having so much success so far. Really cool story too as opposed to the many nepo babies who end up drafted in the first round.
many?
First round???
Name the nepo babies from the 1st round.
Yaxel is the perfect antihero of the NBA, he’s already amongst my favorite players in the league and we’re only like 10% into his rookie year
Checks out as a Boston fan.
Shut up you best-player-in-the-league-having ass..
But you have PG?
Are you showing that Luka is the best player right now?
You like the yappers
there was a joke about an indigent tribesman gliding down the the river in his canoe , singing about anything he sees. “what a beautiful trees, what a beautiful water, what a beautiful sky, and what an ass-ole fella tribesman, doing #2 in the bushes, he messed up such a beautiful song”
Sometimes it takes some brains to keep your mouth shut. Yaxsel clearly doesn’t have that important quality.
Seeing this is kinda funny now
Lets just say that this backfired. Horribly.
Wemby going to score 40 and make yaxel lose respect
It’s his first year. I’d say he’s performing way beyond expectations. I feel we need more players like him in the league to spice things up.
Confidence frightens the online people
He didn’t even think he’d be playing after high school, so I think he just genuinely enjoys being a student of the game. It’s brought him this far
Is he already better than Dililon Brooks? (in terms of player talent/ability to pot-stirring ratio)
Yaxel need an image that can match Brooks GOATed hate watch smile
Certainly a better player, but not better than Brooks in that department
They are different kinds of “spice” I must say. I want them both. But if I can chose just one more out of the two, I’d like another Yaxel lol.
He’s two years older than Wemby lol
Now, let’s only compare earthlings to earthlings pls.
Guess the flair challenge
Yaxel living rent free on one fandom.
I love it man, the sport is more fun when players chirp.
Exactly, man! Let them chirp, stop media training these kids.
I mean he is 7’7 according to this lol
Most predictable flair of all time lmao.
Wemby 42 points with 28⁄30 FTs and 6⁄8 FGA, i need it
That stat line should be called “The Harden” lol
Harden would never be 6⁄8. More like 6⁄20
Yea i remember one game he was like 5⁄17 but still ended up with 35+pts cause he shot like 25 fts 😭
I got two words for you: Wemby 30 ethical free throws
nope, i need them be unethical. uncalled push offs, shoulder bump pump fake, the whole shebang
And he can do it in 28 min
Dude qith the amount of FTs he’s had he will def lose respect
Absolutely nothing said here should be remotely controversial
I’m sure every single team facing Wemby is saying same thing internally. It’s not like Wemby doesn’t know this.
Just a reminder he lost respect bc of Luka’s whining not how talented he is
Just a reminder Luka went 1-8 against yax with the 1 being a halfcourt prayer
I want Yax to pop off, but what’s more likely is GSW just gets blown out
And this aged very well.
That guy is from the future.
It’s 26-5 and Wembys on the bench. Bahahahahah
36-15 spurs afrer 1Q this kid aint even score yet.
This yapping clown has 3 points so far and is like 1 in 13 and -40!
You say “so far” like he’s going back in lmao
Wait for it!
The modern day Jordan Poole
Lmao look at him now 1-8 from the field and -30. Everytime he shitalks he stinks up the place, he should keep his mouth shut from now on.
edit: 1-9 and -32
edit: 1-10 and -37 :‘)
1⁄13 game low -40 and 3 points lmaoooo
I’m gonna set a google alert for him talking shit to hammer his under on DK
He’s literally complimenting him in this post how media illiterate are the people in this subreddit brother I swear 😭
What shit talk is this? He said wemby is good at defending the rim so he was going to chuck shots which is what he did lol
“Oh, and try to rough him up as much as we can”
That’s what every team does to every star player
Might want to get off the internet bro if you think that’s talking shit , for your own good
Correct. That’s how you beat someone who’s tall and skinny. You play physical with them and try to tire them out.
Did you think he was talking about slide tackling him in the middle of the court?
Think of any other way to stop a guy who’s one foot taller than you and and probably better at everything and tell Yaxel
This isn’t shit talk
Agreed. He thinks he’s a superstar when he’s not even and star yet.
I think he’s literally just answering questions
[_] shit talk[x] you need to get off the internet
Bucks fans are without a doubt the most bitter and toxic fanbase. It’s nice to see it exposed to the world.
Exactly dude is not as good as he thinks he is, kinda over him getting all this media attention. But I get it. Gets clicks/views
