As a PC nigga, it’s wild seeing PC niggas do that thing where they act like everyone can just buy a PC willy nilly. Like the entire issue with gaming isn’t affordability rn☠️
@415c0rnd0g Yeah that might be the only other one but I think it’s due to how out of left field it was. With Jaylen, they’re on espn talking about how the team and front office secretly hate him and he’s a disease
People in the NBA believe Jaylen Brown has a "disease" where he thinks he’s the smartest person in the room, per @colincowherd
“I had two NBA sources … two people in the league, one an executive, one a scout, say that Jaylen Brown has — it’s a disease. He suddenly thinks he’s the smartest guy in every room he’s in ... You make a lot of money, suddenly you’re absolutely sure, you don’t wanna listen to your bosses, you don’t wanna listen to consultants, you don’t wanna listen to teammates.”
