Even Blake Griffin Noticed When Chandler Parsons Roasted An ESPN Reporter On Twitter

AAU silliness is in high gear this summer, with Zion Williamson and LaMelo Ball packing tiny gyms, LeBron James stopping a game to fix the score and LaVar Ball up and quitting games on the gentlest of technical foul calls. But Chandler Parsons let his AAU silliness play out on Twitter and let his youngsters just go out there and play the game.

The Memphis Grizzlies forward tweeted that he was going to watch his AAU team play on Thursday and got a pretty cold response from ESPN “basketball insider” Jeff Goodman.

In an era where NBA players are openly wondering if AAU is good for developing NBA talent, that kind of comment didn’t sit well with Parsons. He quickly fired back, pointing out how low Goodman ranked him while he was scouted for the NBA.

It’s a pretty biting response to someone being critical out of nowhere. Even Blake Griffin saw that response and declared Parsons the winner in that exchange.

Goodman tries to fire back at Parsons, saying he wasn’t much of a player when he scouted him. But the battle is already lost for the ESPN reporter. Parsons won this round.

As BroBible points out, it’s not the first time Goodman has gone after Parsons on Twitter unprompted. Here’s a response to a tweet about the Florida Gators back in January.

Parsons getting flamed on social media is becoming something of a bad habit these days. Last season it was Joel Embiid who got into it with him on Instagram when a woman wanted him to check his DMs. It took Parsons a while to respond to Embiid’s claims that he was a “virgin,” but all that seemed to be in good fun.

It didn’t look like anyone was winking in this exchange, but Parsons clearly held his ground.
