Brandon Paul, former San Antonio Spurs player, responded to social media trolling after Chris Paul joined his ex-team.
Chris Paul reportedly signed a one-year deal as NBA free agency began. Known for wearing the No. 3 jersey, he shares the number with Brandon Paul, who wore it during his 64 games for the Spurs in 2017-18.
It sparked one post on X directed at Spurs fans.
“Great news for all Spurs fans who kept their Brandon Paul jerseys,” college football writer Steve Helwick wrote on the social media platform with a picture of the former NBA player.
Brandon Paul had a message of his own.
“The only thing worst than being trolled online is being trolled online by people with blue check marks that work at like Menards,” he wrote.
The former basketball player handled the trolling well and even complimented Helwick’s initial post.
“Haha no no it’s all love brother. I meant the comments – but this here is comedic gold I appreciate you for sharing,” he added.
