Frank Isola and McLovin from Superbad display the perfect chaos of Knicks Twitter
A great Knicks moment happened during the playoffs!
No, the Knicks didn’t somehow assume the role of one of the playoff teams. A succinct Twitter beef happened between New York Daily News Knicks writer Frank Isola and Christopher Mintz-Plasse, whom most will know as McLovin from Superbad.
The one thing to note is that Mintz-Plasse didn’t mention Isola’s Twitter handle, so he must have either searched up his last name hoping that he didn’t miss a mention or he caught one of the 10 retweets in his timeline.
Nevertheless, Isola went all in and started making fun of Mintz-Plasse for being a part of Superbad. Mintz-Plasse’s retort was straight out of Knicks Twitter, even including the hashtag #InPhilWeTrust. He must be a die hard fan. You can especially tell that the actor is passionate based on the all caps. How else could he express that he was mad online?
@FisolaNYDN I I DONT FIND THIS CLEVER, GET NEW JOB OUTSIDE OF KNICKS AND NEVER BOSTON #inphilwetrust

Isola kept going and mocked the other films Mintz-Plasse was in. For the record, Pitch Perfect is an amazing film, so I understand why Mintz-Plasse would get mad at it. Stop mocking a modern thespian, Isola!
@FisolaNYDN PITCH PERFECT IS A GEM AND LOVED BY MILLIONS WHICH NOBODY CAN SAY ABOUT YOUR REPORTS FOR THE KNICKS

The exchange goes on. Isola trolls Mintz-Plasse, and Mintz-Plasse goes on an almost-scripted pro-Knicks rant. It’s so good that it’s almost too good to be true, especially when you consider Mintz-Plasse’s pinned tweet.
You know what's dope? Saying positive things to people and being supportive.

These tweets aren’t necessarily positive, but they are supportive when seen through the perspective of Knicks Twitter. It turns out that the beef was too good to be true. Mintz-Plasse was really just channeling his inner Knicks fan, and it’s evident if you read those tweets as though someone is calling in to a radio show.
What an absurd look into the chaos that is Knicks Twitter. But even this online performance gave all of us a lesson we can take home.
@CamThePerson @FisolaNYDN ITS FUNNY. ITS FUN. ITS TWITTER. IT DOESNT MATTER.

We often say never Tweet, but Mintz-Plasse and Isola should definitely continue tweeting.
