KIDS THESE DAYS.

Wilbon also re-tweeted a fan who asked, “Why is Javale McGee even there?” As Wilbon said, “That is a great question!” Now, it’s fair to say that Wilbon was being kind of a humorless prick about all this. But knowing Javale “Pierre” McGee, do we think he handled the slights with the maturity of a seasoned veteran, or a foolish rookie?

Ahhh, yes. Keepin' it as immature as possible. Maybe offensive, definitely pretty stupid. And THAT is the Javale McGee we all know and love. Err... Pierre. He's Pierre now, right?

REAL TALK. There can be no winners in the battle between the stuckup columnist complaining about people’s clothes and the athlete who calls said columnist gay, but even if Wilbon v. McGee has no clear winner, Javale-Pierre’s definitely the biggest loser, right?
