Twitter Fight! Not Really

by DexterFishmore on Jan 11, 2010 10:43 PM PST in News

Just wanted to alert you peeps to some fun going down online right now. As you might recall, last night there was some jawing back and forth between Jordan Farmar and Brandon Jennings. Jennings has long been an avid Tweeter, and tonight Jordan has taken to teh Intertubes to battle the Bucks rookie. Jennings' Twitter feed (@yungbuck3) can be found here, Jordan's (@jfarmar1) is here.

A sample of the action so far.

From Jordan to Jennings: Am not here to start nothing. You were talking smack on here wanted to clear some air. Look at the bling, done proved myself.

And a response from Jennings: but I'm not going to beef with you. See you should be worried about your spot. Shannon Brown??? That's all imma say

Ha. Good times.

Jordan's account hasn't been verified yet, but he claims it will be soon. In the meantime, pass the popcorn.

UPDATE: Ah, crap. Farmar's account is a fake. Still amusing that Jennings treated it as the real thing. Boooo.

what’s Jennings doing with Byron Scott’s old ’do? Or is that his Kendall Gill impersonation?

or anyone who played in the NBA from the early 90's

Misleading information is misleading! Here I thought you were going to post something about the Bosh deal going through. Hmmph

Farmar’s rebuttal to Jennings.

@YUNGBUCK3 You started with the smack talking, and I ended it with the 2 threes. We even? Cool

I think this is fake

Also, box score shows Farmar went 1-3 from long distance on the night.

Dammit Jordon. How about putting in some extra shooting practice. You ain’t a rookie no more. Start acting like it!

Haha

Got to love it from Jordan. We all know he’s the top PG out of LA right now. Jennings thinks he’s legit because he dropped 55 in one game. He’s been awful ever since. Get em Jordan.

We are giving some douchebage way more pub than he will ever deserve

I feel dirty for partaking in this thread.

It’s gonna be some 30 year old guy living in his mothers basement trying to get people to pay attention to him by impersonating some scrub on a basketball team.

This truly is a sign of the apocalypse

Brandon Jennings rebuttal is so true; that's why this is hilarious. This was good find, Dex.

Sometimes I think things are taken too serious

Personally for me this is funny and entertaining. It’s dumb but somehow interesting. I put this up there with some of the comments Artest has made in terms of entertainment.

As a side note, I would say that if I had a chance to pick one I would pick Jennings over Farmar on my team any day of the week. Jennings the rookie is better than Farmar the 3 year veteran. In 3 years Jennings will much better than Farmar ever has been.

Um ... yeah

I don’t think there’s any question about this. Jennings was considered by some to be the best high school player in America two years ago. The only reason he was drafted so low was because he went to Europe for a year instead of college, and supposedly struggled. He could very easily have been a top 5 pick.

Farmar, on the other hand, was picked late in the 1st round, and even that was considered a bit of a stretch pick for L.A., one that has worked out pretty well, despite the attitude problems Farmar may have.

The point is that I don’t think anybody ever considered Farmar to be on Jennings’ level.

Not necessarily true...I'm basing my comment on other posts I have read since the Lakers played the Bucks.

Rather than quote someone or reply to someone’s post I rather state my opinion seperately because as you know how that goes when I don’t agree with someone else and they end up taking it personal. I’m staying away from that. But, I think I have read enough posts on SSR that state the contrary. But again, that is just my opinion. Not calling anyone out.

As Lakers fans naturally we are going to defend Farmar but some posts have indicated that Farmar shouldn’t bother trash talking with a rookie as if Jordan is a better player when in reality Farmar can’t even hold Jennings’ jock strap.

I seriously doubt there's a Laker fan in such complete denial

That they think Farmar is better than Jennings. Even if Ellis and Watson played matador defense on Farmar for an entire game, I’d doubt he’d put up more than 30, let alone 55.

To secure ourselves against defeat lies in our own hands, but the opportunity of defeating the enemy is provided by the enemy himself.
