Lakers Big Man Claps Back at Haters on Social Media

The Los Angeles Lakers have a lot of haters on social media and Montrezl Harrell decided to deliver a message.

Harrell was pretty busy in the past few weeks, but he always has time for those who criticize him on social media.

“Aye I know I’m doing some right because every day I open this app someone hating on some I’m doing,” Harrell said with a bunch of crying laughing emojis. “God bless you all. Have a blessed week.”

The Lakers big man admitted that comments on social media affect him. During the exit interview, he talked about the backlash he received when his team was eliminated. The veteran doesn’t like when someone mentions his deceased grandmother. Things got really nasty when LA left the playoffs.

“I find every day challenging, brother,” Harrell told reporters, per SB Nation. “Especially when there’s dummies out there, heartless people who get on social media and just say the things that they say. I still get people, even to last night had people have the nerve to get on social media and say ‘f my grandmother.’ Which they wouldn’t dare say to my face in any circumstance.”

Harrell had a decent game in 2021. He had 13.5 points and 6.2 rebounds per game on 62.2% shooting. The veteran has a $9.72 player option for the upcoming season.

The Lakers big man will deal with haters on social media again

Will Harrell join the Lakers next season? He didn’t say much about his potential return, but his recent comments didn’t really make us believe that he will stay with the team.

“I came in every day, I did my job, I did what they asked me to do,” Harrell said. “I played my role. It’s as simple as that. As far as my future, I don’t know that holds right now. We just finished playing last night, so I can’t give you that answer right now brother, but I came in, I did my job and whenever my number was called I went out there, played to the best of my abilities and left it all on the floor.

“… far as my future with being a Lakers basketball player, we’ll worry about that later when free agency time rolls around, brother.”
