Joe Budden Proclaims Himself To Be “General Manager Of The Year” Amid Fan Jokes

by

Joe Budden is at the top of the hip-hop media world right now, with a very successful podcast dishing out hot takes and talking about the state of the culture. A lot of folks tune in to hear what he and his co-hosts have to say, and it looks like their recent onboarding of Marc Lamont Hill has him feeling pretty gassed up. “GM of the year,” the rapper and podcaster tweeted this week, which led to a couple of confused reactions. Some just hated on Joe because that’s what they do, others needed a clarifier on what “GM” means, and a few folks either assumed this was about something else or clowned his fantasy football performance. Either way, most people just expressed excitement and support concerning Hill’s participation.

We wonder what the Joe Budden Podcast collaborator will have to say about its titular host’s perspective, such as a recent rant on Gunna and the Young Thug beef speculation. “All this principle and moral s**t, I’m sick of it,” he shared on the podcast about Thugger supposedly playing both sides due to his financial and contractual bond with Wunna not lining up with the public narrative. “N****s is out here doing s**t for the dollar that’s better than them. I’ve been fighting trial with the most high-priced lawyers in the universe, I’m taking care of a million n***as… You would be a fool to turn down your top-tier act or say ‘Yo, I’m standing on principle, I’m not taking a dollar from you.’”

Joe Budden Is Feeling Like The “GM Of The Year”

Of course, The Joe Budden Podcast includes divisive statements from every single participant, and it makes for some engaging discussion. We’ve seen them evolve over time when it comes to the big debacle around Lil Wayne, Kendrick Lamar, and the upcoming Super Bowl halftime show, for example.

So no matter what the haters might say, Joe Budden should definitely feel proud of what he and his team have accomplished. Sure, sometimes they get to hating as well, but it’s never without an explanation or some significant pushback that they go over. In any case, it’s one hack of a team.

Bronny James Torn Apart By Anonymous NBA GM & Scout After Entering Draft: “He Should Go Back To School”

by

Bronny James has had all eyes on him ever since he announced he would be heading to USC and even during high school. However, the support for LeBron’s oldest son seems to be dwindling by the second, especially since he announced he would be entering the NBA Draft. It was a pretty shocking report considering how much he struggled offensively (4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 2.1 assists). But he does have some strong defensive prowess, so perhaps that was enough for him to test his luck. He is able to stay in school if things do not play out and that seems to be the trajectory he is on right now. According to TMZ Sports and The Ringer, teams might want to skip on Bronny James in the upcoming draft.

“Bronny is nowhere near ready. He should go back to school to develop at his own pace or he risks getting lost in the shuffle, whether or not he’s playing with his dad.” Those were the words on anonymous NBA general manager to The Ringer this morning. Kevin O’Connor interviewed one GM, a front office executive, and a scout from separate organizations to get a larger gauge on Bronny and if skills could translate to the big leagues.

This NBA GM Kept It A Buck On Bronny James’ Draft Stock

There is some optimism for him, as he is built and in great physical condition even with his scary heart issue before the season began. But the shooting percentages are a major concern. “Bronny is an undersized non-shooting guard. The shot looks good but doesn’t go in. Those guys scare me the most,” the scout said. “It’s either lack of touch or mental, and either way those take years to correct.” At the moment, Bronny is not on the 2024 Draft board and is projected to be a second round look in 2025.

What are your thoughts on this anonymous NBA GM saying Bronny is not ready for the NBA? Do you see him being successful at the pro level if he does enter the draft, why or why not? What do you think LeBron’s son should do? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.
