lol Vine died years ago, how is this appearing now? Or are they just associating where he's known from?

The article plainly states that he has scores of IG and YT followers. This just happened and is being reported accordingly. I'm just surprised that the Huddle didn't know that Will had a famous brother. If nothing else, it would provide fodder for offhanded humor.

Social media personalities don't count as "celebrities". 

That's an old man's opinion. These people aren't paid millions in certain cases for nothing. I will concede that not every social media personality is a celebrity, but some of them certainly are. Perhaps it's more appropriate to refer to Grier as an "internet celebrity" (which has a its own wiki) or "social media celebrity" but it's basically semantics. Tell some of these millennials that Jake Paul and Logan Paul aren't celebrities, and they'll laugh in your face. Tell some of these tweens and teen girls, much less young women, that Amber Scholl isn't a celebrity, and you're likely to get some snarky remarks.

I am an old man, and I don't really give a sh-t about celebrities in general, but internet celebrities even less so.

I'm like three months younger than you, and I am not an old man, yet. I respect celebrities for their values, or not, but don't assign them any more human value than anyone else for the most part.

Ah that makes sense.

 

Nah I never knew Grier had a "famous" younger brother. I keep my info consumption to the minimum. Irrelevant info gets overlooked.

    • Bleacher Report trade and mock has us trading to 9 and picking SG Brayden Burries Charlotte Hornets recieve: Kyrie Irving and No. 9 pick Dallas Mavericks receive: LaMelo Ball, No. 14 pick and No. 18 pick The Hornets just finished their sixth season with Ball. It was only their second with a winning record, their sixth without a playoff trip and the sixth in which someone else paced them in win shares (Kon Knueppel this time around). While they'd surely like to keep building on their second-half momentum, maybe they're just unconvinced that Ball can lead a winning team. Maybe they credit that stretch run less to him and more to the addition of Knueppel, the ascension of Brandon Miller and some out-of-nowhere gains on the defensive end.   Charlotte should be dreaming big right now, and perhaps it believes a steadier hand at point guard is needed to realize that. Or maybe it feels it needs a little more time to bring everything together and thinks that task would be simpler without Ball's money on the books and with a top-10 pick in a loaded draft instead of two selections in the mid-teens.   Either way, this shakeup works. Short-term, a healthy Irving should be far easier to follow than Ball. You may not always know if Irving is playing, but you know what you'll get if he does: elite shotmaking, all-time handles, offensive ingenuity and the ability to work both on and off the ball. He could show this young roster what's required to win for a year or two (he has a $42.4 million player option for 2027-28) or even stick around longer if the partnership proves especially fruitful.   The Hornets also add a building block in Burries, who offers both plug-and-play polish and flashes of shot-creation that hint at star potential. In short, they could better their chances of winning both now and in the future while collecting both the best player in the trade and the highest draft pic
    • I'd hire him in a heartbeat. Hell if he wanted the job, I'd have Canales packing his poo right now and I don't dislike Canales. It's just that firing a 106-58 coach is crazy work. That's a 65% winning percentage. That's the equivalent of averaging 11 wins a season. That's incomprehensible for a fanbase That's never experienced back to back winning seaons.
