Bobby Portis, Arkansas Fans Not Happy With Malik Monk to Kentucky

The ugliness of the Internet was on display Wednesday soon after Malik Monk announced he would become the latest probable one-and-done player to head to Kentucky. The 6-foot-3 lead guard is an Arkansas native and the fact that he picked SEC rival Kentucky over Arkansas didn’t go over well with some. Arkansas native and Chicago Bulls forward Bobby Portis chimed in with this Tweet:

I didn't need Kentucky to make it to the NBA but thats none of my business?☕️

Meantime, somebody (presumably angry Arkansas fans) messed with Marcus Monk’s Wikipedia page, writing, “Just leave Arkansas now, traitor.”
