A Maryland-based seafood restaurant took some savage shots at Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine via Twitter on Sunday.
The exchange began when a fan expressed tweeted at Jimmy’s Famous Seafood and asked them to open a restaurant in Chicago. They joked that they’ll open up a restaurant in Chicago if Michael Jordan comes out of retirement. In response, the fan asked if they could swap MJ with LaVine, who just signed a four-year, $78 million offer sheet with the team. Jimmy’s responded by saying the money on LaVine was “wasted.”
How about you give us the 78 mil you wasted on LaVine, and we give you free crab cakes for life?

LaVine shrugged off the shade from Jimmy’s by saying he was allergic to shellfish.
I’m allergic to shellfish anyway

Jimmy’s was relentless and didn’t stop there. Then they took a shot at him over his defense. LaVine could only laugh in response.

LaVine will now enter the season with a chip on his shoulder. He’ll have to prove Jimmy’s wrong and that the Bulls made a good investment.
