Former Tennessee Vols basketball standout Grant Williams was majorly trolled by the internet this week, but the joke was really on everyone that was doing the trolling.
Williams, a former first-round pick by the Boston Celtics who has carved out a spot in the NBA as a key role player, was one of the guests this week at a lavish July 4 party in the Hamptons that was thrown by Fanatics CEO Michael Rubin.

So while those fans are tweeting insults at Williams, he's rubbing shoulders with Jay-Z, Kevin Hart, and Beyonce.
I doubt those "mean tweets" will be hurting Williams' feelings.
