Again, it's unclear exactly who was responsible for the replies, whether it be Scott or someone else. However, Scott said earlier this season that he doesn’t go on social media — Instagram in particular — any longer because of “angry fans.” He indicated that a family member handles his accounts for him.

“She says she’s trying to hold her tongue and not respond,” Scott told ESPN’s Baxter Holmes in November. “And I tell her, look, don’t respond back to anybody. Because she’s family, she takes it personal. And I don’t read it because I know me — I take it personal and I might say something and I don’t want to get into that with people.”

“That’s why I don’t go on my Instagram and all that stuff, because as [she] would tell me, a lot of them are pissed off and hot and all this and then you’ve got some that are very supportive…”

If that is indeed the case and a family member is handling Scott’s social media accounts as opposed to him, it would be a good idea for the Lakers coach to have a chat with her before she casts him in a negative light by challenging another troll to a fight in the comments section of a post.
