A so-called fan posted a video recently essentially trashing Kentucky freshman center Malachi Moreno. The “fan” even referenced Moreno’s mother.
Today, Moreno gave some thoughts on the controversial video.
“I usually don’t pay attention to things like that, but when you bring my fam, like you can say whatever you want about me, but when you bring my mom into it, you bring my family into it, that’s not okay with me,” Moreno said.
Moreno said it means a lot to him that Big Blue Nation has rallied around him after the video came out.
Kentucky freshman center Malachi Moreno said he saw the now-deleted video where a fan referenced his mother while criticising his play.
Moreno: "That's not OK."

Here’s the video that Moreno was responding to:
I get that Moreno had a bad game yesterday, but if you’re a grown man on the internet calling an 18 year old kid a loser, then bring up his mom as well…maybe it’s time to step away from Kentucky basketball for a bit.
These are the fans people talk about. pic.twitter.com/BxmXmqlaWM
