Justin Timberlake has been called many things in his life. But he has a thick skin, and never lets his detractors bring him down. He probably didn't even cry while listening to The Marshall Mathers LP — probably. "Bandwagon" fan, though? That's new. And JT no likey.

Observe this Twitter interaction after Timberlake's Memphis Grizzlies (literally, he's a part-owner) put a whoopin' on the Houston Rockets Monday night.

One word. How could that possibly be controversial?

Oh, right. This is the Internet.

Boom. To borrow from another NBA owner — Brooklyn's Mikhail Prokhorov — "Don't let the door hit you where the good Lord has split you," Zach. But wait. There's more:

Uh-oh. Big guns are out. Apparently JT is a "closet" Los Angeles Lakers fan. Heck, the photo we picked out at the top of this story features Timberlake giving Kobe Bryant a high five at a Lakers game!

But Justin doesn't care about this scandal. He's already packing for his upcoming #JT2020 Tour.
