Hunter Dickinson finally did it. After seven long years of being college basketball’s biggest (and whiniest) villain, he finally got LinkedIn. You can even view his profile by clicking here. He also released an ad with the company, and admittedly, it’s absolutely hilarious.

“One minute, you’re getting college scholarship offers from coaches and doing brand deals for skincare products, then, it’s crickets,” Dickinson said in the ad. “Over 2,800 points, 1,500 rebounds and seven years of college eligibility, the NIL money’s dried up. So, preparing to end my career, I did what any athlete would do — I got on LinkedIn.”

Dickinson has often been criticized online for needing to move on from college basketball and go get an actual job. I mean, the guy is 24 years old and will be 25 in November. He should be working the phones at the office by now.

What job fits him the best? A professional clown, maybe? Whatever it is, Dickinson can now put that LinkedIn account to use and join the workforce like the rest of us.
