then telling teams that the NFL isn't even your top priority

That's not what he said.  He grew up playing basketball and was a really good player.  He said his dream was to play in the NBA.  Obviously, that isn't how things worked out for him.  If NFL coaches and GMs were turned off because a 21 year old kid talked about his dream then that's really stupid.

The weight and the multiple no-shows are actual concerns.  Not the basketball stuff.

It's not like the Cleveland Cavaliers are gonna offer him a contract that he'll choose over playing in the NFL. 
He shook my hand breed tub and walked away

I'm glad we passed on him...is really what all this boils down to.

And you're right, he didn't say those exactly words....but i guarantee  you that's how teams interpreted it, especially after the Senior Bowl and Pro Day fiascos.

Football guys don't want to acknowledge the existence of things outside football. They want football to be your only priority.

Oh god, remember when Brick's commitment to the game was questioned because he spent time as a youth pastor and liked playing the saxophone?

Laken Tomlinson had something similar since he was into the medical field.

That's a very stupid reason to turn on a prospect

It was also a stupid answer.
