A story came out by ‘The Ringer‘, talking about the mysterious case of Bryan Colangelo and his secret Twitter accounts. According to the report, Colangelo was using five fake Twitter accounts to support his work in Philadelphia.
Philadelphia 76ers‘ General Manager, however, denied that he was involved in four different accounts, as ESPN reported, but confirmed that one of the five accounts is owned by him.
“Like many of my colleagues in sports, I have used social media as a means to keep up with the news,” the statement said. “While I have never posted anything whatsoever on social media, I have used the @Phila1234567 Twitter account referenced in this story to monitor our industry and other current events. This storyline is disturbing to me on many levels, as I am not familiar with any of the other accounts that have been brought to my attention, nor do I know who is behind them or what their motives may be in using them.”
Joel Embiid took some shots from these fake accounts, but as Adrian Wojnarowski reported, Colangelo called him to let him know that it wasn’t him tweeting: “I talked to him and he said that he didn’t say that,” Embiid said. “He called me just to deny the story. Gotta believe him until proven otherwise. If true, though, that would be really bad.
The tweets used from these fake accounts criticized Sixers players, questioned Markelle Fultz’s shooting ability and also took some shots at Toronto Raptors‘ president, Masai Ujiri.
