Shams Charania @ShamsCharania
In speaking to 76ers president Bryan Colangelo tonight in Los Angeles, Colangelo says he stands by his statement: No knowledge of “motives or origin.”

@wojespn
Maybe there’s an IT person who can prove it wasn’t Bryan Colangelo, but here’s one of his biggest problems in disputing Ringer story: Those tweets reflected not only private team biz, but launched personal beefs/jealousies/frustrations that he’s shared inside and outside 76ers.
Two days later I get a text back that says I'm a basketball player and a businessman, not a Thundercat.

How do you think that would be possible unless it is truly other people doing this.


I’m pretty stupid when it comes to the twitters, how do people know it was him doing it?


What sealed it for me is that the ringer had all 5 accounts, but told the sixers about 2 (or was it 3?) they copped to one, that had no activity, and then the others "reacted" by going private, unfollowing people. Then combined with the similar outside the box follows. If that ain't him, it's a really bad coincidence


Yeah that’s not good, thanx pals for breaking it down


Good recap from reddit

Here's the evidence:

The accounts follow a lot of players on the University of Chicago team that Colangelo's son plays on

One of the tweets references seeing Wade and Union in Beijing where Colangelo is known to have been at the time

An anonymous source claiming to have identified these accounts using AI technology said “To me, there is no conceivable world where that is not Bryan Colangelo, himself, Not his wife, not his son, not his dad.”

The three newest accounts followed half of the same people

The accounts are all extraordinarily pro Colangelo and anti Hinkie/Majiri/Embiid/Okafor/Noel

The accounts are similar syntactically and use a lot of the same language.

The accounts disclose information about the 76ers that was not available to the public.

And, most damning of all, after tipping Colangelo on two of the five accounts, he confirmed that one of them was his. All five accounts went dark simultaneously, even though Colangelo had only been asked about two of them.

Yeah, this last one got him. They tricked him and he got caught.

Said Okafor failed a physical
Tweeted at gabby union that she was mean at the london olympics
Asked hinkie if he was enjoying teaching at stanford
responded to a tweet about embiid dancing at that concert that he wanted to kick his butt
said his collar was normal

among other things.
