Last Saturday evening, New York Knicks star Kristaps Porzingis tweeted (and later deleted) a message that raised suspicions that he may soon be joining the LA Clippers. The next day, he claimed his Twitter was hacked and that he was unaware of what had happened. Can we believe him? Or is it just a cover-up?
At first, Kristaps Porzingis’s announcement that his Twitter was hacked killed our moods and optimism. There are many of us that would love to see him come to the LA Clippers. However, is his claim of hacking something we can actually believe?
I was hacked last night and a post was made from my account. I have alerted twitter and they are looking into the incident.

Sure, hacking does occur nowadays, especially to celebrities. But of all the things you could do when hacking someone’s Twitter, why would you only tweet out something obscure about a fellow NBA team? Kristaps’ biggest defense? He doesn’t even use that emojii.
I would never tweet something like that. I dont even use that emoji smiley face. Cmon B 😂😂😂 pic.twitter.com/EXmtej5qzn

What makes this claim of hacking even more odd, is that his girlfriend, model Abi Ratchford,also tweeted, then deleted a very similar tweet. (NSFW) So, if they are both tweeting the same thing, were they both hacked? Seems very suspect to me.

Draymond Green Weighs In
Because of course he did. Draymond was asked about the Porzingis “hacking” incident and actually provided something pretty insightful.
If you don’t remember, Draymond sent out some pictures of his favorite place to kick on Snapchat. He quickly took them down and claimed hacking, but they had already hit the internet. It makes sense that in a panic a player would claim to be hacked instead of owning up to a mistake that big. So, does Draymond’s admission mean that KP will end up backtracking on his words? Maybe we will see The Unicorn in a LA Clippers uniform soon.
