Last week the world was introduced to four anonymous Twitter accounts — Eric Jr, Still Balling, Enoughunkownsources, and HonestAbe. The accounts posted multiple disparaging remarks about Sixers players, coaches, and executives.
On Thursday, those accounts, and the person behind them, Barbara Bottini, proved to be reason that Bryan Colangelo would no longer be employed as the general manager of the 76ers.
Bottini, Colangelo’s wife, admitted to investigators that she was the one who started and used the burner accounts, a conclusion that internet sleuths had already come to days before Colangelo’s resignation was announced.
