Philadelphia 76ers: Looking back at Burnergate one year later

365 days.

That’s how long it’s been since Ben Detrick published an exposé of current Philadelphia 76ers general manager Bryan Colangelo on The Ringer, “The Curious Case of Bryan Colangelo and the Secret Twitter Account,” that set the basketball world on fire. Detrick’s article alleged via Twitter screenshots and evidence from within the Philadelphia 76ers organization that Bryan Colangelo was operating five burner Twitter accounts, which he used to tweet critiques of his own team and disclose private medical information.

On June 7, 2018, ten days after Detrick’s original article was published, Bryan Colangelo resigned from his position as general manager.
