Sixers’ Amir Johnson hasn’t been afraid to defend himself on Twitter this season

After the Sixers beat the Chicago Bulls, 127-108, in their home opener, Johnson tried to get some sleep. In the wee hours of the night, he woke up. He was still recovering from the team's trip to China, and his sleep was irregular, so he started scrolling through Twitter.

For all the Philly fans who were complaining about Johnson being on the court, he clapped back with quips such as, "Jeeish, I'm glad you not GM," and when one fan asked why Johnson was on the team he responded, "They paid me."

He kept going, thanking those who praised him, conceding when someone was right, and offering some light debate where he thought it was warranted.
