Draymond Green Falling For A Fake NBA Tweet And Getting In A Beef With Kevin Garnett Over It Is Another Example Of Why Elon's Twitter Is Cooked

I'm tired of Elon's Twitter man. Sure, we can try and teach social media literacy, but as we know common sense isn't that common. In a world of whatever variation of Ballsack Sports is out there that day, this happens where we see some athlete or media personality fall for what is clearly #fakenews. This is the NBA version of starting a nuclear war all from a fake tweet.  I never thought I'd say this, but Kevin Durant said it best:

Draymond just had a banger episode of the #1 NBA show out Pat Bev Pod with Rone that dropped today, so maybe we can excuse him for falling for a fake quote this time. But imagine if he didn't tweet through it and they just have some unresolved beef that was caused from some random kid trolling on a fake NBA Central account? Elon is all for free speech and whatever but these parodies are out of hand. If only we had a verification system that could be implemented to fix these kinds of problems. Some of us grew up on Twitter and haven't read a newspaper or a reliable source of info in years! My parents had the Times. I have Woj, Shams, and checks notes Buttcrack Sports.

It's a little surprising KG took the high road and didn't send Draymond into Bolivian like the master troll he once was, but retirement seems to have chilled him out. New media and traditional media are more similar than we thought in that fake news is everywhere, but at least they have a journalism degree and not just an iPhone with the bird app downloaded. Might be time to put the phone down for all of us. We've reached the endgame.
