Old tweets have become a hallmark of professional sports drafts.
Charlie McAvoy drafted by the Bruins? BAM: Old tweet about how he hates the Bruins is retweeted.
Mitch Trubisky gets drafted? BAM: Old tweet about him being a horny high-schooler is retweeted.
Now, after the Celtics won the right to draft Markelle Fultz, an old tweet from the Washington guard has gone viral, and it’s got something of a Celtics spin on it.
The 2013 tweet, which has the caption, “Shut up lebron [sic],” contains a Vine of Fultz telling LeBron James that he’s going bald while watching a postgame interview.
The full transcript:
“Man, shut up, LeBron.”
Boston Celtics
“You can’t even see your hairline, fool.”
