Fans try to tie burner Twitter accounts to Bryan Colangelo
Bryan Colangelo has already called Joel Embiid to deny that he was the one who criticized the star center and wrote other unflattering things from various anonymous Twitter accounts, but fans are committed to proving that the Philadelphia 76ers executive is a liar.
Shortly after an in-depth article from Ben Detrick of The Ringer accused Colangelo of criticizing his team from a handful of burner Twitter accounts, fans began providing evidence that the accounts do, in fact, belong to the same person.

Sorry, Bryan. Got you.
Went to “reset password” and tried three of his burners. Every single one has a phone number ending in 91. This is clearly not a coincidence.

Three of the five twitter accounts referenced in the @ringer report (@s_bonhams, @honesta34197118, @AlVic40117560) have a recovery phone number that end in 91, suggesting they were run by the same individual. (h/t to @OhWowHmm).

Colangelo confirmed that the Twitter account with the handle @phila1234567 belongs to him and that he uses it “to monitor our industry and other current events,” and that account has a different phone number associated with it.

This is the one he said he uses so it makes sense that he used his personal email and phone. Since it doesn't match the others it doesn't prove anything

bpcolangelo@gmail.com adds up, especially since his full name is Bryan Paul Colangelo.

Embiid and one former Sixers player have said they do not believe all the accounts belong to Colangelo, but the public seems to have made up its mind. We’ve already seen an entertaining Wikipedia hack that stemmed from the bombshell story, and Colangelo is sure to be mocked much more ruthlessly in the coming days.
