On the day of his SB Nation Hall of Fame induction for tweeting excellence, Tony Allen gave us a great Twitter moment. Let’s walk through it:
Tony Allen claims Twitter hacked, everyone believes him
Tony Allen is the first athlete to actually get hacked on Twitter.

1. Following the announcement that Kevin Durant will skip the FIBA World Cup, Allen’s account tweets this about teammate and Spanish national team participant Marc Gasol, then quickly deletes it:
Deleted, but… we’re all with you TA RT @aa000G9: Now only if Marc Gasol would take a summer off...
— Kevin Lipe (@FlyerGrizBlog) August 7, 2014 2. Tony seems rather surprised:
Are u guys talking about
— Tony Allen (@aa000G9) August 7, 2014 What !
— Tony Allen (@aa000G9) August 7, 2014 (Yes, in that order.)
3. Tony claims he was hacked, the go-to excuse for regretful celebrities:
I was hacked .......
— Tony Allen (@aa000G9) August 7, 2014 4. ...except, because it’s Tony Allen, we all believe him. He even appears to (accurately?) single out the person who did it somehow. The logic checks out on two counts:
That ain't my style ...I'm O.G if I want 2 say something about someone ....trust me they gone know face 2 face
— Tony Allen (@aa000G9) August 7, 2014 Yeah.
@ChrisVernonShow lol
— Tony Allen (@aa000G9) August 7, 2014 Yeah.
5. Back to business as usual.
But back 2 the proceedings. ...ain't nobody got time for that.....
— Tony Allen (@aa000G9) August 7, 2014
So yeah, if Tony Allen’s going to jab at a teammate, he’ll probably do it in person in the face. And if he does do it on Twitter, you’ll probably! be,, able to: tell.
