lol I remember somebody calling his PR people really dumb for doing so in one of the game threads.

He admitted right after the game that it was the same friend that was in his "Amare for All-Star" ads last year. He knew it was going to happen.

This is why I hate Stern, instead of making a league rule banning twitter during games they should just let every team decide whether to ban it or not.
In most cases I don't think it's harmful unless they're giving away team secrets.

Well hopefully Amare's should be rescinded, because the rule is that player's are not allowed to Tweet, not an account. It wasn't Amare.

Stern uses it to pay for his hookers.

This man uses it to snort blow with his refs.

EDIT: Figured I wouldn't be the only one with this response on the Suns board :lol:

I highly doubt amare has ever typed ONE of his tweets - they seem so scripted and commercial, its just ghost tweeting trying to build his image

Jrich i believe has tweeted himself, but there is also proof that he has ghost tweets also

if youre going to ghost tweet, thats cool, but be open about it
