Dikembe Mutombo deletes tweet congratulating Sixers on top NBA Draft pick

The fix may be in, but for once, it may be fixed in the 76ers favor.

Dikembe Mutombo posted a tweet Tuesday afternoon congratulating his former team on obtaining the first pick via the 2016 NBA draft lottery -- which isn't scheduled to start until 8 p.m. EST.

And then he deleted it.

But don't worry, the Internet doesn't forget.

Dikembe Mutombo tweeted the NBA lottery winner hours before it was supposed to be revealed

By the time Mutombo back-posted a correction, the controversy ball -- pardon the pun -- was already rolling.
