Twitter Reacts: Dikembe Mutumbo Tweet

The Philadelphia 76ers are looking for that top overall pick. At 8 pm on Tuesday night, we’ll know for sure who has won the NBA Draft Lottery, and if Sam Hinkie’s plan has payed off.

Around 4:45 pm on the evening of the Draft Lottery, former Sixer and Hall of Famer Dikembe Mutumbo Tweeted that the Sixers had won the Lottery, saying congratulations. There are many reasons that this could have happened, but no matter the reason, Twitter exploded with reaction to the “news” that Mutumbo had broken.

First up was the Sixers’ own Joel Embiid, who is very into this whole Lottery situation on Twitter.
