Trying to tweet a quote from a New York Times story went very, very wrong for the Bleacher Report NBA account Wednesday. The key part of the since-deleted tweet in question is seen above; here’s a screencap of the whole tweet, and the 152 retweets and 790 likes it had shortly after posting.
Hoffman, the New York Times writer tagged in the tweet, pointed out that this Bleacher Report tweet was actually a quote from a piece on Tatum from his colleague Sopan Deb, that it didn’t include a link to that piece, and that it spelled Tatum’s name wrong.

Deb also called this out:

Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the tweet?
