Why fans think NBA ref Eric Lewis has a burner Twitter account to defend himself

If this is truly Eric Lewis, he should be proud of his work.

There’s something about the NBA when it comes to burner accounts, man. No idea what it is, but everyone seems to have one.

Kevin Durant had multiple burner accounts as an NBA superstar. He probably still does. Jerry Colangelo’s wife — allegedly — also had a burner account where she defended the former 76ers executive.

NBA referee Eric Lewis is the latest to spark chatter that he might have his own burner account.

Fans somehow stumbled upon this mysterious Twitter account that, for whatever reason, always defends NBA officials — mostly Eric Lewis.

The account — @CuttliffBlair — which as of this morning has deleted all of its tweets but still has a long list of liked tweets tied to Lewis — doesn’t seem to tweet about anything else besides Lewis.

As things went further and further, the situation got funnier.
