The electronic accounts of the Greek star Yannis Antitoconembo, the player of the American Basketball Club Milwaukee Bucks, were subjected to piracy, which included his announcement of his move to the Golden State Warriors and insulting the late star of the Los Angeles Lakers Kobe Bryant, before he retrieved it and apologized for what had been done.
"Yannis Antitoconempo's accounts on social media were hacked this afternoon and were canceled," Pax announced Thursday night.
"An investigation into the incident has been opened," added a statement issued, leading the ranking of the eastern region and holder of the best record in the league before the suspension of competitions last March due to the emerging Corona virus.
One of the tweets was a matter of concern to Pax fans, after it seemed that the best NBA player for the 2018-2019 season was "going to Warriors".
Other tweets abused other players such as LeBron James, the Lakers, and the legend of the last Bryant who died last January in a helicopter crash, and was considered by the "Greek giant" as his ideal.
Hours later, the 25-year-old recovered his Twitter account, and he apologized for what happened.
"The tweets and posts were very offensive, disappointing me and my disgust that someone might say these terrible things," Yannis wrote.
"I feel bad that Pax, Chris (Middleton team-mate) LeBron and the family of (Stephen) Corrie (Warriors player) were the subject of malicious and incorrect tweets," he added. "I feel particularly bad about the Bryant family during the sad period, as they should not be exposed For this kind of negativity and behavior. "
Before Pax was confirmed by Pax, Yannis' brother Costas, who plays for the Lakers, announced that his brother's various accounts had been compromised. "Yannis' account on Twitter, his phone, email, and his bank account have been hacked. He apologizes for what was published and will return as soon as possible," he wrote via his own account.
The NBA games were suspended from the night of March 11 after French Utah Jazz player Rudi Goubert was confirmed as "Covid-19", without specifying any date for the possible resumption.
