They're Playing Basketball! (but not tweeting)


Will The Real Tim Duncan Please Tweet?
by TMZ Staff

Tim Duncan claims he was booted from his Twitter account ... because he's not the 6'11" NBA star by the same name.

The white Tim tells us he got an email from Twitter Tuesday informing him they were shutting down his account because they believed he was trying to "impersonate" the Black, much taller Tim Duncan.

For some reason Twitter had a change of heart yesterday and his account was re-activated.

We reached out to Twitter and we're still waiting for an explanation ... in 140 characters or less, of course.

I can't blame for Twitter for thinking the future Hall of Fame Spur was being impersonated on Twitter. By the look of the guy on the left I'm sure he's pretty much just as dry and boring as the 7 footer from San Antone. I wonder how many Twitter fans the real Tim Duncan could even get. Probably about half of what Lebron or Kobe could draw. You know, just like with NBA Finals viewers.
