@SamHinkie joined Twitter in July 2009. When Hinkie was hired to be the Sixers’ GM, the account – which had no pictures, bio, avi, or tweets – gained some followers. When he resigned from the Sixers and mentioned that it was in fact his handle in his letter, the account gained even more followers. After having an account for over seven years, he finally tweeted:

If it’s anything like his resignation letter, I’ll see you at the tweet that starts “1,872 | “.

UPDATE: He’s got a new gig.
