NBA legend somehow tweets 'impeach Trump now' while trying to support Cleveland Cavaliers
Share:
A Cleveland Cavaliers legend blamed his lack of tech savvy for a bizarre tweet he posted on Thursday night which was an attempt to support his former team. Austin Carr, who played with the Cavs for nine of his eleven seasons in the NBA, decided to post a tweet after Cleveland saw three players get selected as All-Stars: Darius Garland, Donovan Mitchell, and Evan Mobley. But he ended that message with a bit of a head-scratching hashtag.

'Cavs have three all star, congrats, well deserved GO CAVS #ImpeachTrumpNOW,' read Carr's post. The 76-year-old then deleted the tweet and posted a follow-up explanation a few hours later. 'Need help using my phone, note to self -double check hashtags before posting Go Cavs,' Carr said. Cleveland Cavaliers legend Austin Carr had something of a social media blunder on Thursday. Carr appears to have accidentally posted a tweet with a hashtag against President Trump.

Carr followed that tweet up hours later, saying that he didn't double check his post. Carr has been known for the occasional social media blunder so it's highly possible that he tweeted that hashtag out by mistake. He's a legend in Cleveland sports, known by fans in the city as 'Mr. Cavalier.'. In college at the University of Notre Dame, Carr was named both the AP and Naismith National Player of the Year.
He was drafted first overall in the 1971 NBA Draft and did well for himself with the Cavaliers, playing there from 1971-1980. He then played part of a season with the Dallas Mavericks and one season with the Washington Bullets before retiring. To this day, Carr still sits in the top ten of many franchise records - including games and minutes played among others. His field goals and field goal attempts numbers are second in franchise history - just behind LeBron James.
