Comedian Hannibal Buress blocks 76ers on Twitter
It doesn't look like professional sports and Twitter are meshing too well in Philadelphia these days.
First, Brandon Graham earned his own hashtag after blocking some unmeasurable number of followers.
Then, there was this exchange between the 76ers' account and comedian Hannibal Buress:
Please don't tweet me. Blocked. https://t.co/GWb74dIvhK

As The Washington Post reports, it isn't exactly clear what drove Buress's decision to block Sixers' account, particularly after he tweeted a video of himself watching their Tuesday night contest against the Lakers.

Though the block did cause Buress to start trending in the City of Brotherly Love:
