Thursday night may have been a dream for new Chicago Bulls forward Bobby Portis as he was selected with the 22nd overall pick in the 2015 NBA Draft, but as he’s finding out the hard way, fame and notoriety come with a price.
Back in 2011, Portis sent out a couple of tweets from his Twitter account bashing Derrick Rose and Pau Gasol, both of whom will be teammates of his with the Bulls next season.
Here is a screengrab of his tweet about Rose:

On Friday, Portis tweeted out an apology for his remarks:

If there’s a lesson to be learned from this situation, it’s that things written on the internet aren’t written in pencil with the capability of being easily erased.
