Memphis,

When you post a twitter link by copying the status bar address, it doesn't show up for some or most of us. The status bar address link looks like this:

And the link you get when you go to the share icon at the bottom of a tweet looks like this:

This is what the BB software Purp uses looks for and the "?s=20" at the end of those links is important.

Crazy... I don't understand what would make them want to do this... I read an article that said combined the 18 players earned $343 million from their NBA contracts... $4m is 1% of they NBA earnings... seems like a pretty small sum to risk going to jail for...
