What happened to NBA Centel? The parody account that fooled Colin Cowherd
NBA Centel, a parody account on X (formerly Twitter), gained notoriety for posting fictitious yet plausible NBA news, often leading fans and media figures astray. Recently, the account’s posts were suddenly removed from the platform, sparking discussions about its abrupt disappearance.
The account’s influence was notably highlighted when media personality Colin Cowherd cited a fabricated report from NBA Centel, claiming the Dallas Mavericks had banned Luka Dončić jerseys—a story that was entirely untrue.
The term “centel’d” has since emerged, humorously describing the act of being deceived by such parody accounts.
Following the removal of NBA Centel’s content, several NBA teams, including the Orlando Magic, expressed support for the account, acknowledging its role in adding a lighthearted element to NBA discourse.
As of now, the exact reasons behind the account’s sudden content removal remain unclear, leaving fans and followers speculating about its future presence on social media platforms.
