Like an elephant, Sixers Twitter never forgets.
That was evident when fans of the Rights to Ricky Sanchez Podcast made #RTArmageddon trend in the United States on Twitter when the Sixers traded up for the first pick in the 2017 NBA draft by retweeting old takes on the team.
Those same they fans won't soon forget the shade the Milwaukee Bucks Twitter account threw after Malcolm Brogdon was named Rookie of the Year on Monday night (see story).
After Brogdon was tabbed ROY, the Bucks tweeted out these two barbs at the Sixers and their fans.

This comes exactly one week after the Sixers' Twitter account laughed at the Bucks throwing shade at "The Process."

With some of the best and brightest stars in the NBA on both rosters, could a rivalry of sorts be brewing between the teams?
The jury is still out on that, but you better believe Sixers fans on Twitter will not forget the shade thrown from the Bucks over the past week.
This Twitter war has just begun.
