    So last night I'm perusing Instagram when I check the activity feed of people I'm following. For those who don't know, the following tab lets you see the activity of people you're following such as likes, comments on pictures, and new people they're following. So as I'm going through the feed I come across this.

    I had just refreshed the feed so the "40 minutes ago" is accurate. My question, as the thread title states, is wasn't he supposed to be playing basketball at 9:28 (Houston time)? Like aren't there player introductions and other pomp and circumstance going on at that time?

    WHY ARE YOU ON YOUR PHONE??? YOU SHOULD BE WORKING ON YOUR JUMPSHOT INSTEAD OF P̶L̶A̶Y̶I̶N̶G̶ ̶C̶A̶L̶L̶ ̶O̶F̶ ̶D̶U̶T̶Y̶ ON INSTAGRAM!!!

    sorry to burst your bubble but a lot of pro athletes and celebrities don't handle their own social media. They pay people to do that or have their friends do it.

    Might be something to do with the time difference on his phone with him being on the West coast and his phone settings being in CST.... I dunno, but phones are banned on the bench for any NBA players and teams so Im 99.9% sure Patrick wasn't playing on his Iphone during the game.

    This.

    Also, the timing system on Instagram is incredibly inaccurate.

    What a weird response. You started a whole thread on this complete with capslock. He gave you a pretty reasonable explanation.

    I once updated my friend's (a world famous soccer player) facebook status while he was still giving a TV interview. That was just after our team had reached the final of the Champions League. The timing led to obvious questions in the comments. But if I remember correctly, there were hundreds of thousands of likes within less than 10 minutes.

    Maybe that's what happened with Royce White and it was blown out of proportion?

    No.

    I bet he was liking some pics while he's trying to get a rebound.
