The Olympics are on everyone's mind this summer, from players to fans to even athletes that aren't participating. Miami Heat center Hassan Whiteside falls under the latter category, and his recent social media antics have pulled him into the spotlight.
This week, a tweet about losing to Usain Bolt from SB Nation writer Zito Madu went viral on Twitter. Within minutes of it being posted, Whiteside tweeted the exact same thing.
Imagine training hard for four years, sacrificing your family and social life, only to have Usain Bolt jog and beat you in the 100m

The plagiarism didn't go unnoticed.

Sorry Hassan, but there's a retweet button for a reason.
