Hassan Whiteside trolled by fans on Twitter for not knowing how USA Time Zones work

Portland Trail Blazers Hassan Whiteside is fast running the risk of becoming the new NBA meme after his supposed 'fake' tweet gained traction on social media. After Tuesday's presidential debate between Republican candidate and current US President, Donald Trump and Democrat leader, Joe Biden, a host of athletes flocked to social media to express their views for the upcoming Presidential Elections. An NSFW tweet supposedly from Hassan Whiteside went viral on where the 31-year-old claimed he won't be able to live in America for another four years, instead, he will be moving to Hawaii.

Unfortunately for Whiteside, this was only the start of the now-viral "Hassan Whiteside meme". The former Miami Heat star took to Twitter later that night, stating the tweet is just a fabricated piece of work. Whiteside justified himself, highlighting the time the 'fake' tweet was posted, claiming "it's not even 9:36 where he's at." 

The 31-year-old was heavily roasted for his comments with netizens claiming the NBA star apparently has some problem understanding time zones and the how it works on Twitter.

Check out some of the best comments from fans: 

Meanwhile, Whiteside is widely expected to enter free agency this offseason. His contract expires at the end of the 2019-20 season, during which he made a reported $27 million. He is coming off a stellar season for Portland, averaging 15.5 points, 13.5 rebounds, 1.2 assists in 26.7 minutes. However, with Jusuf Nurkic expected to take the starting role next season, Whiteside could be in the hunt for a new challenge before the start of the 2020-21 campaign. 

The Portland Trail Blazers exited the NBA playoffs after a first-round 1-4 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. One of the best teams in the NBA bubble, the Trail Blazers qualified for the playoffs on the back of a stellar 8-1 record during the regular season in Orlando. After scoring a Game 1 victory over Western Conference leaders, the Lakers, Portland fell to 4 back-to-back defeats, which ended their 2019-20 campaign. 

The Lakers advanced to the NBA finals after a 4-1 win over Denver Nuggets in the Western Conference Finals. They will face Miami Heat in the finals, which will start on Wednesday, September 30.
