After getting flamed on Twitter by fellow rookie teammates Josh Giddey and Jeremiah Robinson-Earl, Tre Mann was finally given the blue checkmark on his account.

After replying to a tweet from Robinson-Earl, Mann asked his teammate how he can get verified on Twitter. Giddey would then egg him on by saying to avoid missing free throws that would get him to 30 points.
How do I get the blue check guys?

What Giddey said🤷🏽♂️

Josh tell Twitter we’re teammates.. see if that works

This is a reference to Mann’s 29-point performance against the Dallas Mavericks on Feb. 2, where a missed free throw late in the game stumped his chances of achieving the nice round number of 30 during his then-career-high. Giddey would then poke fun at Mann over this fact after the win by saying he didn’t get the “30 ball.”
Josh Giddey with the jab at Tre Mann, “didn’t have a 30 ball” as Mann is standing right there. Mann finished with a career-high 29.

Mann, who was drafted 18th overall in the first round of the 2021 NBA Draft, has played phenomenal this season as he has averaged 10.4 points on 50.1 true shooting percentage.
