Great NBA Twitter Accounts

Posted on July 19, 2009 by Dino Gomez

Since everybody and their mom is on Twitter, I thought that I would go ahead and list some of those NBA players who have also joined the bandwagon. Now not all of the following players actually tweet every message themselves… some players have ghost tweeters or people that tweet messages for them. However all the following accounts are real and do represent the players themselves.The following list is composed of those accounts which I enjoy following and those which tweet often. A more comprehensive list can be found at Blogs with Balls.

@Baron_Davis = Baron Davis
@CV31= Charlie Villlanueva
@chrisbosh= Chris Bosh
@jalenrose= Jalen Rose (NBA announcer- retired player)
@JBay4 = Jerryd Bayless
@the_real_nash = Steve Nash
@THE_REAL_SHAQ= Shaquille O’neal
@Dinogomez = Dino Gomez

Bron Bron and Artest?

Posted on July 2, 2009 by stone86

The Cavaliers are stoked. Not only did they land the giant Saguaro Shaquille O’Neal, but now Lebron is working his star power in an attempt to convince Mr. Ron Artest to join them in Cleveland. Signing a guy like Artest would be huge, making them the unequivocal favorites to win the east, even if the Celtics are healthy. Also, it’s rumored Trevor Ariza’s representation is making him available to the rest of the league. It sounds like talks with the Lakers are breaking down and the Cavaliers are possible suitors. Ariza probably wouldn’t have the immediate impact that Artest would, but he is also much younger and his game has consistently improved since leaving UCLA for the NBA. Ariza could be a great long-term fit but the Cavs appear unwilling to wait for a title. In either scenario however, the Cavs will be in great shape.

In other news, Detroit has made the first big moves in the free agent market. With their seemingly endless cap space they were able to pursue and sign both Charlie Villanueva and Ben Gordon. The reported deals have Ben Gordon earning $55 million over 5 years and Villanueva raking in $40 million over 4 years. Now all they need is a coach.

(Also it’s rumored Rudy Fernandez is pissed about the possible Hedo deal. Watch it closely, he is reportedly considering heading back to Europe.)

You know that Heinekan commercial where a group of women scream with the sight of their friend’s new walk in closet only to over hear their husbands screaming louder with the sight of a walk in closet filled with beer? Well imagine that with Shaq and Artest joining in. Confused? Watch below.
