The Miami Heat got a little deeper over the weekend, adding NBA veteran Roger Mason Jr. Not exactly a blockbuster signing, but Mason can provide the Heat with additional three-point shooting after losing Mike Miller in free agency. It’s not everyday a player gets the chance to suit up with the champions, but Mason seems to realize that.

Some times, as was the case with Dwyane Wade and Kevin Durant earlier this week, they can be confused as possible marketing gimmicks—as both of the NBA athletes involved are sponsored by and have been featured together in Gatorade advertising.

Interested in reading the mind of Boston Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo? Rondo, who is usually reserved and doesn’t interact much on social media, does occasionally show up on twitter for random Q & A sessions with his followers. He took some time on Wednesday to answer the many burning questions that fans have for him. During this particular session, Rondo revealed some interesting things like who his favorite players in the NBA are, how his rehab is going, what he thinks
Following the NBA on Twitter, fans sometimes are given a window into the lives of their favorite athletes. Sometimes, players give their followers a look inside where and how they live. Followers are commonly given glimpses into NBA athletes’ workout routines, their shoe closets, wardrobes and family interaction. Rarely are fans exposed to the weird in players’ lives.
