Tweet of the Day: Anthony Tolliver

by

Remember the 1990s, back when it was trendy to break backboards? Darryl Dawkins broke them almost with regularity, then the league introduced breakaway rims. Shaquille O’Neal brought down entire basketball goals. Eventually, the NBA was prompted into action, implementing rules to prevent such breaks. Well, breaks are back, as we can see in this tweet from Atlanta Hawks reserve Anthony Tolliver. Earlier today, Tolliver’s teammate Ivan Johnson shattered a backboard at Butler’s practice facility in Indiana as the Hawks prepared for Tuesday night’s

Tweet of the Day: Kevin Durant

by

Can you imagine falling faster than the speed of sound…from the edge of space? How would you react? Would you classify the experience as being fun? Thrilling? Exhilarating? Or would you be sweating bullets? Perhaps you—like some others—would release your bowels? One such person is Kevin Durant who, after seeing Felix Baumgartner’s free fall from the earth’s stratosphere, wrote:

Wow just seen Felix Baumgartner jump from the edge of space! #couldnthavebeenme..my pants woulda smelled like a dump truck lol congrats

When corrected by a fan, Durant confirmed the hypothetical status of his pants:

While Kevin’s response is quite humorous, Baumgartner’s feat was anything but. It was both amazing

Tweet of the Night: Enes Kanter

by

The young Turk is quickly becoming a favorite of ours in this here piece of real estate, partly because his questionable use of tact. For instance, when Kanter wanted company/companionship for dinner, he told his followers where he was eating and asked for a random female to join him — but blondes only. (He later requested brunettes only — for a post-meal massage.) When he took part in the Jazz dance-off at an open practice, he tweeted the video of his,

Tweet of the Day: Bruce Bowen

by

Continuing with the ongoing theme of the week for the NBA, our Twitter feed takes us back to China. Former San Antonio Spurs small forward, now NBA analyst for ESPN, Bruce Bowen succinctly expressed the excitement that Chinese basketball fans have for the game. He sent out this tweet from Shanghai at the Miami Heat’s open practice:

 To say that the Heat received a warm welcome would be an understatement. The Mercedes-Benz Arena, site of Sunday’s exhibition game against the Los Angeles

Tweet of the Night: Dwyane Wade

by

There is news out there from my buddy and old cohort Marc Stein that Dwyane Wade’s deal with Li-Ning will pay him $10 million annually for 10 years, plus significant equity in the company.  That is some serious cheddar. In case you missed it, we filed a story two days ago about Wade’s deal, noting that Li-Ning does not sell its products in U.S. retail stores … at least not yet. Wade is currently in China now, where many of his teammates

Marquis Daniels
Tweet of the Day goes to Marquis Daniels, who was one of many around the league to comment on a video that contained a male bus driver using excessive force of sorts against a troublesome female commuter. To be more specific, cell phone videos started surfacing on Thursday that detailed a Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority bus driver uppercutting a young woman and throwing her off of the bus after a heated argument. Here is that video: The driver in question

Tweet of the Night: Steve Novak

“@jkevallday: This Pic explains everything about today’s Knicks preseason opener @stevenovak20twitpic.com/b3a1dr” (Hahahahaha!) — Steve Novak (@stevenovak20) October 12, 2012 Tweet of the Night went to Steve Novak, who clearly enjoyed a fan-made photoshopped image of himself as “God of the Arena”. Novak has been working on different ways to get his shot off over the summer after struggling against the Miami Heat in the playoffs, and displayed his shooting stroke in the Knicks’ first preseason game against the Wizards by shooting a perfect

Kobe Bryant is at his sarcastic, snarky best when he is talking about the 2005-2007 Lakers.

Tweet of the Night went to Arash Markazi of ESPN, who quoted Kobe Bryant’s thoughts on some of his previous teammates. So apparently, Bryant is not a fan of  Smush Parker, Chris Mihm and Kwame Brown, but this isn’t exactly a surprise. Bryant has often spoken frankly about the lack of talent that surrounded him prior to the arrival of Pau Gasol in Los Angeles. Here’s what he previously had to say about the play of
