Ricky Rubio
Tweet of the Day went to Ricky Rubio, who did some spirited trash talking against his Timberwolves teammate Kevin Love about the upcoming (now concluded) exhibition game between Team USA and Team Spain. Rubio will unfortunately miss the Olympics due to a torn ACL, but appears to be confident in Spain’s ability to beat Team USA. He should reconsider that confidence, however, given the fact that his team was ultimately blown out 100-78. It is worth noting that Marc Gasol

Blake Griffin
Tweet of the Night goes to Blake Griffin, who shared a youtube interview he did with actor Rainn Wilson and did the best to make light of his current situation. Griffin should have been in the Olympics to provide much needed size at the power forward position for Team USA and do crazy things like this, but unfortunately suffered a torn meniscus during scrimmage and was replaced by Hornets rookie Anthony Davis. As one would expect, there were plenty

Marc Gasol: "On a bad day for the '92 team, the current team would lose by just 15 or 20 points against them."

HoopsHype
Tweet of the Day goes to HoopsHype for quoting Marc Gasol’s thoughts on the debate of The Dream Team versus today’s USA Team. As you can see from the quote, he wasn’t shy in stating his opinion about just how much better the Dream Team was. There has been a number of different reactions since Kobe Bryant made his infamous claim that his current team could beat the best team ever assembled, from Michael Jordan and Charles Barkley laughing

360 degree view of the Palau Sant Jordi in Barcelona. We play USA here tonight. 360.io/CpmhQX — Manu Ginobili (@manuginobili) July 22, 2012 The big game is not tonight. There is a game, yes, but it is not the big one. That’ll come Tuesday night when the Americans play Spain in Barcelona at the arena pictured in Manu’s tweet above. What is notable about tonight’s US-Argentina game is that it is the only friendly the Americans will play against a team they are

Steve Nash
Tweet of the Night goes to Steve Nash, who agreed with his new teammate Metta World Peace in regards to how crazy the NBA could have been if twitter existed in the earlier days. It’s safe to say that we are all in agreement with the notion that the league could have been a lot more interesting with a tool like twitter. Today’s athletes are always under the microscope for everything they do, especially when they are megastars like LeBron

@paugasol
Pau Gasol
Tweet of the Day goes to Pau Gasol, who expressed his appreciation of Kobe Bryant’s support. Asked by a Spanish reporter about Gasol’s status with the Lakers, Bryant replied, “As long as I’m there, he’s going to be there.” That is a very strong statement by Bryant, given the fact that Gasol was actually traded to the Houston Rockets before the start of last season, until commissioner David Stern nixed the three-team trade that would have sent Chris Paul to

Jared Dudley
Tweet of the Night goes to Jared Dudley, who took a playful jab at former teammate Grant Hill after he hashtagged “lobcity” to indicate his official signing with the Los Angeles Clippers. It’s a reasonable jab, given the fact that the seemingly ageless Hill is actually turning 40 before the start of next season. He averaged 10.2 points on 44.6 percent shooting to go with 3.5 rebounds and 2.2 assists last season. It will be interesting to see how Hill’s body

LeBron James
Tweet of the Day goes to LeBron James, who addressed the devastating shooting catastrophe in Colorado. To summarize, a gunman open-fired at a large crowd of audience watching the premiere of “The Dark Knight Rises” at a theater in Aurora. Details can be found on TMZ, and information on the gunman can be found here. Jessica Redfield, an aspiring sports journalist, was one of the victims of the shooting. It is possible that the shooting may have been inspired by
