Twitter noun; a website in which individuals interact by means of a brief, 140-character-limit message WE tried to keep this 140 characters and under, but it’s impossible under such a constrained format to properly convey how vital Twitter has become to an NBA fan. Whether you long to follow the exploits of your favorite NBA player—the self-deprecating musings of @SteveNash,

the id-like persona of @aa000G9, the mass appeal of @SHAQ, the varied musings of @Amareisreal (just a few examples)—the many media experts and outlets (shameless plug alert: @HOOPmag) that provide valuable insight to the game, or just to connect with other

fans, it’s almost required to be on Twitter if you’re serious about your NBA habit. Oh, and don’t forget @NBA, it’s only the most followed sports league Twitter, natch. Remember the once solitary and passive experience of watching a basketball game on TV? It’s been forever

changed with the advent of the tweeting blue bird. Just hop on Twitter during any game and you can instantly trade barbs, wit, analysis and hashtags with likeminded fans and the occasional celebrity or voyeuristic NBA player as the action unfolds. Now, that’s #gamechanging. —#2 HOOP
