Trey Kerby - a host of the now-defunct The Starters, Kirby is fun and irreverent. Zach Harper - Athletic's Harper has got jokes and good NBA analysis and is generally just a good follow. You’ll appreciate his earnest enjoyment of the game and undying love for anything San Antonio Spurs. Shea Serrano - York Times best-selling author, staff writer at The Ringer, book publisher, do-gooder, and general of the FOH Army, Serrano is an enthusiastic and funny voice on the NBA. He is an absolute repository of NBA and pop culture knowledge and is an obvious follow.ġ2. He also creates and hosts All Caps NBA, which is basically a renamed version of his Emmy-award winning YouTube show, NBA Desktop, on The Ringer. Jason Concepcion - Concepcion, AKA Netw3rk, is hilarious and smart. (I do not have the time to explain.) Such is the beauty of NBA Twitter’s vagaries. But if you’re a Denver Nuggets fan, for instance, you probably don’t love Spike because of his half-joking beef over Denver’s altitude. I've listed a few names but honestly, you’d do well to dig into your favorite team’s community to find more specific folks, too.įor instance, I’m a big Sixers fans and, if that’s your team, you’d have to follow Spike Eskin and Michael Levin of The Rights to Ricky Sanchez podcast. So you’ve got to follow him for that.Ĭommentary, jokes, three-level-deep references and irony - these are the real reasons to be on NBA Twitter. Shams Charania - Woj isn’t breaking the news, chances are his protege-turned-rival Shams Charania is. Simply put: He breaks nearly all the news you need to know around the league. If you want to be on NBA Twitter, then ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowksi - commonly known as just Woj - is a prerequisite. Adrian Wojnarowski - no other name that could start this list. They're the major power brokers in the media landscape, or they break or make the news. The first group of folks I listed are the people you simple have to follow. I'm sure I missed some but here are 30 accounts that would be a good representation of NBA Twitter. I tried to select a diverse sampling of folks who follow the NBA and post about it. I also didn't include brand accounts or team accounts because.well you could probably find those on your own. I didn't include any actual NBA players because they're in the games, not the folks making the specific world online. If you'd like to jump into that world, following these accounts would be a good start.īy the way: This is is in no way comprehensive. That in mind, I tried to put together a list of great accounts on NBA Twitter. Like almost any online community there's a barrier to entry. Finding the right mix of follows, understanding the jokes - it all takes time.
