NBA’s Best Twitter

NBA Twitter is more alive than it ever has been. Everyone has a voice that can be heard, whether that’s for the good or for the bad. NBA twitter is the most fun when its very own players get involved, which brings us to our next category.

Let’s take a look at the nominees.

Dirk Nowitzki

Dirk never over does it, and never disappoints, which is the beauty of his twitter game. He doesn’t tweet often, but when he does it’s usually hilarious. Winning a Best Twitter award would put an epic cherry on top of his already legendary career.

Javale McGee

Javale McGee has come a long way this season via twitter, and his overall appearance to his peers. In the past he was looked upon as a goofy mistake waiting to happen, but being a Golden State Warrior changed that. It allowed him to become more comfortable in his own skin, and to be able to laugh at himself more.

After an epic twitter beef with Shaq mid-season, he embraced all of his negative attention and flipped it into funny, positive publicity. For that, Javale is a very deserving candidate for the Best Twitter Game award.

Joel Embiid

The limit of constant entertainment with Jojo does not exist. Every day is a new adventure when it comes to Embiid twitter. “Trust the Process” chants in Philly’s arena started from the holy grail that is Joel Embiid’s twitter. He is hilarious, spontaneous, and a big goofy kid. If you aren’t already following him on twitter, I’m convinced you live under a rock.

And the winner for Best Twitter goes to….

Joel Embiid

The voting was a landslide. This is the first unanimous Best Twitter Award winner in the history of this award show. Joel Embiid is the class clown of the NBA and everyone loves him.

Congratulations Jojo and continue as always to Trust the Process.
