Twitter wins again.
Who doesn’t love Twitter?
There’s no better pro sport that has anywhere near as much fun on the platform that the NBA teams do, From collectively roasting the POTUS to spreading wild (and well thought-out) conspiracy theories, the NBA Twitter accounts keep us all entertained.
Take Friday’s shenanigans for example.Friday, The Atlanta Hawks just tried to get some Thanksgiving advice from their friends (or is that foes) from around the league.
And, like most things on Twitter, it turned into a troll-fest in a matter of moments:

Sheeesh — that’s gotta hurt! The Nuggs are, of course, referring to their 45-point beatdown of the Hawks the night prior.
It then spilled into the comments — loaded with GIFs.

The Trail Blazers, who the Hawks originally asked for advice, were a little too quick to pile shit on Atlanta.

There’s a reason why the NBA is killing the game right now — and this is well and truly a part of it. Connecting with the younger audience on their preferred platforms keeps the interest sky-high. The NFL and MLB should be taking notes.
