From Champions League Banter to Mourning an NBA Legend: A Month in Tweets from NBA Players

Being an NBA player means first knowing how to play basketball at least a little bit, but it also means being scrutinized by all the fans on your every move. In the current League, this now happens through social networks, including Twitter in large part.

While some adopt a sober and refined communication, others decide to literally hit the fan and constantly drive the Twittersphere crazy, to our great delight. A look back at some tweets that marked the past month.

NB: some translations may not be taken literally into French word for word, but may be adapted to be more easily understandable without changing the meaning.

# At the very beginning of the month, the Champions League was the talk of the town.

Champions League Sunday 🙌🏽
