Top 5 Tweets of the Week

What up fellas? Today I'm introducing a new feature for the blog.
The NBA has taken over the tweet-scene as current players like Dwight Howard, retired legends such as Kareem Abdul-Jabber, TV personalities like Kenny Smith, and even sports columnists like your boy Bill Simmons are all over twitter these days.

As my twitter feed follows almost all of these guys (and I even have a follow from Ron Artest himself) - each week I shall bring to you guys the top 5 tweets of the week right here. There's no better way to get insights, analysis/news and even some laughs from around the league.

5. "NBA front office moves are like highly anticipated rap albums....they always get leaked! Congrats eddie jordan..."

Sixers G Andre Iguodala using a metaphor to introduce his new coach...think there's rap album in the works for Iggy? <- Perfect rap name right there. 4. "As always, thank u to the fans. Now I'm gonna tear into all this Willy Wonka candy I got. Nerds & Sweet Tarts for days! LOL. Thanks WW."

Lakers F Lamar Odom on how he plans to celebrate the series win against Denver. How can a professional athlete get to eat all that sweet stuff and still be able to perform on such a high level? Talk about having your cake and eating it too...smh.

3. "Check out Football for Good videos...SHOWDOWN JUNE 24th Boi!!! http://www.facebook.com/ste..."

Suns G Steve Nash - I put this here because, I find it sooooo funny how this multi all-star and 2 time MVP in BASKETBALL, is ALL ABOUT soccer during his offseason. Most people don't know, but he grew up playing soccer and his father played in the English Premier League. Steve himself plays in a summer league every year in New York, and he hosted a charity event that soccer great Thierry Henry attended as well as other NBA players like Baron Davis and Jason Kidd.

2. "Brilliant brilliant brilliant game by Kobe tonight. In my opinion, his 2nd-best ever behind G4 Sac '01: http://tinyurl.com/4ahyuz .... In Denver's defense, this series could have turned out differently if Chauncey Billups was still alive."

The "Sports Guy" Bill Simmons himself back to his old habits (I'll explain) - ABOUT 5 minutes before he made that post, I had just put up a tweet that read "Kobe's best playoff performance since the Shaq era, but also one of Billup's worst in his playoff career" ...see, I told y'all this guy was a mind thief.

1. "Follow my nigga @Jesus_M_Christ. Who knew they had wireless in heaven!!"

The ever so candid and entertaining Rockets F Ron Artest...one of the funniest guys in the league hands down.

I'll be back next weekend for more tweets of the week!
