It's still offseason, and the plot between Anthony and Houston is finally coming to an end, but August seems like it's going to take six weeks to end. Journalists have to write articles every year at this time to express their ideas, and the players are tasked with sharing videos on INS to create this discussion, which is the root of what is happening now.
There are so many social media accounts in the NBA that if I filter out your favorite players, it might be a bit too one-sided. It almost shows that I don't like them. For now, let's take a look at who's the king of offseason traffic.
Brian Colangelo (and his wife) 76ers
It doesn't seem reasonable for the Colangelos to be lined up here. Because they really don't play basketball much, but they can't be excluded from the game. Recap: A bunch of angry trumpets (mostly one) tweeted sensitive information about the Philadelphia 76ers. At first, all the contradictions pointed to Brian, the 76ers general manager, and later it was assumed that Brian's wife, Barbara, sent the tweets, including criticism of the draft and protection of his famous big collar.
Brian tried to abandon the car and basically blame his wife, using this almost inconspicuous strategy to save his face. But in the end he failed. Colangelo may need to do it again this summer if he wants to win media attention again, but at least he won't have that chance until he gets a new job. After all, it is very embarrassing to talk about these things on the table. By the way, the 76ers still don't have a new general manager right now.
Joel Embiid 76ers
His fifth season was very successful. Embiid is still providing a lot of material to the media. He can still maintain a humorous attitude. Of course, he was also very good when he laughed at himself. But Embiid prefers to stir up trouble in the regular season rather than in the offseason. He needed a foil, one by the head. All he needed was a cold-eyed Russell Westbrook or a shaky Hassan Whiteside, and the best thing about Embiid was that he wasn't afraid of any of his contemporaries, and he maintained both a snarky and likable side. Embiid doesn't need to slow down, but he'll save his true strength for the regular season. I very much agree with his strategy.
Kevin Durant Warriors
You know these terriers. Arguing online with players, arguing online with journalists, arguing with kids on INS DMs, what will we remember thirty years from now? KD's fatal blow in Game 3 of the Finals? Or did he say to CJ McCollum, "I just joined your goddamn blog." ”? There's no denying that Durant cares about these words. If it were you, when tens of millions of people were talking about your life on Twitter, wouldn't you want to say anything about it? Durant is not. He may not have made friends during this time, but he is being himself every time he responds to someone else.
Durant is caught up in the ocean of social media, and it's interesting that he admits to spending a lot of time reading comments about himself. And how many players pretend they don't care? Kevin Durant is a bit noisy. And I don't think he should deal with these critical voices in the way he does at the moment. For now, what he says online is harmless, humane.
Inés Kanter Knicks
Joel Embiid is the local version of Kante. Kanter's meaning is also very good, and his tweets are mainly about him exercising, giving back to the community, and making political statements. These are all good.
Stephen A. Smith ESPN
Nothing to say.
Carmelo Antoni Rockets
Someone pours you a glass when you raise your glass, and if you want us to go bankrupt, then erase Anthony. You might say you're tired of this soap opera that's been staged for two consecutive summers. But overall Melon is happy, reminding everyone that he's going to get his money this season.
Prize
With the exception of the NBA players who do nothing but travel and entertainment in the summer, Chinese soup is still a popular example in China, while Dwyane Wade and Gary Buel Younis are enjoying their own people, and then Jamal Crawford, who always seems to be holding a basketball. Everyone is doing a good job and making their lives very comfortable.
Big winner
Kevin Durant. Love him or not, KD will always be here. Durant hit back at his questioning of himself on Twitter in a way that people don't like. While this has attracted attention, there are no winners on several sides in the event, and it all makes no sense. But as a journalist, I want him to continue tweeting, at least until the start of the season.
