Back in late October, I was thrilled to announce on ESPN The Mag that Deron Williams had a Twitter Feed. Unfortunately, his page no longer exists.
Was I disappointed? Of course. But, Deron's departure is not reason enough to abandon the trendy micro-blogging platform. In fact, there are a bunch of basketball heads using the social networking tool to add value to the greater hoops community.
Here are the 10 people in the basketball circle whose tweets you should be following:
1) Barack Obama - @BarackObama
Okay, he's not tweeting about hoops. But he is our president and he loves the game. Plus, he's the most popular guy on Twitter.
2) The Real Shaq - @THE_REAL_SHAQ
Because he's Shaq, dammit!
3) SLAMonline - @SLAMonline
As Free Darko would say, it's what every player reads.
4) True Hoop - @TrueHoop
ESPN insider and top basketball blogger, Henry Abbot.
5) Talk Hoops - @talkhoops
Support the habit.
6) Both Teams Played Hard - @BothTeamsPlayed
Hilarious blogger from Both Teams Played Hard.
7) Red's Army - @RedsArmy
One of the writer's from the best Celtic's site out there, RedsArmy.com.
8) Claude Johnson - @ClaudeJohnson
Claude is the founder and president of Black Fives, Inc.
9) J.E. Skeets - @jeskeets
Witty blogger/podcaster from The Basketball Jones.
10) The NBA Breakdown - @thenbabreakdown
This Canadian couplet hosts a rollicking hoops show on Blog Talk Radio.
Oh, yeah...Please don't forget to follow me: @Peter_R_Casey
