NBA teams have slowly become more and more prone to tweeting fun things. The Atlanta Hawks, whose twitter account as always been 100 fire emojis, has paved the way for more teams doing fun things. Enter the aforementioned Hawks, along with the Portland Trail Blazers during their game last night.


Gobert says no 

nope

Rudy Gobert is long. Rudy Gobert is a good defender. Rudy Gobert was not going to let Carmelo Anthony dunk on him. Rudy Gobert is the good basketball man.

Gettin’ Iggy wit it

When Andre Iguodala won finals MVP last year, I was hyped. Iggy played his tail off, and has really adapted to his role with the Warriors. While he isn’t the same electrifying player who was robbed in the dunk contest, he can still get up sometimes. Like here. I’m about it.

Maybe this wasn’t as good of a dunk as the previous one, but the pass from Leandro Barbosa made it even better. The Warriors are fun. We here like fun basketball. Keep being fun, Warriors.

Rondo goes up and comes down hard

Well. I, for one, didn’t know Rajon Rondo still had this in him. This is impressive. Also, Ryan Kelly is still in the league? I forgot that Lakers team is one that doesn’t stop giving us random players.

Jordan Clarkson is the good dunking man

I… I didn’t know Jordan Clarkson had this in him. Man. This is good. Ben McLemore… Props for at least trying to play defense, but bro… Just get out of the way next time.
