With All-Star weekend now here in the NBA, the league has released some pretty awesome new emojis. 

The NAB All-Star weekend is just about here, as the festivities will be taking place beginning on Friday. Of course, each and every year the league will try to find new ways to celebrate the occasion, and this year they’ve done it again.

And they’ve asked Twitter for help.

On Thursday we were treated to the new emojis the league came out with, as they partnered up with Twitter to bring us these for the All-Star weekend festivities as we follow along on social media throughout it all.


The player ones are pretty awesome, but when looking at these, we have to talk about the ones that were created for the awesome guys from the NBA on TNT crew.

Of course Ernie Johnson gets the bow tie, so that’s no surprise there. But Charles Barkley with the doughnut and Shaq with the giant turkey leg are just priceless. If you look at those and don’t laugh at least a little bit, then there’s probably something wrong with your sense of humor.
