Evan Turner is already an NBA villain. But in WWE? Oh, man.

Evan Turner on Twitter (@thekidet)

Like quite a few people on this list Turner makes it because he does not care who is one the receiving end of his jokes. Even if it is himself. That leads to quite a few funny moments on the site, especially since Turner and his contract have been pretty much universally panned since the moment he signed it last summer.

In just the last month, Turner quote tweeted a Bleacher Report tweet that called him a bust thanking them for giving him his “first cover”, asked a hypothetical question regarding Phil Jackson marrying Jeanie Buss and then trading the Lakers Kristaps Porzingis, and made a joke that was meant to be serious about a New York Times study on racial profiling in traffic stops. Basically Turner is a one shop stop for a bunch of random takes on random things. Oh, and he kind of blasts the 76ers quite a bit in his replies to people if you really want to look for that.

Finally with his Portland Trail Blazers teammates Damian Lillard and C.J. McCollum already on this list you get the full Blazers experience by following all three. That makes sure that all the trio’s replies to each other (and there are quite a few) show up in your timeline, which is a good thing.

Now if they can just translate that chemistry onto the floor.

(Also, his take was that he would make the trade if he were in Jackson’s shoes but he would need ownership of the Lakers written into a prenup. Which is smart thinking if we are being honest about his crazy hypothetical idea.)
