Twitter reactions to NBA HORSE tournament better than actual tournament
By Amy Kaplan
The Twitter reactions to the NBA’s HORSE tournament turned out to be better than the actual tournament.
We had high hopes when the idea of a H-O-R-S-E tournament using all NBA players came to light. After all, we are all desperate for some sports, no matter what kind. The things is, maybe we aren’t desperate enough … not yet anyway.
If you took a look at Twitter it appears as though the overall consensus is the tournament was a big fail. The video quality, the excitement and the nostalgia just wasn’t there.
What ended up actually being entertaining though were the tweets ripping the tournament.
Here are some of our favorites.
