No one knows what the future of Twitter holds so we better celebrate while we can, with some of the greatest basketball Tweets of all time.
NBA Twitter has been an indelible part of the basketball experience for more than a decade but since Elon Musk bought Twitter a few weeks ago, the future of the platform has never seemed less certain.
While things are still up and running, letās celebrate some of the greatest NBA and NBA-adjacent Tweets of all time.
