The Top 20 NBA Twitter Accounts

NBA twitter accounts

There’s something about the NBA that brings out some of the best Twitter has to offer.

Major League Baseball has some pretty hilarious players on Twitter too but the NBA has so many that we needed a top 20 list.

So here they are, the top 20 NBA Twitter accounts you must follow!

Chris Bosh (@chrisbosh)

Chris Bosh has a refreshing ability to laugh at himself. Check out all the ridiculous photos of himself.

J.R. Smith (@TheRealJRSmith)

Always considered a bit of a character, JR’s feed is always worth a look.

LeBron James (@KingJames)

18.5 million twitter followers! Need we say more?

Atlanta Hawks (@ATLHawks)

This is the best team twitter account out there.

Jamal Crawford (@JCrossover)

This guy talks real sense, and he seems to really care about his fans too.

Kobe Bryant (@kobebryant)

Kobe Bryant is one of the biggest tweeters in the world, and who could forget that tweet battle with Mark Cuban?

Blake Griffin (@blakegriffin32)

Blake Griffin is just a naturally funny guy, and his feed is every bit as funny.

Kevin Durant (@KDTrey5)

Durrant is developing a bit of a reputation for calling people out. No NBA writer is safe. Even the rapper Lil B felt the wrath of his keyboard.

Chris Kaman (@ChrisKaman)

You’ve got to love all of his chat about hunting. And he was on point when he said he wished he could hunt Katy Perry’s mythical beast from the Superbowl.

Joel Embiid (@JoelEmbiid)

Thanks to his ‘association’ with Rihanna, Embiid was a twitter sensation before he’d even taken a shot in the NBA.

Dirk Nowitzki (@swish41)

This is a well-travelled man right here. You can see him talking about sport across the world in both English and German, and if you’re lucky, free tickets for Mavs games.

Chris Paul (@CP3)

Chris Paul’s got to have the cutest kid in the NBA. In amongst his NBA commentary, keep an eye out for his little one on Instagram. 

Pau Gasol (@paugasol)

You won’t see any trolling from Gasol – he’s one of the more balanced commenters you’ll see on twitter. And he tweets in Spanish too!

Mark Cuban (@mcuban)

The Dallas Mavericks owner sure pulls no punches!

Nick Young (@NickSwagyPYoung)

This guy has no shame, but it’s kinda interesting to keep tabs on his outlandish lifestyle.

Damian Lillard (@Dame_Lillard)

Not a shrinking violet, Lillard is good value for calling out trolls.

Roy Hibbert (@Hoya2aPacer)

An unashamed geek, Hibbert doesn’t fit your average profile for an NBA star, and that’s why he’s worth following.

Stephen Curry (@StephenCurry30)

The number one shooter in the game is worth a look, if nothing else for his exchanges with Warriors fans.

JaVale McGee (@JaValeMcGee34)

Not afraid to retweet himself, McGee is generally good value.

Phil Jackson (@PhilJackson11)

Just like his Knicks career, Jackson’s opening forays into social media were up and down, but now he’s hit his stried.
