Athletes on Twitter
On the internet, anyone can create any username and pose as anyone famous. Just go on Myspace and search for Michael Jordan… you’re guaranteed to come up with a dozen or more profiles for Michael Jordan. Twitter is the same way. There thousands of regular fans posing as famous people. In today’s post I’ll go over a few of my favorite athletes who are really on Twitter.
This post was inspired by a recent tweet from Charlie Villanueva.
In da locker room, snuck to post my twitt. We’re playing the Celtics, tie ball game at da half. Coach wants more toughness. I gotta step up.

Some people are saying this is the first instance of a pro athlete using twitter during a game. Ya it was halftime, but it was still during a live game.

I agree, Shaq is definitely the best star on Twitter because he talks about more than basketball. This allow fans to really connect with him other than just a shared love for basketball.
“Athletes Who Tweet” is another good source for finding all the pro athletes on Twitter.
I love to use Twitter whenever i want to know the latest buzz about my friends. I also use Twitter to know the latest buzz from famous persons ~
