This is excerpted from the Minnesota Star-Tribune:
Byron Scott won three NBA championships when he played for the Lakers and he coached the New Jersey Nets to the NBA Finals twice. He is a worldly guy who can talk intelligently on a variety of subjects.
But if you want to see his head explode, just ask the New Orleans coach if he has a team policy on tweets and tweeting.
“A what?” he asked, his eyes widening…
[...] “Who did? Charlie Villanueva?” Scott asked, unaware of the latest issue inside an NBA locker room. “No, I don’t have a policy on that. I don’t know what the hell tweeting is.”
When told he has a player who tweets, Scott cautiously said, “O.K. …” When told it was Chandler, he said, “I know he has a blog. Is that the same thing?”
Of course not, silly.
“Oh, hell,” Scott said, “I don’t know.”
But if you want to really laugh, read the article to see what Kevin McHale said. And, by a series of alarming coincidences, Hornets 247 also has a post today on Twitter and who Hornets fans should be following. No worries, Coach, Tyson hasn’t Twittered during a game yet. But you might wanna tell him to keep his clothes on after big wins, and stop dropping snarky jokes about the OKC debacle. Haha…
Lounging
Hilarious.
Too funny.
Also: how do I get a Gravatar or whatever?
It just goes with your email address. http://en.gravatar.com/
Then when you enter your email in the comment field, your image should pop up. If any other sites use it too, then the same image will pop up there.
Older folks and technology crack me up. “Twittering? Is that drugs?”
