Few sports leagues have a symbiotic relationship with Twitter quite like the NBA. The platform grew up as the league boomed in popularity in the 2010s, with superstars such as Lakers forward LeBron James and Suns forward Kevin Durant embracing it from the get-go.
The league's current generation of young players, in fact, now has little to no memory of basketball before the advent of Twitter. This has given players such as Rockets guard Jalen Green a unique perspective on the site's impact, which he discussed with Clippers forward Paul George in a podcast snippet posted Sunday afternoon.
"I got a couple burners," Green said. "Going on Twitter ... they'll be cool with you, praise you and all that, or if you have a bad game ... he's going to China."
