I find it interesting that you list players to follow, rather than reporters to follow. This post demonstrates how social media gives power to individuals to be newsmakers and disseminators. The beauty of this growing trend is that audiences get unfiltered access to players’ thoughts, feelings, and emotions. Audiences also get the added bonus of learning about news as it occurs. Three examples come to mind. Shaquille O’Neal announced his retirement on Tout via Twitter. Kevin Durant stole thunder from sportswriters when he informed fans that he resigned with Oklahoma City. Michael Beasley also caused a media frenzy when he announced his head coach had been fired, before the team released an official statement.
